@DanielHagerOn3 I agree, but our bats have been cold in so many series this year it's hard to be super optimistic. Still rooting, still watching, still have my season tickets -- but it's hard to watch these types of games.

Reminder that Kentucky won this game in 2024.

What is the biggest threat to Earth?

@ViaDemocritus @USA_Polling No but DailyCaller found 80% of them donate to his opponent.

@USA_Polling I can’t believe it’s even that high? Do they let Dems vote in the primary?

Kentucky - 4th GOP House Polling:
Massie: 47%*
Gallrein: 37% - (Endorsed By Trump)

@_LeadPoisoning_ @USA_Polling You find it really hard to believe that a guy who has $20 million in attack ads against him has a tough race?!
English
@USA_Polling I find it really, really hard to believe that Massie is only up 10 points...

Appreciate all the kind words tonight. You guys are the best, and I truly appreciate all your support over the years. God is good, and sometimes things happen the way they are supposed to happen. I hope to see you around soon! Until then, ✌🏻 #BBN

@SeanRossSapp @AndrewBaydala Feels like TNA overreacted and are trying to shoot themselves in the foot.
AEW/ROH is the biggest provider of known talent to indie shows that can pay per appearance. This policy is pitting TNA against their own wrestlers and taking money out of their pockets.
English
@AndrewBaydala That's not the issue. It's facing AEW specifically. TNA doesn't pay talent enough to keep them from indies.
English
It's not a good look, but it's something WWE has done for a LONG time.
They do not, for the most part, allow their contracted talent to work independent shows.
I believe #TNA is being told to adhere to the same thing.

@DocLanceP @_AustinHorn @NateSilver538 Ugh. That is not good I would have thought 1300-1500 for that district. Even knowing primary turnout can be super low making high propensity harder to target.

New: First independent poll of the KY-04 GOP primary has Massie up ~10, but short of a majority, against Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein.
Quantus Insights pegged the race at: Massie 47.4%, Gallrein 36.8%.
They're rated a "B/C" pollster by @NateSilver538

@DocLanceP @_AustinHorn @NateSilver538 Wish I could see methodology.
Even a B/C pollster shouldn’t break a 4-5% MoE without a stupidly flawed methodology.
Safe to say it’s a solid lead but certainly not an insurmountable gap.
The only person winning on Ed’s side are the guys getting points on media buys.
English
@_AustinHorn @NateSilver538 B/C pollster is hard to get behind.
With that said, I do think the result is credible.
I (and the Massie camp) do not expect this to be a blowout given the financial & political resources thrown against him (despite Ed being a bad candidate). I will gladly take a win by 1 vote.
English
@DocLanceP The establishment wing of the party is giddy that if this loser somehow gets across the line, they don't have to do much to take this seat away from a rotting sack of potatoes.

The Not So Special Ed campaign:
Avoid any debate
Get other Trump sycophants to stage meet & greets for him:
-Do a show and tell with various military awards and --misuse SEAL iconography
-Pretend he runs Gallrein Farms, rather than a small horse boarding operation
-Talk about what a good guy Trump is
-Promise he will not do any thinking for himself
Let Lacivita handle the dirty money and smear ads
Do rambling (all that to say) radio puff pieces about any topic but his ideas, so he can avoid talking about ANY free thinking policy proposals
Hope Trump adjacency, journalistic laziness in not covering his bad reputation & leaving the party, and billionaire smear ads are enough to hoist his warm body, limp campaign up over the fence.

🚩 Ed Gallrein's campaign tried to stop a person from recording the speech he was giving at a Dairy Queen. 🚩 Thomas Massie's opponent and candidate for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, Ed Gallrein, apparently doesn't want people to see the speeches he gives in public places. The campaign has since reached out to the person recording and apologized for trying to stop him. What kind of campaign doesn't want as many people as possible to see their speeches? This wasn't a private event—it was held at a Dairy Queen. The whole purpose of these events is to get as many people as possible to hear what you have to say... or at least I thought so. When you couple this with Gallrein's refusal to participate in any debate or forum with Massie, it should leave voters asking why his campaign is doing the bare minimum to even appear like it's campaigning. Generally, campaigns aren't supposed to be this subtle. I have actually heard a Gallrein speech myself, and I do know why they're doing it. Let's just say "coherent" and "sound policy" are not the words that come to mind. Video Credit: David Wright

@DocLanceP @_AustinHorn Not sure if it was the campaign manager, but whoever tanked Morris in NKY by having him get involved in CD-4 deserves applause.
Has made him completely irrelevant in this race.
English
@_AustinHorn He was not the Barr former campaign manager until they recently fired him, right?
"parted ways" with its campaign manager last week... making him former campaign manager.
It will be nice when campaigns are about convincing voters to vote for you rather than Trump to endorse.
English
New: Andy Barr's campaign "parted ways" with its former campaign manager last week, days after old social media posts criticizing Trump (“loser,” a “stain on our party," etc) were surfaced by conservative media.
That & more in this week's insider.

When I was building spacecraft, one of our engineers would stand behind us while we were laying wire harnesses and read from the Bible.
We would sometimes pray before a large operation. He brought his Bible into the cleanroom and privately prayed over a vehicle before we sent it into test.
I'm pretty sure he prayed over the Orion that is being flown on Artemis II as well. The Orion team was just as religious, if not more religious, than we were.
We are "the science" and we're glad Astronaut Glover is as faithful as us.

@ghostinthecable Finally, I have somewhere to go if I want Plasma on an Ubuntu base if KDE neon gets dropped.
English
@TristanUda I disagree. The Blue Bloods have the highest standards and the most pressure; you need the right candidate to want to walk into that situation - not "any" candidate.
People getting paid and not wanting it doesn't change the prestige; it shows the height of the bar.
English
The UK & UNC job openings show that Blue Bloods don't have the allure they once did.
Yes, those programs still carry prestige and history, but the gap between them and the rest of CBB is much smaller. With that smaller gap, fewer coaches want to take on that added pressure.

Regularly, @RepThomasMassie makes himself available for news-media interviews. His challenger, Ed Gallrein, refused to be interviewed by the district’s largest news organization for its major story on their primary race. One wonders why.

@SeanRossSapp @FightfulSelect Watched some JCW a few months ago after seeing it on a cagematch listing for somebody (maybe OVW talent?), and it wasn't world-shattering, but I've definitely seen worse.
