Rep. Seth Moulton the admin's briefing on Trump's boat strikes: "I found their justification for what they're doing so flimsy that it makes the case for the Iraq War look like a slam dunk. It was that bad."

One of the Most Dangerous Interviews Ever in MAGA Media Why Tucker Carlson platformed white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

"Suddenly, nothing—including the racism, Holocaust denialism, and antisemitism Fuentes has championed—seems to be too hot for MAGA media to embrace" —@willsommer.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/one-of-the...

Speaker Johnson: “If we had a contingency fund for SNAP we’d use it.”

REALITY: There is one, Trump literally just deleted it off the USDA site 🤷🏼

Mamdani will win by double digits. It won't even be close.

Unitary executive for me; major questions for thee

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.

For the record, the Kaiser Family Foundation has NOT retracted it‘s prediction. Oz was either mistaken, or, more likely, lying.

John Roberts betrayed America long before Trump came along and he did it for White Nationalism.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Gather round kids: Once upon a time, when a political lie was really clearly and conclusively debunked, political actors would tend to stop repeating it. One of Trump's big insights was that... you can just keep saying it. The press eventually gets bored of pointing out the same lie.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.


BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

The majority of white women voters also went for Trump.

Speaking to reporters after the paint and pour, Mamdani dismissed the idea that he wouldn't have a mandate to enact his agenda if he wins the Nov. 4 election without at least 50% of the vote.

"Winning this race in and of itself is a mandate to deliver for New Yorkers," he said.

Would be sweet if Mamdani could double Cuomo's vote count.

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

Trump bungled China policy so badly he had to run to Xi to beg forgiveness and surrender. Everyone knows it. In the "deal", America gets nothing, not even a return to status quo.

Trump has now totally abandoned his promise to "get tough" on China.

“.. Mr. Xi’s message seemed to be: Beijing had proven its capacity to hit back and Washington would do well to remember it.”

Three people familiar with the situation told Semafor that Hurley reached out to an email address the reporter believed belonged to the former mayor of New York. It's unclear where he got the address, or who it actually belongs to. In a state nent shared with outlets including Semafor, a News UK spokesperson blamed the debacle on whoever that email address belongs to, saying the paper had "apologised to Bill de Biasio and removed the article immediately after discovering that our reporter had been misled by an individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor."

Part of the push came from the top. As the New York mayor's race approaches, The Times of London has accelerated its push for more, and largely hostile, coverage of Mamdani. That campaign has been driven internally by Margi Conklin, a New York Post veteran who was most recently managing editor at The Free Press, and who assigned the de Blasio piece, per two people with knowledge of the situation.

This colossal Times of London/de Blasio screwup gets more amazing at every turn.

North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."
