@R_R_cool @NathanJRobinson As a center left democrat, I’d probably vote for Rubio over El-Sayed. Populism is that awful.
English
If Abdul El-Sayed beats Stevens I actually think he's very likely to be the next president. I suspect he'll trounce the Republican. His criticisms of Dem elites will appeal to those who liked Bernie & Trump. And if he wins MI he'll silence centrists & be ideal Dem 2028 contender.
English
@NathanJRobinson @R_R_cool he would have to immediately pivot to running for president only a couple of months after winning the november election. it would be justifiably criticized. i agree though that he would be a great candidate

@RachelAzzara @daveweigel sunrise movement is not dark money, don’t be disingenuous
English
@daveweigel You all can’t have it both ways. 501c4’s are, in fact, dark money. Just as dark as any other one you flag as nefarious.
English
New ad in #MI07, from "Crush MAGA PAC," attacks Bernie-endorsed Will Lawrence for "running a dark money organization" (Sunrise Movement), investing in "Wall Street, big oil, and data centers" (his mutual fund), and campaigning "against Democrats" (voting uncommitted in 2024 primary).

ICE killed a father of three on his way to work yesterday
English
Two takeaways from tonight’s Michigan debate:
- Both candidates did well. If you had a favorite going in, you probably thought they won.
- Stevens’ aggressiveness stood out, repeatedly pressing El-Sayed on electability and tax returns, making him seem more measured in contrast.

@ostonox i’m genuinely saying this yes lol. the argentina defender got the ball before making contact with salah, so not a foul. for egypt’s overturned goal, even though it was on the other side of the pitch, it was only 20 secs between the foul and the goal and was one continuous play.
English
@Pos3id0nRee @mehdirhasan Argentina defender got the ball first before making contact with Salah, that is not a foul. Martinez lost the ball because of the contact, which is a foul.
English
@mehdirhasan I just dont get how the foul on salah wasnt the equivalent on the foul which reversed egypt’s goal

To the Dems who see DSA as the worst thing in the world: this is what happens when you don’t have a real organization to mediate people’s rage and anger into something sustainable and productive. You don’t known how good you have it that they’re taking charge now.

Naomi Osaka after a reporter told her there are perks for qualifying in the QF and winning the Wimbledon 😭

@conductorjon @admcrlsn “screwed by the hasan nonsense” is a funny way to refer to a total own goal by her campaign lol
English
@admcrlsn whole thing is a fucking shame. she would have been a great GE candidate, and a great senator, but got screwed by the whole Hasan piker nonsense. if things hadn't been so nuts he'd have been a far better GE candidate than either el-sayed or stevens.

I’ve gotten to know Mallory a bit over the course of this campaign, and she is an extremely principled and thoughtful person, not to mention an extremely talented legislator.
She entered the race with a huge name ID deficit, and yet scored tons of endorsements and raised a ton in small dollar contributions.
It is very difficult running a campaign — especially in this environment — that seeks to thread the needle between two increasingly diverging wings of the party. She and her team should be proud of the race they ran.
Mallory has a very bright future in Michigan politics, and I have no doubt we have not seen the last of her at the statewide level.

@vinaykillawala young for long-term signings, but old for vet minimums. it’s not contradictory at all
English
all three of the suggested names are neither young nor even in range of their athletic primes which is like the opposite of all the moves theyve made so far
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The Lakers will now focus on finding Walker Kessler's backup on the market -- with centers such as Andre Drummond, Jonas Valanciunas and Kevon Looney among those being considered, sources said. The Wizards took a patient approach to the start of free agency and now land a durable, reliable center to join Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr in the frontcourt.
English
@jameis1of1 @TrevorLane $6m for Hayes would’ve been too much tbh, let’s just get a vet minimum center like Drummond
English
@TrevorLane And let Jaxson Hayes leave for Utah.
Pelinka is horrible at his job.
Luka should be furious.
English
Wow, so much for the Kessler-Ayton center pairing
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Just in: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards for Jaden Hardy and two Wizards second-round picks in 2031 and 2032, sources tell ESPN.
English
@NBAGeneralist_ let’s be real these will be player options lmao
English
if the Lakers do option 1, my ideal outcome is:
Ziaire Williams 2/10M TO 2nd year
Thybulle 2/10M with the 2nd year partially guaranteed based on games played.
i know Kuminga is the big name but Williams and Thybulle fill our F depth and get us the POA we desperately need.
🅿️erSources CEO@pelinkaburner
Couple scenarios: 1. Stretch Vando, dump Dalton. Can get Kuminga ~$10mil 2. Dump LaRavia / Dalton. No dead cap for 5 years of Vando. Can get Kuminga ~$8.8mil
English
@bray_lo23 @pelinkaburner I’d rather go with option 1 and bet on LaRavia bouncing back this season. He at least has history of being a good 3PT shooter…
English
@pelinkaburner I prefer option 2. We will need some of vando’s defense in the regular season. Laravia and Knecht are completely useless.

Was better with Atlanta, still a ton of untapped potential and insane athleticism Wonder how they’d get it done though? Maybe stretching Vando + dumping Dalton? Maybe a S/T somehow

AOC has spent her career taking on the powerful on behalf of everyday people, and she has shown all of us what courageous, smart, values-driven leadership looks like. I'm deeply honored to earn her endorsement. Onward to victory.

@LanaGol69112781 @onlypeluayo daemon literally handed her the sword lol

@onlypeluayo No 😂
Even the guards mocked her and Daemon gave her a wtf are you doing look when she pulled that sword out.

This scene was pretty hilarious. Can Rhaenyra actually use a sword? 😂

@AustinThreeves The second apron didn’t exist until 2023. That is obviously a new factor that might deter teams from keeping their RFAs.
