Democrats could have gotten so so much from embracing Mamdani.

Terrible failure of leadership and vision.

GOURD TO CITY: DROP DEAD Trump defunds police and infrastructure for New York City, state, and other places that didn't vote for him precisely because they knew he'd pull this kind of shit

Usually I have some high-minded reason for pushing my reporting or commentary.

In this case I’m just immaturely tickled by my headline.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

This is the information that mainstream media needs to be reporting on. @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social does an excellent job of breaking it done nice and easy. So easy even MAGA could understand what the issue here is. Important parallels are drawn.

If Berntsen and Rodil seem like questionable intel sources...

…that’s why it’s important to know that this is where Trump got information that he's using to justify deporting and killing people.
