Crazy that their whole strategy was appealing to moderate republicans and swing voters and maybe those people aren't too cool with voting for a black woman regardless of how much of a centrist she painted herself as
The incoming congresswoman is a close ally of President Joe Biden and has been credited with helping shape Biden’s view of LGBTQ issues. McBride entered Biden’s orbit in 2006, when she worked for the late Beau Biden’s attorney general campaign. Beau Biden was also a strong backer of the 2013 transgender protections legislation that McBride advocated for in Delaware.
Harris cannot lose Pennsylvania and reach 270 electoral votes. However, she can lose pieces of the blue wall — so named for its longtime reputation as a Democratic firewall — and still reach 270.
If she loses Michigan, she can make it up by winning Arizona and Nevada. She can lose Wisconsin and make up for it with Arizona.
On Monday, The Times Tech Guild, which represents more than 600 engineers, data managers, designers, software developers and tech personnel at the paper, announced they had gone on strike after failing to reach a new contract with the New York Times Co. after “multiple rounds of intense bargaining.” The union, affiliated with the NewsGuild of New York, accused the company of unfair labor practices. A company spokesperson said the New York Times Co. was “continuing to work with the Tech Guild to reach a fair contract that takes into account that they are already among the highest-paid individual contributors in the company and journalism is our top priority.”
The union called out the Needle in its post on X Monday announcing the strike — showing the needle all the way to right predicting a “100% chance of a work stoppage”

My money is on Hasan + co getting permabanned by the end of the year. It seems like the liberal-nazi Reddit troll farms will actually have the power to bully people off of Twitch as long as advertisers aren't willing to advertise on media that opposes the state of Israel. Some of them will probably do fine on platforms like YouTube, but the Palestine version of the red scare, is alive and well.
Sidebar there definitely needs to be a term coined for the anti-Palestinian witch hunts that have been going on, I've seen "the new McCarthyism", but that doesn't really do it justice, and the green scare is already taken describing the US crackdown on environmental protestors in the 2000s. Maybe the "Palestine Panic", that's the best I've got.
This guy represents one of the poorest districts in the country and spends 90% of his waking hours tweeting about "antisemetic" college students and what not, almost a parody of what people think of as a corrupt US politician.
