Haven't seen this reported much re: Josh Shapiro but his handling of this case is going to be front and center of GOP attacks if he's on the ticket pennlive.com/crime/2023/05/… Member of a wealthy and influential legal family calls 911, claiming he just stepped outside to go to the gym and came home to find his fiance dead. Medical investigators find 20 separate stab wounds and declare it a homicide.

Something I've been thinking about: Beau Biden announced his plans to run for Delaware Governor in 2014 and then disappeared from public life. Everyone around him stayed mum about his health but insisted he was still running as he was on his deathbed

Biden's camp insisted that his disappearance from public life was not serious, and that he was actually ramping up his work. They didn't even concede he was seeking medical attention until two weeks before he died.

remember when the New York Democrats ran screaming to the right in 2022 and it singlehandedly cost national Democrats the House anyway the NY Dems somehow have even more influence over the national party now

Northwestern University, like Brown and several other elite schools, ended their encampment protests by agreeing to an extremely milquetoast set of policies.

In response, the ADL, StandWithUs, and the Brandeis Center have demanded that Northwestern's President resign, along with a particularly unhinged statement

man I'm gonna be an anxious wreck all day until polls close lol National observers take Vallas's numbers tonight with a huge grain of salt. He faces even tougher sledding than, say, Rick Caruso did in LA in the runoff...but Lori is no Karen Bass

Really understated that Paul Vallas has been run out of town in every city he's ever been in, INCLUDING Chicago, but he has a shot at being mayor now

He got tossed out of fucking Bridgeport Connecticut because he didn't even bother trying to fulfill basic requirements of his job

Im going back to Chicago's first round of voting in 2019 to get a sense of what to expect on Tuesday. The only reason we didn't get a Lightfoot-Daley runoff is because the unremarkable son of an old unremarkable machine pol nearly swept all the wards where machine remnants remain Jerry Joyce got like 2k votes combined in the rest of the city but put up Assad margins in some of these old machine, white wards filled with cops and retired city workers

The incumbent mayor of Chicago is in danger of missing the runoff, which is literally unprecedented. More than anything, she needs to answer for why she wants, much less deserves, a second term. 5 weeks out from the election, that answer seems to be "to own my enemies" I was always leery of Lori, but she was also my clear #2 after Preckwinkle. At worst, I figured she'd be a good-government liberal (pejorative) who might not give CPD a blank check and free reign. She ran a progressive campaign. She had solid progressive friends and allies.

Peter Thiel and Glenn Greenwald's youtube knockoff service paid Andrew Tate a handsome sum to start streaming from their service this year. A few months ago Thiel was photographed entering a Romanian castle for a secret Halloween Party that Musk allegedly also attended There's a reason Epstein met with Steve Bannon when the heat picked up on him. He realized that the right will embrace literally anyone who owns the libs, even and especially when they are wealthy or powerful
