Looks like nearly $1000/subscriber rather than nearly $1M, but it’s still ~15 times the annual subscription rate, which seems like a lot.

I don’t fault the candidates themselves raising whatever they can, but I do fault the donors for not spreading the money around to other candidates.

Is it our government’s position that if an American commits a drug crime with a cartel (or they allege that) it can just kill that person without trial even if not an immediate threat? I am genuinely trying to understand what if any lines they believe exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

This Day in Labor History: October 2, 1968. the Mexican military slaughtered students protesting in the Tlateloco Plaza at the edge of Mexico City. The Tlateloco Massacre demonstrated the complete corruption of the Mexican Revolution’s ideals!!!

Yeah, I suspect that they were labeled an untrustworthy source due to bias and/or quality and the poster didn’t realize that they are left wing. I haven’t looked at their site in a long time either but it doesn’t look like they are conservative-friendly:

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

Okay, I stand corrected. I suspect that Spanberger will win by more than 7, but I guess it’s mostly vibes.

At least in VA, Spanberger was 12 points ahead in the last poll that I saw? If that holds, it would be the best performance for a Democrat in a gubernatorial election in decades.
