When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

We are only a few months from a certain former Mayor of Atlanta getting this treatment, inshallah.

A thing I would kill to read tomorrow:

Analysis as to whether tonight's results in Texas may have partially revived hopes that the GOP dummymandered the maps.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

With Dallas early vote now in, Crockett's path to victory looks gone. She needed 80%+ of the vote there to make up for Talarico running up margins in Austin, San Antonio, and the rural + western counties. Only got 60%.

Kirby and Asa Newell in the building. UGA with all the momentum and the lead.

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

Pic of a person smoking a cigarette while holding a toddler who also has a cigarette between his fingers captioned when you light up, so do they. Now you both look cool as fuck.

Me, to my wife:

Well, it was the last promo white label 1959 mono pressing of Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" available on eBay.

So if I didn't buy it for $3K, then somebody else was gonna buy it, and then I wouldn't have it, so I had to buy it.

It was self defense. So I didn't need your approval.

The New York Times clearly just saying Crockett is a progressive and Talarico is a moderate because Crockett is black and Talarico is white

Opinion | How to Think About Trump’s War With Iran Ending the Islamic Republic’s regime will be long and arduous, but perhaps a softer version will emerge.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“The Iranian people are among the most naturally pro-Western in the region. If that impulse is allowed to surface and spread,” our columnist Tom Friedman writes, “we have the possibility for a much more inclusive Middle East.”

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

This is a beautiful portrait from the inimitable @ricksteves.bsky.social of the people who are suffering in Iran, both under its theocracy and from our nation's warmongering.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.
