The only newsworthy items from the NYT hit on Mamdani are:

1. NYT reporters are apparently chummy with white nationalists who spout eugenics

2. NYT editors apparently believe their peers are trolls like Chris Rufo

3. NYT "standards" for using hacked materials are not actually followed

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push β€œZohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or β€œZohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

Chuck Schumer says Democrats will force the Republicans' 940-page bill to be read out loud on the Senate floor.

"Republicans won't tell America what's in the bill. So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor. We will be here all night if that's what it takes to read it."

Justice Department abruptly fires 3 prosecutors involved in Jan. 6 criminal cases, AP sources say The Justice Department has fired at least three prosecutors involved in U.S. Capitol riot criminal cases, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The guy who ran on β€œlaw and order” just fired more attorneys who prosecuted people for assaulting police officers.

This administration doesn’t give a damn about the law or law enforcement. It’s all politics. What a dangerous farce.

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the streetβ€”we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable.

REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party.

Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.

Matt Walsh told Joe Rogan it was millions. In reality the numbers are miniscule, and parents are involved.

But this is what Republicans want you focused on β€” as they cut taxes for the rich, health care and food for the poor, and privatize everything for their donors.

You can’t trust a news agency that doesn’t have its reporters’ backs. You have to assume they’re meddling with coverage of the admin in other ways. ABC is toast.

β€œI would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. β€œI think that's not particularly controversial.”

Opinion | At least in the court of public opinion, Abrego GarcΓ­a gets a hearing Even there, the president is offering only flimsy evidence and exaggerated claims.

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face.

After months of ignoring our Constitution, it seems the Trump Administration has relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This has never been about the man β€” it’s about his constitutional rights and the rights of all.
