I love Ilhan Omar is ignoring the Der Sturmer style campaign against her ethnicity and is diving into MMA wage wonkery instead
Ilhan Omar asks Lawrence Epstein what minimum share of event revenue can he commit to today that boxers could receive under Zuffa Boxing. Epstein says he can't commit to any percentage today. Later, Omar mentions UFC is being sued again then asks Epstein how he will make sure

Keeping WBD out of Paramount's hands is good. Putting it in Netflix's is still unlawful consolidation though. This is the #1 streamer merging with #3. State enforcers should speak up.
Netflix has entered exclusive talks with Warner Bros. Discovery to acquire the company’s film and television studio, as well as the HBO Max streaming service, Variety confirms. The development comes after a weeks-long bidding war for the assets at Warner Bros. Discovery between

It’s pretty funny how quickly we came full circle to the big tent stuff being used to directly justify not taking wildly popular economic positions that would offend elites.
Gov. @GavinNewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @ZohranKMamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views. More on the CA proposal: https://t.co/D3SWI7SPJw

Now is the perfect time to transfer tens if not hundreds of billions to Raytheon and Palantir for a regime-change operation, and subsequent stabilization and nation-building campaign, in Venezuela. 🇻🇪
Fox: Job cuts surpassed 1 million, the highest October total since 2003. US-based employers announced 71,321 job cuts in November, up 24% from the job cuts announced last year.

Let's see how the American people feel about being in a war with Russia on behalf of...Ukraine...a country that is not a member of NATO and with which the US has no formal military alliance and one almost no American can find on a map. You people get away with this ridiculous
With the insulting attitude Putin continues to have about demanding Ukraine surrender instead of a truce the only realistic strategy is for the United States and its European allies to vastly expand military aid to Ukraine and to approve Ukrainian deep strikes inside Russia to

Polling shows most Americans are as confused about this as we are. Really it’s just a test of how absurd of a thing Trump can say and do and his hardcore bass sticks with him.
I can understand how people fell for WMD in the wake of 9/11 but if you buy Venezuelan fentanyl you're actually just an imbecile

America to institutional conservatives: please be normal Institutional conservatives: no
the Heritage Foundation's new director of Family Studies has views such as business should be able to only hire "male heads of households" and that the push for women's legal equality has been a grave mistake must-read from @henryolsenEPPC asking @Heritage to weigh in clearly

I agree primaries are good for vetting candidates, etc. But this makes absolutely no sense. The Texas Democratic primary electorate is extremely different from its general electorate. Many candidates who have lost primaries would have been stronger general election candidates.
A candidate that cannot beat Jasmine Crockett in a primary is a candidate who cannot flip Texas blue. Primaries are good, iron sharpens iron. Let’s see what the Texas dems are made of.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the “New Right” that “New Rubio” exists
This is the main guy pushing for war in Venezuela: Little Marco. To the right wingers who, apparently, haven’t learned a thing from the last 25 years: A full scale war in Venezuela will be for us what Libya was for Europe. The refugees won’t be going to Sweden.
