As soon as I saw that he had a history with some kind of nudism movement, I knew this guy was gonna get sorted into the bucket of "generic weirdo with inscrutable motivations" by the media, even though there's a very obvious throughline of reactionary politics in his online presence. After January 6th there were a lot of takes online that basically amounted to, "It was never that serious of a coup attempt because a serious coup attempt would not have a guy dressed like the Q-Anon shaman there." I think this is the same basic thought process at work here.

Because of how gerrymandered Wisconsin is, this is the complete list of competitive state legislature races. And apparently Biden +27 counts as competitive.

I suppose I shouldn't be naive enough to think that my brain works the same way as the median swing state voter, but really, even supposing hypothetically that Fetterman is actually not healthy enough to serve, it still shouldn't effect your vote at all. Shapiro is definitely going to win if Fetterman wins. If you support Fetterman's policies more than Oz's, Shapiro will appoint a new Senator if he has to and whoever he picks will be closer to Fetterman than Oz. There's no reason to vote for Oz if you didn't already like Oz!

Yeah, I guess we'll see, but I'm kind of inclined to think that debates don't really move the needle that much these days. Trump just outright skipped one in the 2016 primary and nobody gave a shit.

Will happily eat crow if everything goes off without a hitch, but you combine reports like this with the videos of guys staking out drop off boxes in Arizona and I'm less convinced right now than I'd like to be that election day workers are going to be able to do their jobs correctly and safely across the country.

Assuming the design of the Cybertruck is mostly Musk's brainchild, I think that's going to prove to be a pretty bad business decision. Still not getting produced at all yet, while F-150 Lightnings are going out to customers, and it's not really clear how much mass appeal it's going to have when it finally does it rolled out. If it was the only EV game in town, you can imagine some normies considering rolling the dice on it, but if there's gonna be hundreds of thousands of F-150 EVs on the road by the time one Cybertruck rolls off the lot, and there's good word of mouth about reliability it's hard to imagine a guy who's bought conventional pick-ups his whole life saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna take a chance on this Playstation 1 Blade Runner thing"

DeSantis creates voter suppression gestapo
Ricofoley replied to Jason's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Remember when the Supreme Court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act in Shelby v. Holder and John Roberts' reasoning was basically, "Racism ended 40 years ago so this doesn't matter anymore"? -

Larry Summers believes "quiet quitting" is a real phenomenon and that we have to induce a recession because of it. Good lord. -
It's conceivable that Democrats could lose the governorship in Oregon because of a spoiler candidate, but gain the governorship of Oklahoma.

I'd assumed this happened like 5 years ago -

Isn't this completely inaccurate to what the Fed's job is supposed to be in writing? Isn't the idea that they have a dual mandate of controlling inflation and keeping unemployment low, and they're supposed to be equally weighted? aka neither one is "job-one"?
