@RedStallion41 @NateSilver538 (2/x) over the last four years. Recent polling puts his favorability among PA democrats at 19% - and that's Democrats overall - among the kind of Democrats who vote in the primary, it's probably like 9%. He's not going to win that nomination, lol.

@RedStallion41 @NateSilver538 (1/x) Pennsylvania may be a moderate state overall, but the Democrat primary electorate is not. (a) Fetterman didn't run as a moderate; they thought that they were nominating a progressive in 2022 and (b) the party base nationwide has shifted considerably to the left, just ...

I mean, look, Fetterman's only opportunity to remain in the Senate past 2028 is if he switches parties or runs as an independent. He would get crushed in a D primary. Unlike Sinema, he's actually popular enough with Republicans that he could win a GOP primary.

@NateSilver538 (2/x) race overall. It seems like whichever party nominated the more moderate candidate would benefit in that scenario.

@NateSilver538 (1/x) Personally, I think that he has nearly zero chance to win the nomination of either major party. The only interesting scenario would be an independent run; not because he might win; he wouldn't. But it would still be fascinating to see what affect he'd have on the ...

@BostonSportsHb @NateSilver538 Yes, the best case for Republicans is that Fetterman tries to keep his seat as a democrat.

@NateSilver538 I hope Fetterman runs as (D). The party will go full-blown communist in the primary and give the GOP a shot at the seat (if they don’t also make a bad pick and blow it yet again).

@valuesauce @NateSilver538 You people are sick.

@NateSilver538 It’s almost like doing republican things and sucking Israeli dick causes you to be hated and then you gotta court only the worst fucking people instead

@RedStallion41 @NateSilver538 LOL You are delusional There is just 0% chance that he wins a democrat primary.

@NateSilver538 I doubt that's true, I don't think Pennsylvania Democrats are super far left, I think Fetterman speaks for the average Democrat in Pennsylvania on most issues, if the Jew hating socialists Primary him he would eat their lunch.

@DevWallace1 @RepMGS It's objectively healthier to have more sun in the morning; I haven't heard a single expert dispute that.

@RepMGS Permanent DST. More light when people are more active on the road means less accidents overall. Also, most people will have some daylight after work for outdoor activities.

Yesterday, I spoke on the House Floor about the dangers of enacting permanent daylight saving time and why my bill, the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, is the better solution.

@VernBuchanan It may be good for the economy, but it's objectively false (as I'm sure you know, but don't care) that it is good for health.

Permanent daylight saving time is beneficial for Americans' safety, economy, health and lifestyle. My Sunshine Protection Act passing the House yesterday will be critical to meeting this need. youtu.be/KZFzDViGC8Y?si…

@undefinedRealty @mtaibbi 'Words with well-establushed, long-standing definitions now mean this whole new thing that we just invented' is almost the perfect summation of the modern American left. Just go ahead and toss 'socialism' on the pile with 'man', 'woman', 'genocide', 'pedophilia', and 'fascism'.

@mtaibbi Socialism doesn’t have one definitive answer it’s a natural force against rising economic inequality and etc, it doesn’t mean it’s the same definition or way of use as a prior precedent

I lived in a socialist country and took Scientific Communism at a Soviet university. I worked in the Pravda building, for years. But I’m sure you know better

@courtneyknill There is objective, strong evidence that morning sun is more important to our health than evening sun, so there really is a right answer here.

the whole permanent daylight savings time vs permanent standard time debate just comes down to this morning people want more morning sun and prefer standard time night owls want more afternoon/evening sun and prefer daylight saving

@MattMarketFit @AllieTheEditor @unusual_whales Yeah, I researched it a bit and this new legislation includes the same carve out as the existing statute. So, hopefully, it won't pass.

@scott56920844 @AllieTheEditor @unusual_whales It seems to me, that if passed AZ would stay on standard time(MST). I don’t think AZ would opt to be on DST.

BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide

@AllieTheEditor @MattMarketFit @unusual_whales I haven't been able to figure out if this bill would force AZ onto DST or not. I work remotely with an East Coast team and hate the three hour difference. If this forces AZ onto DST, I'm all for it; otherwise against.

@MattMarketFit @unusual_whales Matt, AZ is on MST (Mountain Standard Time), not MDT (Mountain Daylight Time)... so this means that everyone else will now be on DT and AZ will still be on Standard Time

@unusual_whales If this becomes law would it effect Arizona which doesn't currently do DST at all?

@mtracey The one thing that's absolutely undebatable about all of this is that Graham Platner dated a lot of ugly women.

A new woman has "come forward" to allege that she once dated Graham Platner. Really — that's the full extent of what she is alleging. She's also a DC political consultant who'd have every reason to use this as a priceless opportunity to optimize her professional "growth strategy"

@JBthehawkeye @InfaWrest He has a 150+ folkstyle matches and is committed to ISU so I'm not really sure how he can 'mostly do freestyle'. After I posted that, I did remember seeing a couple of his US Open matches this year, so I guess this was the second time I've seen him do freestyle.

@scott56920844 @InfaWrest He mostly does freestyle btw

125KG FS | Coby Merrill 🇺🇸 over Pedro Fernandes De Morais 🇧🇷, 11-0 TF. 38 second techfall for Merrill who wins his first round match by technical superiority, after locking up a leg lace.

@InfaWrest Even by Pan Am standards, this seems like a ridiculous tournament.

65KG FS | Bo Bassett 🇺🇸 over Diyaal Johal 🇨🇦, 12-2 TF. After waiting for hours Bassett finally got on the mat at u20 Pan Ams, and showed his patented pace on his Canadian opponent to advance to the semis.

@ggreenwald (2/x) that they kill them altogether. So, unless you want to concede seat to Collins outright, you have to hope that he drops out.

@ggreenwald (1/x) As a general statement, that's not wrong of course, but it misses the point. No one is suggesting that he be thrown in jail over the accusations. The relevant question is: what effect will they have on his political chances? The obvious answer is ...

I know I'm old-fashioned this way, but I still think due process is the best way (ie: the only reliable way) to determine guilt and the truth of accusations. Online mobs and trial by media are infinitely more unreliable for all sorts of reasons that should be obvious.
