House terms are short. Would not be surprised to see Bush back in 2026. She was a political novice and will learn from the defeat.

I should have added that the Trump campaign seems to be dismissive and apathetic about the female vote, assuming they will vote as they always have. Big mistake IMHO. The female voting bloc has become more college-educated and leftward leaning since 2016. Donald Jr.'s latest "got milk" post was revolting, and I'm sure many female voters are keeping receipts on the ways the campaign can be gross and deeply disturbing.

I was talking to some people at work about the olympic athletes taking advantage of free healthcare, because it's too expensive in the United States. And know what his concerns was?
That our tax payer dollars will be going to paying for free healthcare for the most physically fit people in the world in 2028 in LA.

I think he might have to avoid the whole office and his parents’ homes.
Nah, just that one guy on our team on Teams calls. We talk about politics a lot as a team when the shoot the shit on weekly calls and there's that one guy who's ultra conservative. Would it surprise you if I said he's a first generation American, his parents immigrated to our country.

I’m not a regular reader of Salon, but this excerpt was just too right to not share:
“Or put more bluntly: Vance was chosen to appeal to the creeps and weirdoes. … [Vance] spends way too much time with Holocaust deniers and Pizzagate conspiracy theorists to remember what "normal" even sounds and looks like.
Meanwhile, Harris is starting to rise in the polls, leading Trump nationally, although by slender margins no one should take for granted. Yet the Trump campaign seems stuck in the strategy they had been counting on for months against Biden: demoralize Democrat voters so they stay at home while turning out the dirtbag vote with an overtly misogynist, trolling-based campaign. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., explained the theory that they could get creepy dudes of every race with these tactics: "For every ‘Karen’ we lose, there is a ‘Julio’ and a ‘Jamal’ ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.”

Unfortunately the writing was on the wall with this, similar to the psilocybin rejection earlier this year. It seems that the methodology for the medical trials were not as thorough as they should have been. Turns out that it was pretty easy for a patient to figure out whether they had received magic mushrooms/MDMA vs a Placibo. The good news is I think the medical/therapeutic community is going to keep pushing forward and hopefully someday soon they will gain FDA approval.

I posted about this podcast on my status the other day. Having caught up with season 2, I think there is a lot of good stuff to think about, especially regarding the Camden 28 trail, in regards to the Israel-Palestinian war:

What Rahm is saying seems like he almost gets it. Obviously he draws the complete wrong conclusions.Meanwhile
