Editorial Board @dissentmag. Think I started trend of labeling modern US Right as “revanchist.” Charming in person, but we’re not there. Also NBA/Warriors.

This is just Joe McCarthy redux, mixed with Islamophobia.
El-Sayed has NO proven links to the Muslim Brotherhood. NOT ONE. And he has denied he does and has condemned the group.
El-Sayed has family members with apparent connections to the group
In other words, people are lying

As I followed pro-El-Sayed Jewish canvasses, I found evidence that Rogers’s ethnic divide-and-conquer strategy was working with at least some Jews. Some expressed outright fear, with one saying that “if Abdul wins, there’s going to be another Holocaust.” jewishcurrents.org/in-michig…
Hes a sociopath, which makes him symptomatic of systemic rot, but also, in his position, causal of its acceleration. He enables brutality.
And, goaded by his malign wingman, if he doesn’t start an idiotically splendid little war vs Iran, it’s just another midterm. Still might be

AP: Trump administration files lawsuit to block possible Democratic win in Alaska Senate race
The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit to block certification of the Senate race in Alaska if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses the contest while another candidate with the same name is on the ballot, kicking off what many have feared could become a lengthy battle between the U.S. government and states over certifying an election where the president’s party is struggling.

Having failed to start a war with Iran, Netsnyahu, 4 days before the elections hopes to spark the 3rd Intifada with aggressive collective punishment in Hebron.
He also seems hell-bent on dispelling any doubt that he is indeed a war criminal.
#2 is a great point.
Obama rallying in Portland would matter most for the voters Jackson needs—pmc libs.
Why isn’t Obama scheduled to do this?
1. It's herding season
2. There's arguably no race that needs an Obama campaign stop more than the Maine Senate contest

Ah, perfect:
Maine voters who want Dems to control senate/yet support Collins—just the way Dems not supporting AES in MI *really* want Dems to control the senate, too, ie, 🤞🤞🤞it all works out!
Fox News' final poll of Maine's Senate race finds a 49/49 tie between Collins and Jackson among likely voters.
(Jackson 50/48 among registered voters.)
The same likely voter sample says they want Dems to run the Senate by a 53/45 margin. static.foxnews.com/foxnews.c…

Q: Amy Acton's mother has not cared for her in about 50 years after her step dad was indicted for raping her. Why should anymore listen to what the mother says?
TRUMP: Well, I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton. I think you have to take that seriously.
Very shrewd move for her. “Iowa nice” is a real thing (I recall a stranger just cleaning off the windshield of my car after a snow storm in NE Iowa—“ya looked snowed in, though I’d help.”)
It’s the “right” thing to do, of course. But she wants to win.

Ashley Hinson calls on Vivek Ramaswamy to take down Acton ad in interview with ABC News.
She also called JD Vance's comments "ridiculous" when he defended the ad.
Way to do this: aggregators maintain certain standards re methodological rigor and best practices. And then only post polls who meet those standards. Just axe the rest!
Polling is a professional guild—monitor and police it as such.
Wrote a little something on the Wedgewood Polls scandal for @unherd. The aggregators need to step up (like @50plus1news did).

Wrote this take before their Wednesday debate - El-Sayed's using some Obama 2008 tactics to respond to Republicans, but Republicans don't campaign like John McCain anymore. No fear whatsoever of calling him a "jihadist" and terror candidate semafor.com/article/10/21/20…
The mom who claims that her daughter has “lied her entire life” hasn’t *seen or spoken to that daughter since the daughter was 12*—when mom *lost custody* and fled with the stepfather indicted for *raping* his daughter.
*48 years ago.*
Solid source on the daughter’s “lies.”

The Hill: Steve Kornacki sees tide "working against" Democrat in Minnesota Senate race
Steve Kornacki, NBC News’s chief data analyst, on Wednesday morning said there is growing indication that Minnesota’s tight Senate race could swing in the GOP’s favor in the November election.
“There does seem to be a tide within the state that’s working against Democrats,” Kornacki said on the “Today” show.

A fascinating interview with Rezaee from @DropSiteNews. He lays out Iran's position and strategy in clear language.
-The goal is not to survive to the end of Trump's term, but to restore deference by inflicting costs.
-Iran remains open to a deal based on the MOU from June, which was incorrectly implemented.
-Iran is ready for war and will retaliate--civilian infrastructure could be a target (though Rezaee is a bit more conditional here than in other recent interviews).
⚡️ EXCLUSIVE: Iran could expand its targets to include data centers, AI facilities and communications cables if the U.S. resumes attacks, Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, Iran’s top security official, told Drop Site News.
Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and personal representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, spoke to Drop Site in an exclusive written interview.
“If the question is whether Iran still has the ability to continue missile and drone operations, the answer is yes,” Rezaei said.
“The United States has valuable assets in the region. In the event of war, cables, data centers and artificial intelligence facilities could also come within range. If the conflict begins again, we will have a broader plan.”

It’s fun, but kind of bad sign for the Warriors that this start looks like the same old same old: backdoor and split cuts, Dray as playmaker—and Steph scoring.
It’s a great interview for sure. Kerr is just the most interesting person, if not in the world, certainly, in the NBA. De
I do wish somebody would ask him about the new book about the life, career, and assasination of his father, Malcolm Kerr:
