Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

Wise investment advice from the president. Take your fake money to the casino and simply double it. Thank you sir
When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

He could write a column that is a cautionary tale about how HE needs to get out of his own bubble. Perhaps to touch grass and recognize that the vast majority did not know who the hell Charlie Kirk was and as has been demonstrated, already forgotten him.

Good. Instead of counting on the MSM to do the job for you, all of the Democrats at all levels on politics should be putting out their own media.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Saddest thought of the day: I genuinely can't tell if Trump turned up the crazy dictator knob today because he's feeling cornered or if it's a planned misdirection from Bondi trying to shove 24 TB of Epstein files data into a box with "ongoing investigation" frantically scrawled on it.

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures
The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.
