@BriannaWu I don’t need to be lectured by you. I am a white American male and Christian. I know when things are wrong and this “war” is wrong. You are wrong to defend it.

I don’t really have a kind way to say this, but if you think it’s a genocide, it’s because you’re either very vulnerable to propaganda or you hate Jews.
This has been an utterly conventional war with the lowest civilian to combat casualty rate in modern warfare.
The fact that y’all have no smoke for the terrorists using human shields shows it’s actually about hating Jews.

I wish this was not true but it is

The White House looks like shit.. The East Wing has been bulldozed. The lawns looks like they were used for a Demolition Derby. The Kennedy Center is under a tarp. The Reflection Pond is disgusting and fenced off. Trump has turned the Capitol into a shithole.

I agree with your assessment of the current political moment. But don't you think that the GOP's unwavering support for a political moron abusing the highest office in the land played a considerable role in the rise of the far-left extremism?

Gotham has fallen. The mass exodus out of the New York will continue apace. I call it the Blue Exodus. Last night’s sweep of Marxist Socialist candidates will further destroy New York City. The virulent antisemitism in the Socialists’ campaigns is dangerous not only to Jews, but to every American. Because they are attacking the West. If they continue to win, the American Dream and Western Civilization will fall. Wake up.

@Bighugh53 Hugh you are one of favorite radio personalities! You are excellent at your job and are very entertaining!!!
But how does this post ad value to who you are? Is the N word necessary for public consumption? You are a leader in the community and kids are watching this

I think the fact that Mamdani has changed basically none of the Adams administration’s policies is a vindication of my take that the policies were pretty good!
I’m happy that progressives are now happy with the same policies.
Jesse Montgomery@muttgomery
interesting proposal from a guy who called his shot and supported Eric Adams

I don’t care what just happened recently……. Jalen Brunson IS NOT better than Trae Young as a player as a whole and for sure not as a PG!! And never has been. I stand on that. Not in high school, college or pros. Same draft, drafted higher…… Brunson had a better TEAM this year. But what have they done individually as players Trae has never been a #2 option. Brunson has. Brunson avg 19,5,3 for a career. Trae 25, 9, 5. Man yall better relax!! I love the Knicks won it all. Good for them but let’s not let recent history blind us. Trae is THAT GUY and yall try and act like he not. Have a great day ✌🏾

@sportsrapport @benjstrauss Looks like Shams wasn't willing to sleep with coaches.

Just remembered that @benjstrauss already reported that Dianna Russini made over $700k—in 2023. (See below.)
The entire NYT story going viral is rehash, content from big publicly available podcasts, quotes from Poynter, a mild text exchange, and people declining to comment
English
@dannyfunt @sportsrapport @benjstrauss It is still important that the NYT is at least trying to cover it. Where is ESPN in all of this? @espn @Tonysmarkettips
English
@sportsrapport @benjstrauss Couldn't agree more. Amazed that people are going crazy about anecdotes like Russini getting out a ticket by facetiming Vrabel, when she told that story on a podcast! Was really hoping NYT would add some inside perspective, but everyone declined to comment
English
@JaredStillman @sportsrapport @benjstrauss Yes. I was surprised it was as high as $800,000. Journalists do not get paid big bucks.
English
@sportsrapport @benjstrauss Am I the only person who was surprised $800,000 was it? I figured she was in the millions. If not, why wouldn’t ESPN have just matched the $800,000? Dianna was far better on TV and the multitude of ESPN platforms than a writer for The Athletic.

@Johnbot340536 @mattyglesias Yeah a minimum of 20,000 children alone is an unmitigated catastrophe.
English
I'd love to see less hysteria and accusations of anti-semitism and more normal journalistic inquiry into the substance of the left's Israel policy demands.
What does the Block The Bombs Act say? What will happen if it passes? I don't think this is well-understood at all.
English
@sportsrapport @SpikeEskin @benjstrauss I’m not sure that is correct. But even if it is, then the fact that a major news outlet (a national one, as @SpikeEskin points out) reports on it is important. You should follow @Tonysmarkettips Tony Farmer. He covers this better than the casuals.
English
@leftylucy1989 @mattyglesias That is a big range. With the bottom end of the range being absolutely fucking outrageous.
English
@Johnbot340536 @mattyglesias The absolute bare minimum estimates are 70,000 with some estimates going up to 600,000 or more.

Aaron Nola has now allowed 3 earned runs or less in 11 of his 16 starts this season.

@Smithy_Smithy @NateSilver538 Well, according to Nate the reflecting pool is a stupid story. And not sure if Nate knows where Gaza is, or that the President wants to steal another election during the midterms, using the Justice department to investigate his political enemies and won’t sign the housing bill.?
English
@NateSilver538 Nate taking a break from his soccer data nobody cares about to finally address the big political story of the month: Hunter Biden’s takes.
English
lol the irony of "authenticity is measurable" being the first item in this hackneyed af and presumably AI-generated list of cliches
Hunter Biden@HunterBiden
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

@Wilson__Valdez @NateSilver538 Nate doesn’t want his tweets to get suppressed
English
@NateSilver538 Nate, have you noticed anything about the current president, Donald Trump? Do you know that he is currently president?
English
@NateSilver538 If you read his replies to this tweet it is very clear that this is a smart man (Hunter) who writes very well and I doubt he is using AI to write his stuff. Weird accusation by Nate. @NateSilver538 Seems defensive.
