Ahahahhaha, $250k to get owned on viral video lmao
Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

I managed to get into the city for a night out this week & it kicked proper ass. Had the Gosht Ahuna & the Avocado Banana Chaat at Rasika that was yummy af! Wifey's a pretty thorough foodie, but has a blind spot for Indian food, so this was a rare treat... www.rasikarestaurant.com/penn-quarter...

I really dug how they both approached the writing's metaphysical questions, as they sought an accounting of the forces at play in both music composition & war. In a totally weird, but also totally reasonable way, their discussions reminded me of Rakim's song Who Is God. genius.com/Rakim-the-my...

I don't vote in Maine, but if I did, I would find this pretty convincing. Electing criminals has not served us well.
Troy Jackson: "As late as 2024, the FBI was circling around Sen. Collins ... then when President Trump came back, his administration dismantled the investigation. Now she votes with Donald Trump 96% of the time. Look, I don't owe Donald Trump nothing."
Yes. These flawed logic puzzles are not too complex to debunk. Look how easy it is!
Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

I've grown to really dislike this mostly benign-looking white woman who could be any of 100 women at my mom's church. She holds too much power to be this mid. Sunlight remains the best disinfectant & it's past time for her to abdicate.
(1) Susan Collins looks ancient in this debate (2) Basically Collins wants a cookie for getting Trump to withhold part of his absurdly unconstitutional tariffs, when senators should be fighting to end them all: congress, not the president, controls taxation.

I adore dunking, as my friends know. One of my favorite categories of dunks is upon smug, self-important assholes who speak and write like they're better than us, yet make continued, repeated mistakes while presenting flawed logic. Dunks on shite judges is as much fun as dunks on Michigan bloggers.
one funny thing about Alito is he is constantly fuming over his critics. just a big blubbering baby.

Justice Alito devotes an entire chapter of his new book to the emergency docket—and to responding to people like me (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”). As I explain over at “One First,” it … didn’t go well: www.stevevladeck.com/p/256-so-une...
