Gold-standard polling expert @CharlieCookDC says this new gold-standard poll of super-Republican Ohio that has Democrat @SenSherrodBrown ahead of the GOP incumbent Senator by 8% (and the governor’s race tied) is definitely a canary in the coal mine for Republicans nationally.

Midterm elections are almost always bad for a President’s party. But how bad? Is a just-released Fox News poll in Ohio a dead canary in the coal mine? A state that Trump won by eight pts twice (2016 & 2020) and 11 points in 2024 should not look like this charliecookpolitics.com/p/oh…

At Death of A Salesman last night, I inevitably saw the believe-your-own-salesman-BS tragedy as an allegory for America now. Outside a mile from the NBA game, checked the score, 17 points down. 7 minutes to go. Gloom on gloom.
Just woke up, OMFG. American comeback omen? 🙏🏻

Watching these NBA Finals—the first time I’ve ever watched them, let alone three in a row—I’ve been marveling at how often attempted shots ate 3-pointers, a thing that didn’t exist in the NBA when I was a kid. And discovered this interesting stat.

When Trump’s father was just a few years older than Trump is now, he was diagnosed by two MDs as having dementia—his own reporting “in recent years" he’d had symptoms of “obvious memory decline” and significant impairment,” another that he “did not know his birth date [or] age.”

Kyle Clark asked Colorado GOP candidate for governor Victor Marx whether voters should believe he’s lived "one of the most extraordinary lives in human history," or whether he’s "a liar and a fraud."
John Oliver: “That might be the first event in history won by the moderator.”

Amazing speech by Kate Hepburn as the widow of a superrich businessman and presidential contender who was secretly the leader of a cabal of rich fascists plotting to take over the United States. Keeper of the Flame (1942), directed by George Cukor. youtu.be/_abRxAL3hnw?si=oXWi…

“Hegseth said the military’s chaplain corps had been ‘infected by…secular humanism.’ The newly consolidated ‘religious affiliation codes’ will allow…[military] personnel to identify as agnostic’” but “humanism and atheism are among those that were removed from the list.”

In other words: OK, he won’t steal this $1.8 billion directly from taxpayers to distribute to criminals in his cult, but he and his children still get a pass for whatever they’ve stolen in the past or may steal in the future through tax fraud.

Cornered, l crazier by the day as he turns 80 and descends toward a lame-duck downfall, the leader gathers a tight circle of his most loyal sycophants with him in the Führerbunker.

Now that Bill Pulte has been named acting director of national intelligence, it's worth going back to this great profile by @ginaheeb @jdawsey1 and @rebeccaballhaus --->

Good ad—smart, fun, funny, fearless, and very Nebraskan—by Dan Osborn, a great candidate for the U.S. Senate. Who lives in my hometown and I’m happily supporting. And who really could win. osbornforsenate.com

It's like politicians only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad.
Some people say it's the nature of the beast. For me, the beast doesn’t include selling out.
I will not bow to any sponsor.
Party on. 🤘🎸🌎
