The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Just thinking about it at one crucial moment

He made his money at least, and went out his way.

Hard to say? I am not even sure the second option is a word. I think I probably just wanted to make it a little more unpleasant/odd to behold.

Yeah, it's mine, too.

Yeah it's good to have a fallback

Twilight Of The Thunder God | Defector It is not a problem that most people will ever have to worry about, but being nicknamed after a prominent Norse god is a pretty bad deal in the long term. When Noah Syndergaard broke in with the Mets ...

I wrote about Syndergaard back in 2023, the first time it was Very Obviously Over for him. It's not quite tragic, really, but just a reminder of how much of a difference a shitty workplace can make. defector.com/twilight-of-...

I have to assume that Noah Syndergaard getting released by the White Sox after getting torched in AAA means it is over-over. He is a RFK Jr.-brained raw meat dunce now but I feel bad for him all the same. Arms blow out, but the Wilpon-era Mets really did everything they could to fuck him up.

Depends on the guest

It’s very funny that the left wing is subject to constant internal and external hand-wringing about the Crisis of Masculinity and the right wing is full of guys panicking about how sex with your wife is gay and traveling makes you a woman

They should show MORTDECAI at the Sphere in Vegas

Guy: I invented a cereal that will help you not masturbate. It's called cornflakes

Me: That's so crazy. I also invented a breakfast cereal. Let's just say mine does the opposite thing

Incredible work here

Very strong points made here

I so appreciate your support of this post.

Wow!

Well as a US Senator, my job is twofold. Of course you have to do a lot of fundraising, campaigns are expensive. So there's a lot of that. And also sometimes I go on Benny Johnson's podcast and tell him that I'm too scared to drive into the city for a Cincinnati Reds game these days.

Very good thread, very much looking forward to this book: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/704686...

what was stephen miller doing when trump was out of office? he was receiving more money than any of us could ever dream of to create legal bills for the dems while living comfortably and not having to worry about health insurance

thats why there isnt a stephen miller of the left

Unbelievably small-time and wimpy shit here. Too afraid to go to a Reds game. Come on now.

The best thing about the Pirates scoring 16 runs and losing tonight isn't the Rockies major comeback, it's that they'll score 0-1 runs tomorrow when Skenes starts and also lose.

ADL Musk

I spoke with 40+ sources for a look inside the Anti-Defamation League. Here’s some of what I found.

ADL’s gentle response to Elon Musk’s infamous salute was partially driven by his support of Israel. To ADL, that indicated he didn’t have “antisemitic tendencies.” (1/x)
