The FEC compiles campaign finance data. It plays zero role in administering elections

It’s also hypocritical for a media ecosystem that will seize on anything from emails, Hunter’s laptop, age, conspiracy theories, and play the song for weeks when it faces the other way, regardless of timing. They do it all the time. These reservations are very selective.

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

She was auntie-ing to the highest extent of auntie-ing

The Gaza scammers are back in force

incredible strategic error by Pat McAfee to reveal he is deeply bothered by relatively mild mockery from college students despite a key component of his job being "standing on a stage in front of college students for 3 hours a week"

Leave it to Will Wade to unethically pay an athlete/athlete’s family in a time where paying athletes is encouraged

Lincoln Riley follows every member of the main cast of Entourage EXCEPT for Adrian Grenier

So far, remarkably high turnout by young Black voters in Georgia. Eye-popping chart.

If you’re starting to wonder No team has swept both the LCS and World Series since the LCS became best-of-7 in 1985 Yet

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

Filed under “Nicknames Gus Johnson has tried to give himself”:

just print this out and put it on your gameday sign for the rest of the year

Nice sign

If this is from a Republican pollster then I REALLY want to see a high-quality poll of this race.

Dante Moore done for the season. Terrible development for Oregon and the young QB.

It sounds like a Brewers home game in the Tampa stadium

Tampa Bay knows they're allowed to field the ball cleanly in this series, right?

The Cowboys defense makes a lot more sense now that I realize they're all Snowball from Rick & Morty before he figured out he could put more batteries in his helmet

A federal judge. Where we are as a country.

That’s where the k-cup goes

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

My local Bexar County Dems made this amazing short remembering the words of the late great Ann Richards. We’re fired up.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

I tried to be generous with Stephen A when I profiled him for GQ seven years ago but he really is just a terminal, craven bootlicker

The most telling part of Stephen A. and Jerry watching the game together is ESPN’s lack of shame in showing it. The network is so proud of his nonsense.
