In backing Momdani as a political candidate note that I am NOT pushing for socialist candidates in our national elections. What plays in NYC, stays in NYC. The destructive fallacy of the coastal Democratic left in safe Democrat districts is ALWAYS, we would have won if we had moved further left!

Trump's incoherent answers to Norah O'Donnell raise new questions about Joe Biden's mental fitness.

Momdani is a poster child for how Democrats can win elections again. Momdani is winning *despite* being a socialist muslim in a city with 1 million Jews - because he knows how to win voters, he’s young, vigorous, talented, and focuses on affordability. It’s time the calcified Sen Schumer steps down.

The elite insiders who ran the Harris campaign, ushering in the worst disaster in the history of the Democracy, spent $1.5 billion. To lose. Every. Single. Swing. State. At the pinnacle of this group is one Chuck Schumer, who to this day refuses to endorse Momdani. We need a new Senate leader!

Except for the tens of thousands of Ukrainian Christians over the past three years murdered by Putin. That’s different.

As terrible as the boat attacks stories are, I wonder if we have reached the point where the military is killing people and keeping it a secret.

The failed DNC needs an emergency war council. Now.
Wapo: “Americans see the president and the two political parties as out of touch with their lives. But Democrats are judged most harshly. While 63 percent of Americans see Trump as out of touch, 68 percent say the Democrats are out of touch.”

Please understand that Trump
has mastered the Quantum realm, unlike the Prince and Bill Clinton. He can be both there as a pedophile molester, and not there at all. Justice Kavanaugh is drafting a new Major Quantum Issues Doctrine to provide a legal framework to acquit the President (if necessary).

Democrats want to keep Pete Hegseth's wife out of top-secret military meetings, despite knowing full well that she's the one who prevents him from drinking or abusing women. Remember that the next time they claim to care about national security.

Quantum is amazing. I probably understand it better than anyone. It is like my quantum brain, such a powerful brain. When I give a speeches (huge crowds) and I have a thought, a beautiful thought, then that thought disappears into the quantum realm, and I start a new thought, and poof. It’s amazing.

If I’ve been following a news source for a long period of time, and they make a statement that is inconsistent with my values, I let them know it when I unfollow them. For example I unfollowed a journalist who seemed to go on the defensive about Netanyahu’s excessive brutality in Gaza, and said so.

If Israeli voters choose “prosperity over religious zealotry,” Israel could “reinvent itself and build on its solid foundations,” writes Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid.

After two years of growing isolation and endless war, an alternative future is possible.

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

Hi All, Just sent out my free weekend updates. This was the week when the Trump administration once again blocked the two most effective sanctions it could bring against Russia (Graham-Blumenthal and aid for Ukraine's ranged campaign). open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

I can’t wait for the media to tell us in 2029 all about Trump’s steep cognitive decline and psychosis while he was president, with numerous examples that they just discovered through extensive research and sourcing.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
