So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Republicans gonna grift.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Homeless shelter.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

While millions of Americans went hungry … the government thought it necessary to waste tax dollars prosecuting a man for throwing a sandwich.

They’re wasting money trying to determine if a sandwich can be a weapon.

A sandwich is a sandwich. You know what it can do?

Feed people. Let’s do that.

I’m looking forward to the complete damnatio memoriae when he’s dead.

Is Ross Douthat hoping to be crowned Incel-in-Chief? Just asking questions.

Was god’s aim a little off with his smiting?

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Did a piano fall on her head?

What exactly is conservative feminism?

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

unless we want to be right back here with a new wannabe dictator in a few years, we cannot let the energy behind last night's elections dissipate, nor can we let it be channeled into supporting the same exact politics that brought us here in the first place.

THIS IS SO GOOD

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Dick Cheney should've been prosecuted for the invasion of Iraq and it's a stain on the soul of humanity that he got to live out his life in comfort without ever being held to account for his crimes, I'll never not be angry that war criminals responsible for so much death never see justice.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

The blueprint for winning big on climate also came out last night. No more technocratic, policy wonk approaches. People showed they care about utility bills, free buses, affordable housing, etc. These are all climate issues. Talk about climate in terms people understand and experience.

We need more Mamdanis.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Shocking

He’s gonna stroke out. Or tear down the west wing.

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

I just want @attackerman.bsky.social to get to write so many more of these until “blistering review of the life of a socially accepted genocidaire” is a genre of obit

I make no claim to any particular expertise in this regard, but Good Things and Good People beating Bad People and Bad Things feels like the sort of thing you want to get excited about and the sort of thing definitely worth repeating.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.

But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.

The midterms are right around the corner.

Susan Collins bragging in her weekly newsletter about supporting the nomination of Joshua Dunlap to a federal appeals court seat. A progressive coalition of 20 Maine organizations opposed his nomination based on his opposition to abortion rights (among other things).

One significant difference between 2020 and now is that Susan Collins is basically no longer hiding that she's anti-abortion.

The only open question is whether Maine and beltway outlets will continue to tiptoe around this development. #MEpolitics
