If there is a shutdown, this is going to be the Republican argument: That Dems are the cause and are doing it to preserve health care for migrants, trans people, and dead people.

Long live Murray Rothbard. All praise to anarcho-capitalists who depend on hard work and meritocracy. Surely, they'll reject any evil handouts from the government.

Bessent on Argentina: "The plan is as long as President Milei continues with his strong economic policies to help him, to bridge him to the election, we are not going to let a disequilibrium in the market cause a backup in his substantial economic reforms."

“A woman handed him stickers she had made with a picture of bagels and lox and a message urging Jewish voters to support Mr. Mamdani: “Reject the smear campaign — join the schmear campaign.” A rabbi associated with the congregation gave Mr. Mamdani a challah.”

This Tejano Music Star Could Upend Gerrymandering in South Texas

The son of a migrant farmworker, he can hit a bullseye from a mile out with a long-range rifle—and he’s getting Democrats’ hopes up.

Those congress people are just the vocal ones. Their sentiments are shared by many, many more.

He did no such thing. You prefer to pretend to be the victim.

No one expects 100% support.

You may not have a good read on the situation. In general Democrats prefer corporate friendly candidates that never criticize Israel. Zohran is a break from that tradition.

Im assuming you’re white woman. Brown and black people being leary of not adhering to status quo is always met with derision. It’s not “persecution” as you dismissively say it’s prudence. Whether you entertain reality or not doesn’t change this fact.

Hoping for the best

All people are saying is there are democrats that don’t support him including the minority leader in the house. I actually live in NYC. I will be voting for Mandani. I don’t think he’s radical, but many democrats would rather he go away.

Calling random people “ableist” is weird and unhinged.

Try to show some maturity. No one has more of a persecution complex than people like you.

Don’t be a racist. We have enough vile people in MAGA. Go join them if you can’t have a civil conversation.

Putting your head in the sand doesn’t help anyone.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Harlan Stone and Justice Felix Frankfurter discuss ethnic tolerance in 1946. They would be accused of being "woke" today.

"Cremieux" is Jordan Lasker. Jordan is more than an opponent of affirmative action, he is a grad school dropout who has been pushing white supremacism, eugenics, and race science for years. I'm not sure why the Times would not cite his (publicly known) name, except to run cover for him.

When critical race theorists point out that “neutrality” and “objectivity” are often a thin veneer for white supremacy, they mean stuff like this.

An opinion writer is not allowed to criticize the paper on social media for using a Nazi source but the reporter who worked with the Nazi source was free to leave a long social media trail being buddy-buddy with the Nazi in public
