Trump is blowing up our international relations and sending death squads to American cities. The correct messaging for a mayoral campaign isn't going to be the same as for midterm elections.
The pivot from "Mamdani is a political genius for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" to "Schumer is a political moron for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" is odd.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.
