The latest from @ymriofficial.bsky.social : the Clavicular economy explained, with Minh Tran.
Not only is the gambling economy preying on young men in its own right, it is fueling an influencer economy that thrives on online nihilism

Pointless war in the Middle East, economy floundering, Britney Spears arrested. In the dark, a million millennials take a sledgehammer to the concrete slab over their basement safes containing their JNCOs and Invader Zim hoodies

Again, not the point, but the man continues to barely be capable of forming a sentence. This is barely English.

Congrats to Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski for this fresh opportunity to remind everyone that a vote for them is exactly equivalent to a vote for Donald Trump and his domestic security agenda

New DHS ad featuring Noem
YouTube video by Team Punchbowl News
This is an example of the DHS ads your taxpayer dollars have been paying for to boost Kirsti Noem's name ID prior to her presidential run. They run nonstop on TV+radio here in Texas. Anyone reporting on these as if Donald Trump "didn't know about them" is delusional.

Fortunately most people haven't read The Guns of August so the way these separate, temporary, and often secret alliances and pacts are being played off of one another in a multi-headed oroborous of perceived short-term territorial advantage will strike most people as broadly fine

Frustrated by the pundits out there saying things like "Crockett the progressive vs. Talarico the moderate" or "no one could have foreseen Talarico's performance among Latinos" just obviously not paying attention to a single thing actually happening in politics? Come pay attention with us!

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:

What James Talarico Accomplished on Rogan
The real story lies beneath the viral clips
Early last summer at @ymriofficial.bsky.social we first noticed James Talarico's appearance in unconventional places. Back then we did a deep dive on his strategy and efforts to reach new voters.
I think this analysis holds up. Give it a read
