Still is. In the MAGA mind, “urban” means “slum full of useless criminal minorities”. It does not mean $3M condos in high rises next to 25 story bank HQ buildings or major world class universities. ---

E-Dubs corollary: Sufficiently advanced incompetence in indistinguishable from malice. ---

I saw that Prez Biden’s staffer, the American press admin from Haiti, told an interviewer she is now an Independent, not a Democrat. I’ve been sick in bed so can’t recall her name; I still was interested in her accomplishments there. You’ll could forgive me in advance as I’m wiped out. ---

Karine Jean-Pierre - d’oh! She was easy to understand. It’s too bad the Democrats split her off somehow. ---

Not to mention the places where their products (be it wheat or motorcycles) make it to the rest of the world and they get paid. I suppose each could setup their own logistics if they wanted to. Good luck with that. ---

I like how the DNC sent out sweepstakes-like solicitations yesterday. ‘Donate $250, get yourself a ticket and we’ll invite you to coffee with President Obama.’ It’s beyond my budget but I like the outreach. ---

The drama at the DNC continues, with someone leaking a call where Ken Martin expresses doubts about his ability or desire to lead the party due to Hogg’s behavior: [https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/08/martin-hogg-call-private-meeting-00393517](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/08/martin-hogg-call-private-meeting-00393517) ---

We may have lost Karine, but we’ve gained Joe Walsh. ---

All this stuff really looks dumb for the DNC, but on the plus side, the DNC has pretty much always looked dumb and out of touch, so this is par for the course. Give your money to good candidates in tough races, not the DNC. ---

Because the progressives and MAGA have called it so. The DNC isnt there to donate to Harris for president, etc- she raised her own money- and lots of it, she outspent trump. They exist to strategically spend money on small down ballot races. Note that even in the House- the GOP and pundits were predicting a Red Wave- but the DNC managed to win enough non- publicized seats so the House is pretty damn close to a tie. Massive success.
