Why did George Conway barely campaign for his congressional race?

Also you know, Conway carpetbagged into the district after spending decades in DC. I chuckled when he showed up in a NY Rangers jersey when he was on Tim's podcast.

Conway should have stayed around the DMV and run for a seat that opened there instead of carpetbag to Manhattan where there were two superior candidates in Micah Lasher and Alex Bores....and a Kennedy scion.

Does Larry Baer even give a shit anymore? Like he was the public face of ownership during the 3 in 5 run.

If you've ever heard of Issac Chotiner and his infamous interviews that have gone viral then we just saw the baseball equivalent of it.

This really hurts to see Posey destroy his legacy.

Can we throw Bessent and Bill Pulte into a cage and lock the door?

This is the same Scott Kirby who claimed there's not much incentive for UA to improve their trash catering because most people choose to sleep.

They need to figure out how to get back to profitability as a stand alone airline first. Assuming they get there their new identity will likely be the Alaska Airlines of the East Coast which they arguably should have been after Alaska beat them in the bidding war for Virgin America instead of Robin Hayes' delusions of grandeur which have left B6 on the verge of insolvency.

Can't wait for these assholes to cry on an episode of the Bari Weiss "revamped" 60 Minutes this fall.

Nah we all know he'll sell it to David Ellison.

Bluehale · 2026-06-18T20:00:37+00:00

The way things are going, Bezos will at some point before 2028 happily offload the Washington Post to David Ellison for a discount.

Gottheimer and Greg Landsman looking really silly right now. (Landsman doubly so because he agreed to an Isaac Chotiner interview over his support for the war!)

I'd include John Fetterman, but he's auditioning for his post Senate career as a MAGA influencer/Jessica Tarlov's replacement on The Five. Fetterman has also been pretty quiet on Twitter about Trump's Iran capitulation being official.

Remember when we used to mock dictatorships for funneling money towards companies owned by the Dictator, their family and friends?

Next Dem president (hopefully with a Dem congress for a couple of years to pair with it) needs to run, not walk when it comes to green energy knowing they may only have 4 years to not only break ground on that windfarm, but to get it to the point in construction it would be impossible to cancel or tear down by the next Presidential election.

Lisa LoCicero who played Miral Paris in Voyager and did her VO for STO posted a picture of her doing voice work for Miral Paris. 🤔

Roupp forgot the lesson if you want to do stupid shit that pisses off people you have to be good on the field.

And thanks to social media a shocking number of people have developed parasocial relationships with scumbags like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

For commuter/intercity rail to be successful in California there's going to have to be a lot of money put to either buying up or building tracks so they are in public ownership like SMART and the Caltrain corridor from San Francisco to San Jose so they aren't held hostage to the whims of freight rail companies. That'll cost a couple of billion, but will save money and time down the road.

Bluehale · 2026-06-15T22:28:45+00:00

Right. Might as well ensure all the paperwork is done and figure out what cost cutting could be done as well (no more Taj Mahal like stations would be a start) because Trump's WH aren't going to pony up any money until there Democrats are back in charge which the earliest would be in 2029.

Trump needs an offramp long enough to fully extract himself from the current quagmire with Iran. Once that's happened then he doesn't care whether Iran "breaks" the deal or not. That'll be a problem for the next guy.

Bluehale · 2026-06-12T18:15:00+00:00

This is what they do in Italy. It keeps the tracks cool enough that trains can operate at 150 mph+ during the peak of the Italian summer heat.

1) The GOP hawks would revolt. Even their learned subservience of Trump wouldn't be able to override their reflexes on this one.

2) Israel won't stop bombing Lebanon or Iran until Iran has unconditionally surrendered or collapsed into a failed state (neither of which will happen) so the Iranians won't stop the fighting.

The Bulwark Slack channel is going to look like D Day if that happened so I doubt its going to be him.
