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

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

They should also continue to fight because whatever they agree to will not be upheld by the regime.

The regime illegally reappropriated funds approved by the LAST Congress, and then ignored court orders telling them to stop.

This is fascism.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

The vote result of whether Tesla can invest in xAI wasn't announced?

This was more important than Musk's pay package (which he got), and is why Tesla's stock is struggling in the after hours.

xAI should burn ~2x 2025's $13BN in 2026. Musk may have to sell shares to fund this if it's voted down.

Good to know because people are losing their minds over the stay.

Notice how MSM didn't bother to explain. 👀

If it works out that SNAP benefits do ultimately get out faster and a decision by the full SC (owned by Trump) is avoided it’s a true win-win. People get the help they need and Trump is on record asking the SC to allow him to starve people.

This. It *has* to be done but we don’t need to forget who is the actual culprit.

She is mitigating damage by controlling the speed. It’s a shit sandwich but we are playing defense against crazy people

It makes sense, it's just deeply fucked up the president ordered it up to SCOTUS in the first place, knowing his 6 bought justices would side with him.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Complete list of every player in MLB history to have 52+ home runs, 18+ stolen bases, and 4+ triples in one regular season:

the beech woods keep calling me...

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

The Dawn of a Better Day Working-class New Yorkers topple a political dynasty and elect Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani.

Last night, Zohran Mamdani told his victory party, “Let the words we’ve spoken together, the dreams we’ve dreamt together, become the agenda we deliver together.”

@lfelizleon.bsky.social writes on how New Yorkers toppled a political dynasty, electing Democratic Socialist Mamdani as mayor.

A Next-Generation Victory for Democrats Tuesday’s elections were often described as a contest between the far left and center—but what united the winning candidates may be even more significant for the Party’s future.

The winning campaigns of Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherrill, and Zohran Mamdani suggest the themes that might help renew the Democratic Party—and their margins of victory offer hope for a strong midterm. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/a-next-generation-victory-for-democrats

Mainstream media tried to scare Mamdami voters with socialism—it didn't work! TRNN was on the ground in New York City on election day speaking to voters.

The mainstream media said voters wouldn’t go for Mamdani and they said “socialism won’t sell.” But on the streets of New York, people were done listening to conventional wisdom.

Zohran Mamdani, now NYC mayor-elect, announces mainstream transition team. Who's on it? The 34-year-old democratic socialist’s team includes familiar faces for New Yorkers. He must now navigate New York's notoriously provincial politics.

In his first hours as New York City's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani has signaled his intention to reassure a nervous political establishment that he is bringing experienced operators into his administration.

Angelina Jolie visited #Kherson, a #Ukrainian city which is constantly shelled by Russian war criminals who hunt people from drones and engage in human safaris.

A great person.

Bravo! 💙

WAY TO GO CALIFORNIA!!!
We Did it!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy.

Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."
