I take my kiddo to school right down the street from where the Eaton Fire started, and a few of his classmates lost their homes. I have nowhere near the amount of skin in this as those classmates' families do, but … No. F–– off with this, it's ghoulish.

BlackRock fund limits withdrawals as redemptions rattle private credit BlackRock said on Friday it has limited withdrawals from a flagship debt fund ​after a surge in redemption requests, as investor worries mount around the $2 trillion private credit industry.

Blackrock is straight up refusing to let investors withdraw their money

They’re going to crash the housing market and give themselves another bailout

this is totally based on my own understanding of the situation but I believe two things to be true:

1. bill clinton did awful things to women

but

2. he didn't do them with jeffrey epstein.

Is there a way to opt out of this Gemini bullshit that I’m getting emails about? I know I can delete Google and Gmail, etc. but I’m not quite there yet so if that’s the only option… I guess I’m there.

what i think is going on w/ graham platner fwiw: a certain cohort of D pundits & self-appointed leaders, disproportionately male and gentile, have decided that in order to appeal to low-trust men (whose votes they seem to think count more) it's necessary to allow a little antisemitism, as a treat

Folks, only 21% of people support this war, you don’t have to try and get moderates or conservatives, You could just…not.

Bernie praises Talarico's campaign

"I think he stands an excellent chance to become next senator from Texas. I have always believed that Texas has the potential to be a progressive state."

Says he'll campaign for Talarico if asked.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

Texas is first big primary of the midterms. Here’s when election results will come in The road to the Senate majority runs through the Rio Grande β€” with a detour through late-night TV. Eric Garcia breaks down the good, the bad and the ugly in the Lone Star State

We are seeing the best possible outcome that Democrats could want: Talarico gets a clean win and gets a six-week head start while Paxton and Cornyn cut each other up for two weeks.
