@PollTracker2024 Pretty sure in 1996 she said she’d retire in 2008

@TheSkipbowski @d12_damage @daveweigel 2 more years than Obama, 6 more than Trump, but yes 30 fewer than Biden.
English
@d12_damage @daveweigel Georgia is a rational state, but he frankly got lucky in a weird year. I am one of his constituents and I’m really sure what’s he delivered but I don’t have an issue with him. I just don’t think 6 years in the senate = let’s be president!

Reading the Jewish Insider newsletter, wonder if we're reaching Hasan Derangement Syndrome.
Ossoff could suffer by not responding to questions about how Hasan likes him as a candidate?

@alexisence @AustinHoney30 Alexis, I don’t think you know what you are talking about.

How do people unironically think Map 1 is more gerrymandered

Identify the most gerrymandered map in Utah history: Map C or Map 1. Go!

@PollTracker2024 I think there’s distance between “we should cut foreign aid to help our people here” and “we should stop bombing other countries to help our people here”

Axios: A group linked to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is deploying America First-ish rhetoric against Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), the GOP's most vulnerable incumbent in 2026, for backing the Iran war.
"We need that money in Maine, not the Middle East," say a pair of new ads paid for by a 501(c)(4) that's affiliated with the Schumer-linked Senate Majority PAC.

@RedBoulderPunch Until the season finale when Cherry or whoever says “were the lights always so blue in here?” And Matt yells “get down!”

It's so refreshing to see a Marvel thing where the people making it know that it's Fiction, meaning the lighting can just Do That and you don't need to elaborate any further at all

the screen turning blue when bullseye appear isn't a production detail—dex can just do that on command, he's creative like that

@TheKindAnGentle @jmontforttx This chart shows how Republicans have had a Texas trifecta since 2003. California had a Republican governor 2003-2010. Maybe you’ve heard of him

@jmontforttx Leftists are so stupid lmao do you not see that blue? Oh so thats not one party? And its not the same? Okay thanks

Wait until you see T-E-X-A-S. You'll need an extra-wide screen.

Dewey did worse in New York in 1948 than in 1944-Truman lost the state because of left wing 3rd candidate Henry Wallace, who did well with Jewish voters. Wallace was staunchly pro Israel and attacked Truman on the arms embargo, even claiming the admin was controlled by Big Oil!
moses hess@moseshessstan
People forget but Truman lost NY in 1948 where there were about 2.5-3 million Jews. A big part of the lost was due to the arms embargo Truman put on Israel. Dems didn’t take the Jewish vote for granted after that.

@BayernMan12 @LeftOfLansing @admcrlsn It wasn’t a good campaign, we can debate whether she clawed back some support Biden had pissed away or whether she blew an early lead, but her loss was tiny compared to Dukakis, Mondale, Carter 80, or McGovern. Even Kerry had a larger popular vote loss.
English
@GoopLloyd @LeftOfLansing @admcrlsn Slotkin being slightly better than Harris isn’t much of a flex considering Harris ran one of the worst campaigns in Democrat history.
English
Slotkin was The MDP choice. It backed her saying her “moderate” stance would romp against one of the worst Republican candidates ever. She was projected to win by 2-3%, and UNDERPERFORMED. Perhaps, just perhaps, running a directionless “moderate” campaign wasn’t the answer?
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn
2024 Senate: 🔵 Elissa Slotkin won by 0.34% (19,006 votes) 2020 Senate: 🔵 Gary Peters won by 1.68% (92,335 votes) Before Obama won Indiana in 2008, no Dem presidential candidate had won it since 1964. Complacency or overconfidence with this much on the line is ridiculous.
English
@LeftOfLansing @admcrlsn Okay but it stands to reason that Slotkin had some quality more impressive than Harris at least or there wouldn’t have been split ticket voters and Rogers would be a senator
English
@admcrlsn Had Biden remained on the ticket, Slotkin probably loses. Harris kept the state close enough to help Slotkin.

@KaseyHelton05 Someone who was 17 when a Republican was elected Senator in West Virginia in 1956 would have been 75 when it happened again in 2014. Now look where we are.

I was a junior in high school the last time Michigan elected a Republican senator. I’ll be 49 in April.

I would vote for El-Sayed in a safe state and McMorrow in a swing state, simple as. He’s never won a competitive election before and she crushed hers
English
@alexisence UTGOP were welcome to draw competitive districts that were equally as large and refused, but you don’t really care about the plight of the Alaska At Large representative who must fly to Alaska and campaign across the biggest state so I don’t buy your outrage
English
@alexisence I think you know your argument is bad. A city is a distinct community with certain voting intentions, breaking it into 4 so SLC/Provo Residents are minority population in 4 rancher majority districts is definitionally gerrymandering

CD3 rep: 17 counties, thousands of square miles, and a statewide roadtrip.
CD1 rep: a walk around the block.
Fair representation? Fair maps?
C.D. 3 is the biggest loser in all of this.

Details on the death of OpenAI's Sora: • Video generator was losing ~$1M per day • It had fewer than 500K users • Disney execs were informed of the shutdown less than an hour before it was announced • Disney is now in talks with over a dozen companies to implement AI • The Sora team is shifting focus to longer-term bets like robotics (via @WSJ)
English
@the_fartasy @Srirachachau Okay dude did they get all that money from other ventures that provide them income, or is it all capital which is finite from investors who ultimately want to be paid back?
English
@Srirachachau to put in household budget terms vs how much money openai has, this is like if you spent one seventh of one cent every day on your dream passion project
