The level of abuse of government resources involved here, of defamation and politicization, is unprecedented.
Really do need Slotkin and Kelly to file defamation lawsuits against the various government officials making these statements, if only for the discovery of partisan plotting here.

This is a centrist proposal - but it's one most "centrists" oppose because what makes most Democrats "centrists" is having extremist positions defending corporate interests that the majority of Americans oppose.

Chi Osse @chiosse.bsky.social slamming Hakeem Jeffries for feeding MAGA corporate propaganda attacking socialists in the Democratic Party and abroad.
A majority of Jeffries district voted for a socialist for mayor - so maybe Jeffries should look for a different job.

It won't be humiliating for Ukraine if forced to agree to Trump's plan. When there is a gun pointed to your head, you do what you need to do.
If Ukraine is forced to sign it, it's humiliating for Europe that they didn't step up to confront Trump & help Ukraine on their own.

Democrats should make clear that Paramount's Ellison will be indicted the minute Democrats take back the Presidency for engaging in this kind of quid pro quo bribery.
Completely illegal to offer political favors to a President in exchange for government approval of a merger.

New York City generates $1.3 TRILLION in economic activity every year.
Mamdani's agenda requires an additional $0.007 trillion annually be spent on child care, transit & affordable housing
If that looks like a rounding error, that's because it is.

He needs Gov Hochul and Assembly Speaker Hestie to help him pass state legislation - and Hestie explicitly conditioned supporting Mamdani on not endorsing challenges to other Democrats.
Looks to be pretty explicit quid pro quo for getting legislation passed.

Maxwell clearly has blackmail against Trump.
That should be headline news every day until that blackmail is explained.
Trump likely being a pedophile is terrible. Trump being blackmailed by Maxwell - and likely by Putin as well - over his connection to Epstein is a national security threat.

Want to know what happens when a center-left party throws trans people and immigrants under the bus?
Look at Britain and you see the result. Conservative voters didn't fall in love with Starmer for it- but his own base despises him for it. And the fascist party just gets stronger.

So Trump can hand $50 million - or $50 billion I guess - to anyone who files a lawsuit against the federal government - and then Trump can "settle the case" and hand them money without a Congressional vote to allocate the money.
Trump demonstrates what a piece of crap our Constitution is every day.

When a politician puts a criminal back on the street - and they commit new crimes, that is usually headline news in our "law and order" press.
But pardoned J6 defendants commiting multiple crimes doesn't even merit a line on the front page of the NY Times.

At minimum, Trump was friends with a pedophile, knew he was a pedophile, covered up his crimes and lied to the American public about his knowledge of those crimes.

As this analysis highlights, disproportionate subsidies flow to the richest recipients from Health Savings Accounts.
The fact that the GOP keeps expanding them shows all their rhetoric about eliminating health care subsidies to the rich is a complete lie.

"reconstruction now appeared likely to be limited to the Israel- controlled area."
So Palestinians will be permanently confined to tent cities while Israel builds luxury beach developments for Jewish settlers - and for Trump-sanctioned investors no doubt.

With Tuesday’s election, window for dramatic change may be opening. Mamdani’s triumph has potential to be not just a local event but catalyst for broader political realignment in New York. Several converging forces could make progressive breakthrough possible – even likely – in the coming years. /8
