Jews gonna love this at a time or rising antisemitism I’ll tell ya.

Along with everyone else.

But if republicans want to make inroads with Jewish voters they need to stop being such nativist freaks.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

Look I know we’re not Germany in 1939 but at the same time../immigrants and asylum seekers…are you sure you want to be coming to America right now?

Sure start the process because it takes forever. But man even as a naturalized citizen I’m keeping an eye on the exists.

I happily donate to Wikipedia, incredible resource in this day and age especially.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

Now this is a turnaround from the Biden years.

Everyone said the economy was bad. But when you asked them about their personal finances they were more positive. Not anymore.

GOP is in trouble, big time.

The pain isn’t just theoretical anymore.
"How would you describe..."

American Economy:
Poor/Fair: 72%
Good/Excellent: 26%

Your Personal Finances:

America’s universities turned themselves into luxury finishing schools, chasing elites in hopes of landing big dollar donations and growing their endowment. In exchange, they lost both their mission and the support of the other 90% of the public.

Well done Yale & co.

It especially makes a huge difference that Fareed understands that politics happens in other countries than the US too. Center-left failure and populist-right success are international phenomena, seeing how it's happening elsewhere is crucial to separating the root causes from the accidental.

Northwestern’s leaders will likely try to justify their choice to appease fascist extortion with some BS about needing to help researchers get federal funds that were illegally withheld, so it’s important to note that virtually all of the researchers said not to.
So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.

2/2 They found nothing, obviously, but they did destroy entire agencies and their dedicated staff, turned over reams of government data to Elon to train his AIs, dismantled our nation's soft power, and then slunk away with zero guilt, shame, or regret.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Pathetic. Utterly pathetic

GOP Members of Congress correctly noting that the White House treats them like garbage, Speaker Mike Johnson lets it happen because he wants to, the legislature has been usurped, so… they’ll quit, rather than vote for a new Speaker or do oversight of the executive branch.

This conversion between Ezra and Fareed is exceptional.

Gets to the heart of this moment we are in, why democrats and the center left failed, and how to move ahead.

Notably - Fareed echoes what @radiofreetom.bsky.social says. Bored affluence leads to fascism much more than economic struggles.
With Fareed Zakaria, host of “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN and the author of the book “Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash From 1600 to the Present.”

Discussing the “revolution” we may be living through, the forces driving it, and how the Democratic Party can adapt.

One fascinating and yet expected thing is that none of the big foreign accounts pretending to be American are left of center, or even anti-Trump. Not a single one. Says something about the economics and geopolitics of political grifting

Low key though having friendly conversations with someone you viscerally hate and they know you hate them is a real New Yorker skill.
