Some things to know for the out of staters hungrily looking to target Mike Lee in 2028:
1. We're not doing McMullin again.
2. There is no real bench otherwise beyond Ben McAdams.
3. McAdams spent millions of dollars torching his conservative brand this year so he could win UT-1.
do you think maybe the far-right parties might be getting more attention because they're in, you know, the government
Americans focus an inordinate amount of time on Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, two ultra-right ethnonationalist leaders in Israel.
For context: Gvir's party has 7 seats so far in this election. Smotrich's has 6.
Joint List, the left-wing Arab party: 11 seats.
Ra'am, Mansour Abbas's Islamist conservative party: 8 seats.
The Democrats, lead by a pro-two state solution Zionist: 8 seats.
B'Yachad, an anti-Netanyahu coalition party: 12 seats.
Yashar, the chief opposition party under Eisenkot: 21 seats.
Makes you wonder about how much time Twitter pundits and American pundits focus on the far-right radicals in Israel.
"it doesn't matter that Arabs in the West Bank can't vote because they dont live in Israel" well someone should tell Netanyahu that
Bob Ross is actually a perfect example to show why art lovers are unimpressed by AI art. Bob Ross is not famous for his paintings. He is famous for his videos in which he showed *how* he made his paintings. The process matters!
Josh Turek does not believe trans identity is valid and does not think trans people deserve the medical care they need. Now what?
If Texas actually gets a Democratic state government willing to spend government resources building real public transit, this country might genuinely enter an unstoppable Austin Hegemonic Order.

This video is such a cool time capsule of the pre-AI world. Filling the internet with cheap slop used to require you:
1. Scour Audible for trending topics
2. Hire a ghost writer
3. Hire a voice actor
4. Hire a graphic designer
5. Wait one month
Feels like a century has passed.
It's so annoying when people who advocate for the United States to have a special relationship with Israel turn around and act baffled when people pay Israel special attention in turn.
I think it says something about Democrats' inability to command the attention economy that the race where Republicans nominated an election denier for a swing state governorship only would've gotten any persistent national attention if the Democrats nominated a DSA candidate.
To be a bit of a Debbie Downer here, this stat could add to the case that there is a kind of "Israel fatigue" building among swing voters, where being loudly anti-Israel *may* be better than being loudly pro-Israel, but being loudly anything-Israel is actually the main put-off.
This theory also explains Stevens's loss, where her "Israel comes to me in my dreams" clip was so damaging less because it made her seem obsessed with Israel *specifically* and more because it made her seem obsessed with a foreign country *vaguely.*
