New in PN: Trump is clowning his evangelical base
"Trump now knows religious conservatives and their motivations well enough that he doesn’t feel a need to perform anymore. Like his supporters, he’s stopped pretending he’s anything but his worst self."

Part of what makes Mamdani so great is that he’s just like… a normal nice guy. He’s reacting like a human being. Too many politicians have faux culture war brain worms and it makes them weird and offputting.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

Compared to other candidates, our Q4 fundraising numbers show a campaign powered by people, not special interests.
Who would you rather have representing you, a candidate supported by self-funding, special interests and billionaire checkbooks, or one overwhelmingly supported by the people?

There are some non-MAGA SpaceX defenders so I just want to point out, with the SpaceX–xAI merger (for the purpose of "orbital data centers," no less), that the true mission of SpaceX is to produce nonconsensual porn and fascist propaganda. It is a net negative for humanity and should be destroyed.

Casual reminder that Elon bought Twitter, renamed it X, then spun off xAI from X, then had xAI buy X, which is now being bought by SpaceX.

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is:
The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
