Trump won. You don't have to do this anymore.

Young Republicans

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement...

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Modern American politics has totally warped my view of what an old person is. I look at my dad sometimes and it makes me upset. I think "man, he's so old. it breaks my heart." My dad is four years younger than Janet Mills.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

i like Platner too but just a quick reminder that Janet Mills is the governor who yelled "I'll see you in court" at Trump to his face over the trans sports executive order, so if you wanna trash her please be sure you're sending the signals you intended to send.

This line from Mamdani's father just really struck me. Great profile:

“I was an Indian in Uganda. I was a Muslim in India. And I was all of these things in New York City,” Mahmood Mamdani explained to his son. And “to be a minority is also to see the truth of the place amidst the promise of it.”

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 19h

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.
