It is possible to look these things up and check whether Abdul El-Sayed was unusually good or unusually bad at winning over working class voters.

“Look it doesn’t really matter to me that the Republican candidate for Governor killed three people at that Starbucks. What matters is that we can’t let the democrats win”
WOW -- Vance *defends* Ramaswamy's reprehensible ad 👇
Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away from that. Do you think that ad was appropriate?
JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest with you. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern. My concern is who is gonna govern. I have to admit I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans who are whining more about that ad than they are about what the Democrats want to do.

I don’t think this is the zing he thinks it is…
Question on whether they will support Trump admin. Holscher says she won't stand by while he hurts farmers. Masterson: "I agree she's not standing by. She's actively destroying jobs in Kansas. You don't have to wait for President Trump to do it." #ksleg

This is entirely predictable. According to the DSA's most recent survey, over 80% of members have college degrees, and the group is almost entirely white. The idea that the activist left is led by the "working class" is a myth. It's mostly an elite phenomenon.
As results continue to come in in Michigan’s hotly contested Senate race, a class divide is emerging.
El-Sayed is performing best in places with higher incomes and education levels — while Stevens is doing better in more working-class areas. politico.com/live-updates/20…

Sometimes it really does feel like Trump is a psyop to turn everyone into a libertarian.
It reintroduce actual America to the rest of the world.
The 1994 World Cup reintroduced a sport to the wider United States that had crumbled with the North American Soccer League in the 1980s and survived mostly in immigrant communities around the country. It launched a professional league and gave soccer a path forward in this country.
This 2026 World Cup has presented an entirely different opportunity for soccer in America.

MLS should take advantage of a successful World Cup by:
- Merging with USL
- Ending the common ownership aspects of the league
- Adopting pro/rel, with parachute payments to get current franchise owners on board
- Eliminating the salary cap so that clubs can buy the best players
Let American capitalism make it the best league in the world.

It's no coincidence that Take Me Home, Country Roads became the song of our nation after the Mountaineers won the College Basketball Crown.

It really is PERFECT that several elite economists just spent several weeks debating - with detailed data/charts/analysis/etc - US/EU wealth & living standards, & then a bunch of goofy European tourists simply tweeted abt a Texan gas station & settled the debate in 30 seconds 🤣

“In the aftermath of the outbreak, the Air Force issued an exception to the voluntary vaccine policy, requiring that all recruits at Lackland AFB get flu shots.”
The basic training facility for the Air Force in San Antonio, Texas, is experiencing a flu outbreak following the end of mandatory vaccination for all service members. abcnews.link/AA2rFWc

The second half was a little janky, but the first half was the game I have been waiting for from the USMNT since I started watching them in 1990. Ball control. Impeccable passing. A ruthless closer in Balogun. And Pulisic being the engine that made everything go. Get hyped.
