Selling Sneak King as a full Xbox 360 game for just $3.99 alongside a Whopper and fries is a level of 2006 corporate chaos we will never see again.

WOW - Troy Jackson is every bit the dirtbag we thought he was. Imagine trying to take advantage of an old lady like this for a campaign ad… And not thinking it would come back to bite you.
A Maine woman claims a videographer told her she would be appearing in an ad for Sen. Susan Collins... She was shocked when the ad came out, and it was for Troy Jackson. "If they're willing to mislead me, how far will they go."

Totally false, Steve. USAID is not funding anything. It’s closing out contracts & shuttering the agency.
BANNON: We haven’t cut off USAID. Don’t let anybody believe we’ve done that. They’re still pouring money all over the country. OMB, @russvought, we love you, brother. Where are my rescissions on USAID? If Congress doesn’t have enough balls to do it, how come OMB doesn’t have enough balls to do it? We’ve got to get serious about this. We’re not serious.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Russ Vought responded that USAID is not funding anything and is closing out contracts while shuttering the agency. The Trump administration has terminated most USAID programs with staff sharply reduced and remaining functions moved to the State Department. justthenews.com/government/fed… gao.gov/products/gao-2…

There’s a huge election happening right now in my former state of Georgia—the AG position. It’s absolutely essential with the rampant crime in and around Atlanta. We can’t keep letting Atlanta crime spread! It’s ugly. I’ve seen it, up close and personally. The candidates are Republican Brian Strickland vs. Democrat Tanya Miller. Tanya Miller is a Democratic state representative, attorney, and former prosecutor with a focus on homicide and sex-crime cases. She has represented Georgia House District 62 since January 2023 and serves as chair of the House Democratic Caucus. She’s not the one! Brian Strickland has highlighted endorsements from more than 100 elected law enforcement officials! She voted NO on the Laken Riley Act. She ran DuBose Miller, a private criminal-defense firm, while serving as a part-time prosecutor for the Fulton County Solicitor. As a Fulton prosecutor, her private firm took serious felony clients from the county. The dual role is not disclosed in her campaign materials. In April 2022, she said police “enjoy a lot of deferential treatment in our justice system,” and that she favors marijuana legalization. In March 2023, she called bills restricting surgeries on minors “ill-informed and grossly uneducated,” and compared those surgeries to cancer treatment. In April 2022, she called Ketanji Brown Jackson “the most accomplished jurist on the Supreme Court.” In August 2024 she said, “I certainly am a big fan of Joe Biden, the president — Uncle Joe — as we call him in our family. She is not the answer for crime-ridden Atlanta. Not even close. Vote Brian Strickland! Please share.

Call it Transmission without representation … ⚡
The Senate permitting bill would let FERC bureaucrats run power lines through your state over local objections. And a future Dem White House could stick red-state ratepayers with blue states' net-zero tab.
Tea Party, anyone?

If someone like *Chris Murphy* - who has the constitutional understanding of an 8th grade civics student who skips most classes - calls to “regulate the internet”- you have realize that he ACTUALLY means *democrats have to take more control of.*
Democrats want to imprison their political enemies to deter young conservatives. They also want to regulate social media so people are less likely to support candidates they don’t like. Chris Murphy: "Regulating the internet…should be an important government project." "if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bullsht demagogue like Donald Trump." From the so-called “anti-authoritarian” party.

Troy Jackson lied tonight about his role leading a PAC and his connections to special interests groups. Insanely stupid of him considering the Washington Post already fact checked him on it last month
Troy Jackson, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, has campaigned with a focus on rejecting corporate PAC money. But as recently as two years ago, he previously led a PAC that accepted corporate donations, a Post analysis found. wapo.st/4yZK30C

Gaslighting, indeed. His "analysis" is bullshit.
Who on the American right argues a moral obligation to support Israel based on the Holocaust? They argue strategic utility, technological prowess, and common enemies. Then comes this gaslighting.

Justly called a straw man. When you have to do bankshots off straw men to make all your points, you have things to rethink. The salient point is not whom on the right he may be referencing; it's the choice to feature the straw man. Would really have liked to see better than this from the Americans.

You know what would’ve been cool? Having one of the NatCon speakers explain what antisemitism actually is, in real life, rather than condemning what they call overzealous accusations of it. That would’ve been useful and clarifying.
Americans, on the right especially, are exhausted by efforts to use the Holocaust as a moral obligation to support Israel. They are unmoved by accusations of anti-Semitism and any hardline approaches to disavow and shame Israel's critics. — @L0m3z at NatCon Jerusalem.

I know. Some I would have never suspected. This is sad. They could have been better. Now they are worthless.

What if this were your loved one? Cecily Sherlock’s family says her cognitive decline was severe enough by 2010 that she could no longer make an informed voting decision. Yet records showed voting activity in her name—including in 2020. Who requested the ballot? Who assisted her? Did it reflect Cecily’s choice? Every voter deserves protection from coercion, exploitation and abuse.
