Travis Kelce should be the VP pick:
> White guy
> Midwest
> Good on TV
> High name-ID
> Big wins in FL, AZ and NV
> No issues playing second fiddle to a person of color or a woman
> Brother could deliver PA
> Would simply beat the shit out of JD Vance on live tv
They’re doubting you, 46.
They think you’re washed, 46.
They think they can bully you, 46.
They don’t think you have the courage, 46.
They’ve forgotten what you can do, 46.
Are you ready to show them, 46?
It sucks when candidates run scared and abandon popular progressive policies but I think people need to remember what things used to be like. So take a quick tour with me through the dark ages of the 00’s and 10’s

1. The classic Joe Manchin “Dead Aim” ad
Netanyahu said today he is actively working to ethnic transfer of Palestinians out of Gaza in a Likud meeting today. The problem, he said, is which countries will take them.
Hakeem Jeffries has received more total lifetime votes to be speaker than any person at least since the civil war, and he’s only been the democratic caucus leader for 10 months.
In her latest campaign video, Kamala Harris wrongly claimed to be the first vice president to ever grow chili peppers. Thomas Jefferson was growing them in 1767!
I fully oppose Israeli apartheid but if you’re gonna tell me that attending a Shabbat meal at Hillel is problematic my response is going to be “Fuck you”

NEW: Florida just approved PragerU Kids’ right-wing propaganda videos for use in public school classrooms. There's copaganda, celebrations of colonialism, and more. Follow along for some lessons DeSantis et al are foisting on students.

NBC News: Trump's arraignment can't go forward unless he finds local counsel — and it's unclear whether he has.
At least one prominent Miami-based defense attorney has turned down Trump.
If Trump doesn't find local counsel, the surrender and first appearance will still happen,
Drinking game for Wednesday:
DeSantis says “woke”: one sip
Hunter Biden is mentioned: two sips
Nikki Haley suggests Kamala is the real president: take a shot
Mike Pence says “I swore an oath”: one shot
Johnson, Burgum or Suarez get mentioned by another candidate: two shots
Killing congestion pricing & then hoping the furor all blows over is so fucking funny because every single time someone walks through a car-choked intersection or has a shitty subway/bus ride from now until the end of time they will think of and blame

UC Berkeley predates the city of Berkeley, employs a majority of its residents and generates most of the cities revenue instead of the “tax paying homeowners” are in fact not paying much taxes bc of prop 13. And the freeloaders are *stunned* that a college town has college kids!

I think the recession made the US version iconic just because they were perfectly positioned to talk about it both from a serious plot moving way and also to mock it.

The mistake people make with these peace offers of years past is they look at a map and judge just based on borders. The issues with all these past offers are not necessarily about territorial control (though there are some issues) but really… everything else.
Vice President Harris: Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda... Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages. When you read it, you will see Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare, give tax breaks to billionaires, end the
A lot of people chafe at favorable invocations of Rabin and I get why… but Rabin is deified by many diaspora Jewish circles and simply pointing out that “Rabin is dead, his policies are dead, his party is dead and his murderers run the country” is a powerful argument to them.
i think israelis are not interested in a two state solution because the people who murdered yitzhak rabin are in charge and the annexation of the west bank and the liquidation of every gazan civilian they can get away with are policy

@jakepaul
He can’t just write an EO that says “I own the sun now!” There’s no way they can enforce that. Similar with crypto, unless of course it’s been falsely advertised.
@averyhatestwt
The “and white supremacy” is doing a lot of work and I doubt even then the connection will be more than “a lot of California leaders in 1846 were kind of racist”
Btw Trump is absolutely going to say antisemitic shit about Sheinbaum and the self people screaming about campus antisemitism will explain why it’s actually fine.
19. Wow, this Kathy Hochul lady seems like a good fit for a red upstate New York district, sure hope they keep her here instead of putting her in a more influential position she’s totally unfit for!
Hillary Clinton:
Netanyahu “absolutely needs to go.”

@WagnerTonight
, Clinton said Biden is “doing everything he can to influence Netanyahu.” But if the PM is “an obstacle to a cease-fire” + “an obstacle to exploring what's to be done the day after” his ouster is required.
