They already are in Richmond. "She's the same thing as Mamdani in New York, except that Mamdani at least admits that he's a socialist," said Bryce E. Reeves, a Republican state senator, who said he would give Ms. Spanberger "an F for working across the aisle right now" because "none of my colleagues have seen her." Told of Mr. Reeves's remarks, Ms. Spanberger reached across her desk for her cellphone and began scrolling through past messages from him.

"I'll find out about that."

If I know it he knows it.

Oliver Darcy's Status:

Ah, you beat me to it.

Serious question: Would you turn in your own cousin for a crime like this without evidence? Because I'm pretty sure even if JB suspected his cousin was raping children he would need evidence.

Again, I'm right here raising my hand.

This is weaponizing the very decency that made the Minnesota Resistance possible. It’s grotesque.

He keeps propping up conservative economies so they don’t look like failures

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand

it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating
