a better idea for a blitz primary: ➡️ all potential candidates are drugged, pass out, and wake in a classroom on a remote island ➡️ each is randomly assigned a weapon and sent out one by one ➡️ every hour, a zone of the island is forbidden; staying there is fatal ➡️ last one standing is the nominee

I thought that what these professors did was vile, but it did not cross my mind that they were not just my personal cross to bear, a series of deeply unpleasant situations that I had to navigate. There was no name for this. There was no understanding of it as a systemic problem.

In the same way that incidents of antisemitism were weaponized to kneecap college administrators over other issues (like DEI), you get the feeling that Calif/Silicon Valley threats to withhold donations unless Biden withdraws are also more about seizing an opportunity to redirect the Dem platform.

This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects. www.law360.com/securities/a...

It is actually not great when wealthy elites try to have this much influence on the nominee, whether or not you think Biden is fit to serve.

Many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to pressure President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and help lay the groundwork for an alternate candidate.

We used to live around the block from Elizabeth Warren, and I personally witnessed her giving out full-size candy bars on Halloween, I’m just saying

My wife and I ran into her and her husband when our daughter was a newborn, and she was really touched when my wife told her how she was glad to have a role model for our daughter representing us. My wife came away from the interaction an even bigger fan.
