When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee.

Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

This is an attempt to distract us from what is happening right here at home.

If you’re among the groups they’ve been attempting to purge from the armed forces, resign.

Let them have it.

Real world:
- Trump team trying to create a Reichstag moment.
- Trump telling military audience that LA is hellhole full of "animals"
- Officials in Calif trying both to calm things down, and stand up

PUNDIT world:
- Is it smart politics?
- Is Gavin running?
- Doesn't Trump look strong!

But also, this goes back to the fact that people weren't scared enough of the prospect of him being reelected. A lot of "but he can't really DO that..."

Turns out, the stove was hot.

America, you f**ked up!

She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.

Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

People are saying that there looks to be a turnout surge in Wisconsin for the judicial election so just remember that if you're in line by 8:00 pm, STAY IN LINE.

Get out there and show Elon that your vote is not for sale. :)

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Just called @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov to tell them that the bar for my vote and dollars is being set right now by @booker.senate.gov. If @schumer.senate.gov isn't willing to support the baseline of action we should expect, he should be removed as leader. I urge you to the same.

Sen. Cory Booker's marathon speech on the Senate floor won the floundering Democratic Party something it has desperately needed in the Trump era: attention and the applause of its base.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen
