Thank you!

Congrats to the Knicks for finally ending a 53-year championship drought. Longest active title droughts in major North American sports: • Cardinals — 79 years (1947)
• Guardians — 78 years (1948)
• Kings — 75 years (1951)
• Lions — 69 years (1957)
• Hawks — 68 years (1958) After more than half a century, New York is finally off the list.

ALASKA POLL - Senate 🟦 Mary Peltola: 49.4% 🟥 Dan Sullivan: 44.2% 🟥 Gerald Heikes: 3.7% 🟨 Dustin Darden: 2.7 @The_Real_ASR | 5/4-7 | 1,393 LV

LOL no. Wemby is not LeBron

The vice presidency is one of the hardest jobs in politics. Get too far from the president and you're disloyal. Get too close and you inherit every problem. Humphrey never escaped LBJ. But George H.W. Bush navigated Reagan well enough to win the presidency himself. Al Gore came within a few hundred votes in Florida of doing the same. The challenge for JD Vance isn't whether he's Trump's VP. It's figuring out when to be Trump's lieutenant and when to become his own man.

NEW POLL: Micah Lasher leads the NY-12 Democratic primary among likely voters 50 : Lasher 32%, Bores 21%, Conway 13%, Schlossberg 9%. But 21% remain undecided @AARPNY @SienaResearch

How to alienate every fanbase as a politician 101:

Alaska being a toss-up is INSANE. RCV is the reason. Races with Ranked Choice Voting are simply game-changers of unpredictability.

This kind of stat reminds me of presidential campaigns. Political history is full of candidates who were handed the trophy before the game was over. Hillary Clinton in 2007. Jeb Bush in 2015. It's the equivalent of getting fitted for a championship ring before the playoffs start. The problem with being the presumed winner is that everyone else has the same strategy: Beat you. Nothing creates opposition faster than inevitability.

Wow. Knicks don’t quit. Unbelievable resiliency.

Here’s a political truth that everyone knows in politics but nobody will say: Both parties will take any candidate, no matter how deeply flawed or morally reprehensible, if it helps them win. They abandon them if they lose or will make others lose. This explains those who are forced to resign and those who survive….those who are impeached and those who survive. Let’s not pretend this is new. What’s new is that winning is harder than ever and thus political parties will accept more extremism and repugnant individuals if they have even a sliver of a chance of winning.

Currently, Polymarket gives Democrats an 82% chance of winning the House majority in November: polymarket.com/event/which-p… @polymarket Kalshi gives them a 79% chance: kalshi.com/markets/controlh/… @kalshi

Too many states have inefficient voting infrastructure. California is the most outrageous example of this but let’s not pretend this isn’t outdated in a plurality of states. nytimes.com/2026/06/10/opini…

The sky is also blue

Pratt would have been dream candidate for Bass. This has to be something that worries her camp.

It’s unusual to have an underdog team be a New York one but the Knicks fit that bill and the Spurs certainly don’t. Spurs have won 5 times in the last 26 years and the Knicks haven’t won in 53.

Control of the Senate is basically a coin flip. Here are the 5 races that I believe will decide everything: 1️⃣ Maine Susan Collins vs the far-left. Graham Platner’s extreme statements the tattoo controversy have turned this into a referendum on ideological limits in a purple‑blue state. This race asks one question: Can a far‑left nominee win statewide in Maine? 2️⃣ Texas Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee and not the incumbent Cornyn.Democrats have James Talarico — young, disciplined, and gaining national attention. The question now: Does Texas still behave like Texas in a general election? 3️⃣ North Carolina The most important open seat on the map. Democrats have Roy Cooper — twice elected statewide. Republicans have Michael Whatley — former RNC chair, first‑time statewide candidate. This is the definition of a purple‑state fight. 4️⃣ Ohio J.D. Vance’s old seat is now a national storyline. Jon Husted (R) vs Sherrod Brown (D). Ohio has shifted right, but Brown is attempting a rapid return after losing in 2024. This race sits at the intersection of 2026 and 2028. 5️⃣ Alaska One word: RCV. Dan Sullivan (R) vs Mary Peltola (D). Peltola has already won statewide twice under ranked‑choice voting. Sullivan has never run under it. RCV makes this race unpredictable in a way no other state is.

So much for the Spencer Pratt wave. Social media isn't real life, part TK...

Did Nazi this coming

Graham Platner is still a candidate? I assumed the whole Nazi tattoo had disqualified him. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…
