i’m sorry but, assuming Haley even wants Abdul to win….if you were nearly the Democratic nominee for Senate….and you cannot dissuade your finance from voting for the Republican nominee for Senate….you are objectively horrible at your job!

The NYT is so desperate to find an October surprise they bury the lede:
1) The staffer retracted her statement.
2) The staffer was a fired disgruntled employee.
3) They stuff this line in the article:
"Ballot-stacking tactics are common in politics and generally considered legal — and have been employed by both parties in Alaska."
SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

The butthurt handling of this primary defeat by Haley Stevens and now her fiance after they had tens of millions in outside money spent on her behalf is appalling. The next SecDef or a Trump SCOTUS judge is on the line here! Totally pathetic & reveals that the loss was deserved

nyt’s october surprises are feeling like the ny post grasping for straws
Operatives aligned with Alaska Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from her Republican rival. The group worked to coax would-be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent's support. nyti.ms/3U1qsP1
it’s INSANE how much better he is at this shit than EVERYONE!!!
Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."
lol at least Tim Miller lives in reality.
Tim Miller of The Bulwark suggests inflation from stimulus checks may be more at fault for Dems loss in 2024 than Gaza:
Tim: "Are you ready for a disagreement I'm not gonna paper over? The Biden stimulus was way too big and juiced inflation and did not help at all. So, oops."
Kyle Kulinski: "I mean, it was people's only lifeline. That's how people survived during COVID."
Tim: "Yeah but it lead to a lot of inflation that people really didn't like in the end. So, anyway..."

"Do you worry [Abdul El-Sayed] is a bit too left wing to win in Michigan?"
Michigan voter "At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell so at this point socialist, socialise, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living"
lmao the dsa is insane
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions tonight regarding Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, setting up processes to potentially force DSA's Los Angeles chapter to rescind its endorsement of her campaign and/or expel her from DSA.
Here are copies of the 2 resolutions that passed:

The MAGA meltdown over Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke is fucking hilarious. These people have spent a decade worshipping a man who insults literally everyone, but Obama makes ONE joke about Trump’s tacky, gold-plated dictator aesthetic and suddenly the blue-check brigade is clutching pearls and demanding civility.
Now they’re calling OBAMA an out-of-touch elitist while defending a billionaire who lives in a gold-plated fantasyland and shits in a gold toilet.
The selective outrage is embarrassing. And the complete lack of self-awareness should be studied by scientists.
For people who built their entire political identity around “fuck your feelings,” MAGA sure has a lot of fucking feelings. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Sorry Barrack Hussein @BarackObama,
Cheesecake Factory has good food and it’s a place Americans can afford.
We can’t all be like you and big Mike. You know, with private 5 star chefs who end up drowning and dying while naked in 2 feet of water at our Martha’s Vineyard mansions.
lmao we all know the implication here is to be hunted down right? riiiiight?
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

I think what’s interesting is that last night I saw more commentary about Obama saying the WH renovations were tacky than Trump admitting he doesn’t care about Americans struggling to pay for gas.
Michigan Dems need to shut this shit down NOW.
Detroit News: Former Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party is leading an effort to make sure Democrats leave their ballot blank for the US Senate race in Michigan.
Lon Johnson, the former chair, supported Rep. Haley Stephens over El-Sayed in the August Democratic primary.
