@CriticalThotPhD and everyone else has been enjoying #SquidGames. I am a huge fan of Korean thriller cinema (not so much the television dramas but I think that's about to change.) So here's a primer on some essential viewing if you're Korean curious:
@VP will be traveling to Tanzania, Zambia, and Ghana this month. @GullahRehabbed will explain the importance of her trip to national security and opposing the Chinese Belt and Road project.
Let's put it in context and look at what's been done in the South China Sea. A thread:
@VP@GullahRehabbed To scare its neighbors into accepting its illegitimate claims, China:
(1) Instructs Kim Jong Un to fire missiles off the coast of Korea and Japan (2) Directs large fleets to raid the fishing grounds of other countries (3) Builds artificial islands in international waters
@VP@GullahRehabbed In 2022, the @vp visited the DMZ to reaffirm our military alliance with Korea and Japan, calling it the "cornerstone" for peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
That December Japan reportedly considered revising its rules to allow exportation of lethal weaponry to Ukraine 😎
Lotta people are heaving misogynistic BS at @ChristySmithCA this morning. @jfchen is in the same hole, yet none of the same hot takes have been directed at him.
Here's my suggestion: wait for the ballots to be counted before you uncork your ignorance.
As we have seen this cycle, coattails from a popular governor and Senator are enough to drag candidates across the line. Wait for the millions of ballots to be counted.
@ChristySmithCA@jfchen@GavinNewsom My hot take is that @WillRollinsCA is actually in a more precarious position than the other two, but I've not seen any of the same crap from people who ought to know better about how we run shit in this state dumped at his doorstep.
Y'all should get over your misgivings regarding these two because we're going to be campaigning our asses off for them shortly. The next Senate majority depends on it.
No, she’s not losing the primary.
Yes, I will go to the nines to ensure she wins her primary, just like I did in 2018. I don't have to like her to have her votes on things I want - judges.
The forecasters spent millions on dev and design for their electoral models and other voodoo bullshit only to be beaten by a lawyer's Excel spreadsheet and steadfast commitment to the laws of political science
You know how I knew we were going to hold the House? Because there are iron laws of political science that people like @NateSilver538 and @Nate_Cohn ignored for fun and profit.
@NateSilver538@Nate_Cohn My rules are not complicated and yet the punditry fucked up all three anyway!
1. Incumbents are hard to beat 2. Statewide candidates have downballot coattails 3. The candidate that outraises AND outspends usually wins
