This story is a national security scandal eleventy billion times worse than whatever you thought Hillary was keeping on her email server with an added layer of corruption since Trump owns stock in NVIDIA and Jensen is a massive GOP donor. Hope this helps!
Trump says he spoke to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang today: “I did speak to him today just to see if he’s feeling all right,” Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room. “’How you doing?’ And I asked him about that, and he said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy. I asked him that question. ‘Did you have any idea that she was a spy?’ Said, ‘I had no idea that she was a spy,’ and I really believe him.”

I have a theory about the ghouls posting vicious things about Biden right now: they're Ivy League snobs who never got over the lowly Biden (Scranton, U Delaware) stepping out of his 'place' to be president.

This should leave no doubt that Hakeem Jeffries will be the next Speaker. They’re not even entertaining the possibility of someone else.
These folks talked a big game about AIPAC, taking on the Democratic Party establishment and passing M4A. Now they’re basically saying, “Well, we just want good ideas.”
They sobered up real quick and now they’re at odds with what DSA supporters are demanding.
Welcome to the establishment!

San Francisco's Westside voters, who strongly opposed transforming the Great Highway into a park in 2024, have come around.
Most voters in the Richmond and the Sunset are against Prop. G, which would’ve turned Sunset Dunes back to a road on weekdays.

call me when DSA candidates start flipping seats in places like texas, north & south carolina, mississippi, etc.

Why is AI slop so frustrating to read?
AI writing often obscures main ideas and invents awkward phrases, making sentences more complex than necessary.
Many of these slop patterns violate writing principles established in English writing books.
In our benchmark, AI writing breaks these principles far more often than human writing, with Claude Code replies by far the worst offenders.
We show examples of the most common slop patterns in this thread

At a news conference Monday announcing the nine-figure commitment, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said, “I think with the rise of social media and the rise of us spending more time on devices, one of my concerns is people not spending enough time in the real world, with real people.” kron4.com/news/bay-area/airb…

Jon Favreau defended Graham Platner despite the Nazi tattoo and misogynistic posts, gave Hasan Piker a platform, helped push Biden out, and routinely attacks Democratic leadership.
And seems many have forgotten the photo of him grabbing Hillary Clinton’s cardboard breast.
Apparently, accountability is for everyone else as is inclusivity 🙄
Yeah, he blocked me so quote posting here for reasons: 👇🏼

Today, I stood with Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky to announce his $100 million gift to San Francisco’s parks. This is the largest single-donor gift to the city in San Francisco’s history, and will support the development of new parks, upgrades to existing spaces, expanded hours at recreation facilities, and much more.
An initial $39 million will help unlock five projects in neighborhoods across our city. SoMa, the Mission, Bayview-Hunters Point, Potrero Hill, and downtown will all see transformational projects finish sooner, bringing more welcoming public spaces to residents across San Francisco.
As Mayor, one of my top priorities is making San Francisco a city where families can put down roots and build their futures. Earlier this year, we launched our Family Opportunity Agenda—a citywide effort to bring down the cost of living and expand economic mobility for San Francisco families.
We're building more housing, protecting tenants, expanding access to affordable childcare, and keeping public transportation safe, reliable, and affordable. We're also investing in the public spaces families rely on every day.
Our parks are an essential part of what makes San Francisco such a special place to raise a family. Our recreation programs provide exceptional and affordable opportunities for San Francisco families. With this investment, we're bringing those opportunities to more neighborhoods across our city, expanding access to recreation, and making our parks even better for the families who use them.
San Francisco has created enormous opportunity for the people who have built their businesses here. And with that success comes a responsibility to give back to the city that helped make it possible. So, my ask to every leader who sees what Brian has done today is simple: help us create more opportunities for the people who call San Francisco home. Now is the time. Our city is coming back. Don’t just watch it from the sidelines. Be a part of it.

Real progressives are gazing at the Senate map and seeing that a world we could not have imagined might actually be possible.
We went from thinking, in 2024, that the Senate would be impossible, to, in 2026: "Um. . can we . . . flip it?"
Not only did we flip the Senate, we ate deep into red territory. Like really deep. In the House of Representatives, too. We literally broke through the gerrymander in North Carolina. Amazing stuff.
The last time we ate this far into GOP territory was 2006-2008. Then we got the ACA.
What could we get with 60 Senate seats and a Dem POTUS in 2029?
And what if. . . .over the next 5-10 years, we can flip SCOTUS?
We weren't prepared for 2010 backlash and the Tea Party. But what if this time it could be different? Especially if our new Governors-Elect + Trifecta deliver for their states? Especially if we are prepared to fight the backlash? Also, is it possible. . . .we could *sustain* power in the South?
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026 was history-making and the potential to be *world-changing*. If we strategize right, there could be incredible progress in the future.
So now is the time to be making friends. Also to be making wish lists. And to be planning.
Democrats should identify who wants to be in this history-making-potentially-world-changing fight versus who cares more about drama, power, and sabotage.
Act accordingly.

Talarico faced twice as much spending against him in a state that hadn’t elected a democrat to the senate in 40 years.
I think El-Sayed’s wins in both the primary and general were very impressive, but what we’re not going to do is say his wins matter more than Talarico’s.

This is what caused Morris Katz to absolutely crash out at @neeratanden . Dan Osborn was Morris (and then weird giggly creep, Dan Moraff's) "I'm a big burly worker populist guy" prototype. They 'created the Osborn brand.'
Osborn already lost once. This time, he lost even worse. In a blue wave year. It was a total failure of epic proportions.
Completely discrediting to The Morris Katz Theory of Elections.

What it shows me is how little reporters and pundits understand how the govt actually works. As @AOC summarized in her livestream the other day, the work of the speaker is largely behind the scenes. By definition the speaker must represent the median views of the caucus, and also develop deep ties in fundraising and recruitment channels to build robust majorities. It therefore takes years to mount a successful speaker bid and most successful people in this role are developing legislative strategies for many months before election day.
If you're looking for someone to be an attack dog on TV that's understandable but not really where the role of speaker is most effective.
Hakeem Jeffries is 56. He’s been minority leader for less than 4 years. He has broad support in his caucus and just led his party to the largest House majority in ~35 years despite gerrymandering, and yet the punditry is obsessed with whether he should step down.
Can you imagine a scenario in which this happens for Republicans? I cannot.

We love you always, Joe Biden 💙🥺
I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.
