The midterm elections are two weeks from today. For the next two months I pledge, when discussing politics, to focus on the qualities and policies of the Democratic candidates on the ballot this fall who I want to win, and the specific flaws of their Republican opponents. I pledge to not get distracted by squirrels, twitch streamers, shiny objects, butthurt candidates who lost in the primary, whatever the news media tries to deflect towards, whatever the Twitter algorithm tries to throw in my face, whatever Trump tries to wag the dog with, or anything else other than the qualities and policies of the Democratic candidates on the ballot this fall to help them defeat their Republican opponents. If anyone sees me deviate from this when discussing politics on this site from this point forward over the next two months, please call me out.

Texans fall to 0-3. The only teams to make the playoffs after an 0-3 start since 2000: 2025 Texans 2018 Texans

Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to fuck @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?

At 43 years old, future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander walked off the mound for the final time after one of the greatest pitching careers in baseball history. His daughter ran up to the mound to give him a hug and he gets emotional

Your daughter running out to get you to cap a Hall of Fame, World Series-winning career? Almost too much.
The perfect ending for Justin Verlander. His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family. Feels like a movie.

Feels like the Astros making the playoffs would be a punishment for the fans at this point.

Shout out to Jose Canseco for dragging this guy in the first time in 25 years that I’ve had reason to remember that he existed.

Midway through the third-quarter, and the Falcons have two different Robinsons that each have more rushing yards than the entire Packers team.

Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I’m challenging him to a debate on Fox News — his safe space. I’ll go into the lion’s den. I know what I believe and I’m not afraid of hard questions. Ken has been running from accountability his whole life. It’s time to stop running.

If Peltola wins, her pet must henceforth be known as the karma chameleon.
2018 Dem Twitter: Would have canceled Peltola so fast for the NYT article, circular firing squad etc etc, Dems in disarray 2026 Dem X: "Fuck those bitch ass staffers get a new job if you dont want to feed the chameleon"

There is no better example I can think of how Trump isn’t a steward of America or remotely patriotic or even nationalistic. He is simply a partisan of his own ego. This is just gross. He’s trying to suck up to a dictator and adversary by mocking another American president. And, btw, the anonymous functionary running this account will be remembered as a tiny little throne-sniffing weasel.
"This is the autopen... it's Biden." 🤣 President Trump shows off the legendary Presidential Walk of Fame to President Xi.

i am so tired of people shit talking texas because "it's too hot." you know what's great about texas? sunshine. water. and this incredible invention called air conditioning. you know what actually sucks? the cold. waking up to gray skies for months on end. shoveling snow. scraping ice off your windshield. putting on 5,000 layers just to walk outside and still feeling like your fingers are going to fall off. i would rather sweat my ass off walking to my air-conditioned car than spend half the year freezing and miserable. and with all the money you're saving on state income taxes, you can afford to take a vacation somewhere cooler when you need a break. i will die on this hill. texas heat is not that bad. winter is infinitely worse.

Our firm is working on every one of these TX races except (09) so we can CONFIRM! A Hispanic HURRICANE is coming! @SolidarityLLC
Estimated Hispanic shift (NYT/Siena applied to districts) Texas 🔵 TX-28: +31 🔵 TX-15: +25 🔵 TX-34: +24 🔵 TX-23: +18 🔵 TX-35: +16 🔵 TX-09: +16 Florida 🔵 FL-26: +25 🔵 FL-28: +25 🔵 FL-27: +21 🔵 FL-22: +13 🔵 FL-12: +12 🔵 FL-07: +11 🔵 FL-14: +11 Nate Cohn (NYT): If the Hispanic shift holds, it would put in play more than a dozen Trump +10 districts — Texas and Florida become ground zero. nytimes.com/2026/09/22/upsho…

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017: "I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
