I may just be an American bumpkin but how did the violent murder of a 15 year old trans girl get turned into a national campaign about how phones got her to self harm?

Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

Nice job, blaming the community that she went to for an escape from the offline environment where she was literally murdered.

yeah everyone should believe the polling of the guy who has such dogshit political instincts he didn’t think Zohran had a great shot at winning the primary. i didn’t need to see a single poll to know he was going to win. the moment i saw him screaming at Tom Homan i was like “yes he will win” lmao

Lakshya Jain @lakshya.splitticket.... • 5mo Personally, I disagree in that I think Zohran is clearly a better housing candidate than Cuomo, who's mostly a NIMBY business cartel and predator, while Adams is just a foreign agent.
But I don't think Zohran has a great shot, and I wish the field consolidated around someone else against Cuomo.

Families in FL-21 are facing a crisis. Because of the government shutdown, SNAP benefits may not be available in November, leaving people without food assistance.

I grew up relying on SNAP. I know what hunger feels like and I’ll fight in Congress to make sure no family ever goes through this again.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed

From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

A few weeks before his stunning loss to Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic mayoral primary, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo put forth a political calculus long accepted as fact in New York: “Being a Democrat,” he said, “it’s synonymous that you support Israel.”

Then came Zohran Mamdani

Backing Israel was considered mandatory for New York politicians. Then came Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani, who would be the city’s first Muslim mayor, could be on the cusp of shattering that convention.
