Susan Collins Is Getting More Money From AIPAC Than Small Donors As oysterman Graham Platner handily outraises Republican Susan Collins, the pro-Israel lobby collected nearly 20% of her donations for her.

Susan Collins raised more money from AIPAC donors last year than small donors.

When we asked her campaign spokesperson about it, he hung up.

You might think sports isn’t as important as other parts of the paper, but the WaPo covers sports like news — sports betting, political lobbying by leagues, accountability journalism even for local owners like Dan Snyder. No wonder the moneyed class didn’t like WaPo sports.

Chicago Traffic Tickets by Police District January 2023 - October 2025 The number of traffic tickets issued varies significantly by police district. Police in the 3rd District issued the fewest tickets during this period (290) while the 2nd District issued the most (7,983). [Map of Chicago annotated to point at the 7th district and its 749 tickets, the 3rd lowest in the city and relevant portions of text] A high number of traffic stops does not always lead to a high number of tickets. For example, Chicago's 7th District had the highest number of traffic stops citywide in 2024, yet this data shows District 7 as issuing a relatively low number of traffic tickets. This can indicate that many of the 7th District's traffic stops were pretextual traffic stops, where officers use the traffic violation to stop and search for criminal activity rather than address the alleged traffic violation.

NB: CPD 7th (highest # of stops, low tickets): where Cook State's Atty O'Neill Burke piloted CPD direct-filing felony gun charges despite (or, bc of?) high risk of pretextual stops

dril being here was what got me to pull the trigger on a full move from twitter to bsky lol

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

when i give wired dot com $40 i get access to so many journalists‘ work, when i give my favorite writer $40 i only get that one person’s work AND i can only do that for like one person a year. it sucks!!!!

Every day the mods on here:

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

This is what capitalism produces. This guy gets wealthy by saying shit like this.

So flourishing is a crime now

Right-wing media figures are furious at activists for using whistles during ICE activity Right-wing media figures are lashing out at community members in Minnesota for using whistles to alert others of federal immigration enforcement in the area, asserting that whistles should be “conside...

These guys two months ago: ha ha I hope there's a civil war we'll make those LIBERAL BITCHES cry for mercy

These guys now: waaaaaa they're using whistles it's not FAIR waaaaa

zoomer coworker told me to "keep on party rocking" and i feel condescended to in the way ww2 veterans must have felt when their grandkids told them about storming normandy in Medal of Honor on the PS2

LITERALLY STORMFRONT WAS OPENLY INVOLVED FROM THE FIRST MONTH and people acted like I was being hyperbolic and nagged me not to “godwins law”

Fanatics Makes More Excuses Than Sellable Jerseys | Defector Like its more tangible products, Fanatics’ apologies are shoddy and practically worthless, yet Michael Rubin’s sports apparel company keeps issuing them anyway. In this latest instance, Fanatics is…

Would Orson Welles want his lost classic restored by A.I.? You mean the same Orson Welles who, when Ted Turner was leading the charge to colorize black & white movies, famously proclaimed "don't let Ted Turner deface my movie with his crayons"? I think I can make an educated guess here.

I'm going to say again that I understand that people need a job to live but sometimes you really have to quit.

As an Eagle Scout, let me say this is an opportunity for Scouting America to stop having a partnership with the U.S. Military.

I’m sure America will also be taking action any second now. Probably an incident where so many prosecutors tried to get into a door at once they all got stuck in and someone had to go find a stick to dislodge them.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

It's crazy to me that other local prosecutors are working together to hold lawless immigration agents accountable, but not ours.

don't mean to blow anyone's mind with this shocking insight but the direct line between epstein, 4chan, gamergate, tech bro fascists etc is misogyny. prolific rapists, guys who believe women have inferior intelligence, and guys who hate women for rejecting them all have something big in common!

Where’s that post about how her wife is in the Epstein Files 17 times…?
