Oh good I’m glad we got absolutely nothing AND are banning weed, somehow. How did you all manage to LOSE MORE????

Maybe if people think the Democratic Party is "weak" it is not because they think that Democrats "care about other people" but that they "fold every single time."

One of the Greatest Wall Street Investors of All Time Announces Retirement Nancy Pelosi’s trades over the years have been so good that a startup was created to allow investors to directly mirror her portfolio.

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.”

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Saying “we have to keep the status quo because the alternative is bad” ends up making people feel like you’re either gaslighting or out of touch, because the status quo actually sucks for a lot of people.

It’s going to look different in every place. It doesn’t have to be Mamdani. But a focus on kitchen table issues doesn’t mean just shouting “this other guy is gonna make your kitchen table issues worse!”

It means having a vision for a better future.

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for certain people to understand that Mamdani is doing so well because he is advocating for more than “keep Trump from taking the few good and/or semi-decent things that remain” and is articulating a real vision for how to make New York better.

I keep thinking about Zohran on some podcast being like “these billionaires are spending more money to defeat me than I would tax them” lmfao

LOUDER

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

― President Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969 in office)

The bigger loser of the night isn't just the Republican Party but the news media that continues to pander to them relentlessly to the point that they're not even reporting real news but imaginary news to placate them.

Stop reading them. Stop tuning into them. They're corporate hacks.

Turns out you can turn out people to vote if you give them someone worth voting for....

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Gut party leadership immediately, they do not win elections and they don't want to.

the fundamental confusion between 'democratic party policies' and 'things said by people on twitter, most of whom hated the democratic party' strikes again

It's a tragedy that Apple's whole reverse-tech-Reformation thing resulted in only a very small generational window of people who understand how computers Work and how to Fix Them

if this shooter winds up being a red-pilled groyper the Kirk newscycle length will be mysteriously cut from two months to two days

Genuinely starting to think that they know it's someone on the right.

It’s also worth noting that as soon as it became clear the Trump shooter had no real legible politics and certainly not from “the left” he completely vanished into anonymity. No one knows his name.

Remember: If it turns out he’s a leftist, that indicates a pervasive problem of violence on the left. If it turns out he’s a groyper, that means nothing whatsoever and he will disappear from the news cycle immediately.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Headline and lede from Time magazine (did not make the magazine cover) with a generic headshot of Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman that reads Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman Killed, FBI Hunt Suspect Jun 15, 2025 — Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed by an individual impersonating a police officer. -- Hortman was assassinated by a far right extremist along with her husband and dog. The man had a long list of Democrats he planned to kill, and was caught after shooting Minnesota Democrat John Hoffman and his wife Yvette who thankfully survived

Headline from time with a photo of Charlie Kirk at the event where he was murdered, smiling and waving at the crowd. The preview time has shared indicates that this will be the cover story of the next magazine. The headline reads The Killing of Charlie Kirk and the Political Violence Haunting America

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.
