The only thing keeping Democrats from picking up 50-60 House seats and approaching 60 Senate seats this year is their own unpopularity. But they will benefit from being the only other option in a binary choice.

We are sad to hear that actor James Sloyan has died. He played 4 different characters on Star Trek: Admiral Alidar Jarok on Next Gen, Mora Pol on DS9, K'mtar/Alexander Rozhenko on Next Gen, and Ma'Bor Jetrel on Voyager.
Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

See, people start getting a little brave now that Trump is approaching the Bush line.
BREAKING NEWS: Utah GOP Sen. JOHN CURTIS is asking the Senate Judiciary to investigate Donald Trump Jr over a report that a Russian oligarch close to Putin paid for his wedding celebration.

Collins dead to rights on donations for contracts wow.
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

How does sending your kid to a poor school help those who can't afford a better one? And is your duty not to do the best you can for your child? Just like every parent's?
Melissa McCarthy says “we should be on the ninth ‘Spy’ movie by now”:
"It did so well. People can say that doesn’t matter. I think it does. For 'Thunder Force,' we were going to roll right into another one. We were like, 'It’s so fun. It did incredibly well for Netflix. We already have the idea for it.'"
"If I write something — or Ben and I write something — and it tanks, I’ll take the fall. Which we have not had to take. We don’t make $8 billion. We don’t make those kind of movies, but, I mean, $120 million, I’m not mad at that. The studio’s not mad at that. We want to make a reasonably priced thing that makes you a good profit. For some reason, that model is no longer desirable. I can’t figure out the math of it."

"Hey so" and "what we're not gonna do is [x, y, z]" are like nails down the chalkboard twitter syntax. The only thing missing is "hope this helps!"

Yes, but the tricky bit is, Texas almost certainly becomes purple as a result of this. People flee blue states *saying* they want red state policies, but give it a few years and a lot of the blue state people who fled are like “this place is too right wing.” See: CO. (Also UT has become bluer, as has TX already).

my view is different. i think lots of people are mean here who are nice in real life. Social media brings out or rewards being a jerk

Re: the midterms, Trump is dipping into the low 30s, even high 20s, and his numbers will only get worse. The cake is baked. Republicans are going to lose in places they never imagined losing. Democrats will win the House by a wide margin, and they’ll win the Senate, too.
Kushner is not the president. No one objected when Jeffries met with Trump for official business, though Trump openly mocked him afterward

Michael Whatley was on George W. Bush’s legal team in the 2000 Florida recount and served in his Department of Energy.
But he’s getting so thoroughly worked by Roy Cooper that Bush isn’t even bothering to fundraise for him.
Maybe even funnier than the Ken Paxton omission.

dont understand the "whats the point of assigning homework, they can have AI do it" argument. my math books had the answers in the back. it was very clear to my teacher why I was getting As on homework and then I had no idea wtf I was talking about in class.
