Johnston's campaign haul for the Mayor's race now nearing $6 mill, with about $4 mill from the PAC Advancing Denver. Top 3 contributors to the PAC: Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn about $1.3 mill, Michael Bloomberg $500K, Kent Thiry $450K.
https://twitter.com/CPRMarkus/status/1661779929112137730
I don't have a horse in the race since I live in Jeffco but thought that had I still lived in Denver, I would probably vote for Brough.
But seeing that Mike Bloomberg saw fit to spend $500,000 on Johnston puts Johnston into a whole different and better light.
"Pride Month Is A Cynical Exercise In State-Enforced Homosexuality". Federalist Society:
Conservatism circles the drain of the culture wars. Apparently Obamacare will require us to have sex with someone of the same gender sometime in June.
More seriously, David Kurtz at TPM points out how radical the Supreme Court has become, but it isn't even Conservatism any more:
Typical load of Federalist Society horseshit. Extolling the "virtues" of "conservative jurisprudence," which is basically 19th century thinking and judges playing very bad, rank amateur historians. Not to mention the financial and ethical corruption the Court embraces more and more.
Skipping Friday and just going right into the weekend, Pols? I like your style.

And the really scary part is that starting next to Ginni Thomas, Clarence is the more rational and stable one.

CNN Poll: Biden has a lead over Democratic primary challengers, but faces headwinds overall | CNN Politics
RFK, Jr. is polling at 20%. He can probably nudge that up to 30% by rolling out his announcement that his cousin, JFK, Jr., will be his running mate.
Where they go one, they go all.

ChatGPT is a Republican
Who knew that when they really want to, Republicans can actually grow some cojones and do the right thing …..
Texas House of Representatives votes to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton (msn.com)
If only they had done this with Trump in DC.
Texas Tribune clarifies the vote
So, it is increasingly clear:
REPUBLICANS ‘R’ REVOLTING
With Paxton, it is clear that the 24 Republican TX Representatives voting against impeachment and those beyond the House (Trump, Cruz, et al) supporting his continued tenure in office are the sort of Republicans who are revolting, in the sense of disgusting, sickening, or nauseating.
With the threats of retaliation from Paxton and Trump, it is clear there are two factions who will be embattled in upcoming elections. I’m expecting some sort of conflict, or as the thesaurus suggests, one side rebelling, rising up, taking to the streets, and perhaps even taking up arms against those who formed a majority to impeach.
If it pisses off the Free Dumb Carcass and if it pisses off the Squad, it can't be all that bad ….
Biden and McCarthy Reach Debt Ceiling Deal to Avert U.S. Default – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
IMHO, the cut to the increase in IRS funding was probably the worst part of the deal. Everyone is screaming about the debt, but they've decided to reduce funding for one thing that would actually bring in more money without raising tax rates.
