My grandfather, Roman Anthony “Slim” Sarwark, founded Sarwark Motor Sales back in 1942 in Phoenix. Son of Polish immigrants, Roman moved to Phoenix from Indiana because it was better than living in a tuberculosis sanitarium and waiting to die in an institution. He married Ruth Van de Beuken.

LA Fitness makes canceling memberships next to impossible... apparently even if your gym closes. Nationwide, LA Fitness locations are shutting down, but members may still be stuck in contracts as long as there’s another location within 25 miles of the closed one. www.thestreet.com/retail/la-fi...

I think fundamentally what’s happening is that pollsters are terrified of underestimating Rs again and correctly think that underestimating Ds won’t matter as long as they get the topline result right (“I said D+2 and it was D+11” is a big miss but still counted as ‘they got it right’)

the reason a bunch of us think we might get a serious polling error in favor of dems this cycle is that a lot of polls, when you look at LV screens, are going “we think the shape of the electorate is going to look like 2022 or even redder in terms of who actually votes” does that sound credible?

Greenblatt has systematically destroyed the credibility of the ADL

It has been a long time since we saw a major realignment in American politics. I think we might be see a so-called "critical election" next week. In 2010, Republicans rode the Tea Party wave and routed the Dems in every rural district possible. 2026 will be when the Dems win the Sunbelt

Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

Does anyone know who the "William Barr" is who is mentioned in the FBI chart on page 22 of the House Dem staff Epstein report? democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

This jerk right here is the first major American political figure of any party who simply refuses to accept the result of any election that his team lost. This attitude in a Presidents destroys the Constitution. It took the United States over 230 years to sink to this low.

There are so many different credible allegations about Donald Trump being a rapist, you can almost understand how The New York Times missed the new charges here, but uh, this is supposed to be The New York Times.

Justin J Pearson’s republican opponent sent unsolicited dick pics to multiple recipients when he was as old as 53. He admits to it, but calls his behavior “youthful indiscretion” and a “distraction.” www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

There's zero doubt these people are going to jail for a long, long time if they ever lose power...which almost guarantees a coup attempt

2/ Ramagen landed on my radar when I saw his post relying on the Thiel-backed Polymarket platform to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lula (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) He called Polymarket “real information”. 🙄

“The US is letting a convicted Bolsonaro spy chief [Alexandre Ramagen] stay in Florida. Brazil wants answers. Former intelligence director Alexandre Ramagem fled after his conviction for trying to overturn Brazil’s 2022 election.” 10/22/26… 1/ share.google/goujYJzMdBtL...

According to this Reddit thread (grain of salt, I know): layoffs at Scripps. This comes two months after laying off 12% of its staff. www.reddit.com/r/Broadcasti...

For my reporting I'm interested in talking to people who know about old telecom wiring still hanging between wooden utility poles, sometimes unused, and how it's being stolen for scrap. Infrastructure enthusiasts, linemen, rural cops, telecoms scholars: my email is jsilverman@icij.org.

>the US is supporting a right-wing coup attempt in latam what year is it again?

He's such a phony. His wife's name was Usha Chilukuri when they met. His in-laws names are Radhakrishna and Lakshmi Chilukuri. He was married in a Hindu ceremony presided over by a Hindu priest.

this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"

you went to yale law school asshole

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

Lot of folks (self included) expressing despair that despite aggressive prosecuting fascists ("doing everything right") Brazil was still going to get Bolsonaro-ed and the fact this guy gtfo-ed as quickly as he did should be a big signal for the AOC DOJ to go *hard* in 2029.

Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

Around half of the countries generally considered Middle Eastern or transcontinental Middle Eastern have five or fewer letters in their name. Four of the remaining countries are Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel.

This is a baffling governance structure.
