Matt Stoller: “..Trump & Mamdani defeated establishment in their own way, representing hunger of voters on the right & left who want something different. If those sides cd come together.. that would be a sea change in how we organize our political economy”.

Monopoly Round-Up: Why the Establishment Freaked Out Over a Mamdani-Trump Press Conference
Meta wins its antitrust case, there are now two fire truck antitrust claims, the stock market got wobbly, and Larry Summers was exiled from the establishment, at least for now.

Remember when the Russians called in bomb threats to polling locations in Georgia on election day and a bunch of people (all of whom we now know aren't based out of the US) cried "Russiagate" and then they did it again in Moldova?
It isn't always the Russians but it's really weird how often it's the Russians
Before Germany’s last elections, hundreds of combustion-engine cars had been vandalised, combined with pro-Green flyers left on site. State investigators now assume a Russian influence operation:

Ermittler vermuten Russland hinter Bauschaum-Attacken auf Autos
Hunderte Autos wurden vor einem Jahr in mehreren Bundesländern mit Bauschaum beschädigt. Die Ermittler gehen derzeit davon aus, dass damit die Grünen vor der Wahl diskreditiert werden sollten.

BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

I think @proptermalone.bsky.social can declare victory on his prediction that the GOP was eager to find a way to extend ACA subsidies (even if they've gone about it in a VERY dumb way). Two year extension + following details in the White House plan.

anyway noah smith knows what he's doing
noah smith used to regularly DM me about the fact that his silicon valley venture capitalist buddies were going off the right-wing deep end because they were afraid they would get MeTooed for the fact that promotions for young employees at the startups they were funding were gated by sex
he once DM’d me and a couple of other people to tell us that we were wrong for calling him dumb about lab leak conspiracies and that some people he knew were working on a story that would make it crystal clear and it that was getting ready to drop soon, this was like, 2021, maybe earlier

So Bezos is in them too then?
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.
