I do think the idea that Obama ran as a centrist in 2008 overstates things. He wasn't a wild-eyed radical, but the whole premise of his campaign, particularly the primary was we needed to go beyond Clintonian centrist triangulation.

There are people trying to sell Hasan as this bold new face to lead the Democratic party into the future, but here he is just using the same rhetoric liberals used in 2015 that drove people away from the party en masse. This guy has nothing good to offer.

I’ve been saying for awhile that AI capex will be a 2% tailwind to GDP growth this year. In fact, according to a new report from Morgan Stanley, the numbers are even stronger — more like 2.5% this year and over 3% next year. And this understates the impact of AI for two reasons: (1) This is just investment by 5 hyperscalers; it doesn’t include all the startups and other companies investing in AI. (2) Capex is the investment to create the token factories; it doesn’t count the economic activity resulting from what happens inside the token factories. Those tokens are now being used to generate code (bespoke software) that will increase productivity throughout the economy. The ROI on capex is likely to dwarf the capex itself, which is why investment continues to grow. In Q1, AI was already 75% of GDP growth. That trend is likely to continue. Technology leadership has always been America’s great strength, and it’s driving the economy forward. Polls may show that AI is not popular, but economic growth is. At this point, stopping progress in AI would be equivalent to halting the U.S. economy.

London journalist Karl Marx writes to his colleague Friedrich Engels: "Lincoln's assassination was the most stupid act they could have committed. Johnson is stern, inflexible, and revengeful and as a former poor white has a deadly hatred of the oligarchy."

Because of Brian Kemp, a deep RED state like Georgia had zero effective representation in the Senate since 2021. Just think about that.

BREAKING NEWS 🆘The daughter of U.S. Republican Senator Jay Block: 🆘 "Israel pays money to my father, and he spreads propaganda. I am deeply ashamed of this situation. I believe my father has sold his soul to the devil. I hope his career ends!"

Israel was literally created by the far right

I keep being confused about what supposed imperialist wars Democrats have started in recent years. The left keeps saying it's a thing, but with no basis.

As someone from Georgia, let me explain: We have 2 blue senators. A Republican Governor. And near a super majority of Republicans in the house and senate. Why? Georgia is a red state. But MAGA politicians do VERY poorly. Brain Kemp is seen as an “anti-Trump” Republican. That’s why in 2022, Abrahms lost by near double digits but Warnock won his runoff against the football player with CTE. I personally know multiple people who split their vote, Brian Kemp for Gov, Warnock for Senate. If Bottoms is the nominee, in this climate, she will have a serious chance, but it will depend on who the GOP nominee is.

Replace all four. Who you got?
