That's the authoritarian dream

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

This just in: Chef Boyardee isn't a real chef

This just in: leaked internal documents show Chef Boyardee falsified his resume and is not, in fact, a real chef

“.. perhaps the most cruel and unlawful offense the Trump administration has perpetrated yet — freezing funding already enacted into law to feed hungry Americans while he shovels tens of billions of dollars .. to Argentina and into his ballroom.”

The post below is incredibly dishonest. You don't need a graduate degree in statistics or survey analysis to see that the most common response to Mamdani is a lack of familiarity, *not* disfavor. In fact, he is viewed less unfavorably than Newsom, AOC, Harris or Schumer.

That’s not what it shows

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

According to Democrats the entire history of US politics should have been impossible since the only thing regular voters care about is the economy, and specifically, “affordability.” The 250-year history of our democracy is just a series of endless debates over food prices and nothing else

This is the way

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

Just a quick PSA that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in your public movements. This is why law enforcement can follow YOU or photograph YOU in public without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Law enforcement doesn’t get “extra” protection in that regard. Goose/gander etc.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Mamdani has to be one of the sharpest political communicators of our generation

No idea whether he can actually govern well, but in terms of communicating to base & gettables equally well, counterpunching Cuomo and Trump in the same breath, in thirty seconds or less

I mean, damn

No, and what he's doing now isn't legal, either. It is, on the more important point of how it's being funded, insanely unconstitutional. But not everything is fixable by litigation, even constitutional violations. Some parts are up to Congress to enforce or else they simply aren't enforced at all.

"a question worth thinking about"

*screams*

Fuck this guy.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.
