Fully 71% of registered voters "worry that officials won't accept the results of the election" this fall, according to a new Scripps News/Ipsos survey. Furthermore, 69% of voters "are concerned about foreign interference in the democratic process."

the thing is, they might win. and it won’t be the first time they won with bullshit. but it WILL be the first time they win with what they **openly admit** is bullshit. so yeah we’ll be fucked, but at least we’ll know where we stand

Everybody: ... Melania: WHY DOES EVERYBODY TALK ABOUT ME POSING NAKED!!?? Everybody: ... who are you talking to right now? Melania: HERE IS SOME NAKED ART. Everybody: okay. Melania: BUY MY BOOK! Everybody: Is it... is it a picture book? Melania: DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!

the big dream here is, “if we close schools we’ll have more money for other schools.” if they close schools the budget gets cut

a fine idea with key support, but notable is the absence of City Hall in the “years-long” planning process. As with the insular, c-suite-driven Sixers arena proposal, what’s missing is anything like a shared, publicly-guided vision for growth in Center City

this stuff is ridiculous. Defend the attack if you want but don’t insult our intelligence. Nobody knew where all those fkkn pagers were. Not for sure. It was exactly as “targeted” as dropping a bomb on a bad guy’s house at dinnertime, hoping he’s eating & risking his wife & kids

Americans struggle to understand the importance of the Senate. Senators do not

We’ve all seen a lot of campus protests. AIDS, South Africa, Central America, Occupy, BLM. I’ve never seen institutional America respond with such unity and force. And no I don’t mean “Jewish America.” Many Jewish Americans were at these protests. These rules apply to them too

so much to come about this. no way to know if the radio thing is true but the rumor alone is a sign of a terrorized community, or someone trying to take advantage of a terrorized community, or …. and anybody with a warehouse full of electronics they want to sell is effed

I think I know how Trump plans to boost his rally attendance

AP reporting more devices exploding: walkie-talkies, maybe solar panels

class solidarity? Nah

I've felt all along that this was the mayor's likely play; she ran & won on a good-jobs-to-home-ownership promise, in particular for people of color, and this promises that. I expect the "details" to include trade union apprenticeships and minority contractor guarantees

... & for the record: this could be a good idea if done well or a hulking disaster if done poorly. The insular and clearly c-suite driven planning process has been troubling; to float a design without a pedestrian plaza suggests an appalling level of cluelessness. We'll see

... the other thought I had: no mayor EVER wants to be the one who "loses" a sports team. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER. The build could be a huge mess, giant hole for 2026, Market East commuter nightmare, traffic jams for years - but it's not "she lost the Sixers"

their member surveys showed two-to-one support for Trump over Harris

if there's one rate that never goes down, it's the White Guy Confidence rate. I'm quite sure of that

among other factors: a lot comes down to **Jim Kenney abandoning the field.** If Kenney had stayed in the game and endorsed a successor, we might not have seen Rhynhart & Gym split the lib/prog vote, which IMO all but guaranteed a win for Parker & the political establishment

🧐 "The board plans to contract with an as-yet-unnamed communications consultant for 'community engagement and facilitation support,' and with another unnamed firm for 'facilities planning services.'"
