The Final Days of Campaigning
There is still a lot of money being moved around right now as Democrats try to set up a firewall against Republicans. The Democratic Governor’s Association is setting up a PAC in New York to help defend Gov. Kathy Hochul while Republicans move money to take on seats that Joe Biden won by as much as 20 points. If anyone thought that the New York Governor’s mansion was a thing Democrats could lose this year, you should probably ask them for the next big Powerball numbers.
The Pelosi Attack
This story is strange, with a lot of theories and misinformation floating around. It’s gotten to the point where everyone has decided to make this all about positioning the guy within the Republican Party when he’s a Berkely guy, wrote about invisible fairies visiting him, and supported pride events and Black Lives Matter. There are some things he wrote on his blog that aligned with some fringe right-wing elements, but the guy’s entire history has been of the left. But the problem isn’t his ideology. The problem is the press’s ideology.
Elon Musk Is Making Moves
The left is absolutely losing its mind over Elon Musk taking over as the top guy at Twitter. But there are a lot of headlines to go through in this story. He fired the top executives for cause, meaning they won’t get massive buyouts. He is letting go of a lot of the workforce. He’s got access to Twitter’s Slack chats, which apparently show employees violating court orders. He wants to charge for verification and possibly bring back the video service Vine. It’s all crazy.
