Democrats really do need to tighten up their messaging. Keep it simple, stupid.

"People are starving and he's getting a gold ballroom."

Jesus Christ.

Yeeeeeeaaaaah, that's some real "Let them eat McNuggies" energy.

The best part is that the rats feel comfortable enough now to leak this stuff to the media. The Trumperor has no clothes.

This is so ludicrously cringe that it loops back around to being funny.

That's devastating for Republicans, if it can be replicated elsewhere. Their hold on institutional power is rooted at ground level, in their control of school boards, town halls and statehouses.

What a bloodbath. The Republicans got absolutely trashed.

Not an atypical Trump response. "I didn't lose, it's just rigged against me." No leader in the history of the United States of America, save perhaps the Confederate secessionists, has been so manifestly poisonous to the Union as Trump.

This dovetails with what polling increasingly shows: The American people do not like Trump, do not like what he's doing to the country and do not like how far he's gone in pursuit of personal power. Trump's approval today nearly hits the lows he reached after the failed coup of Jan. 6, 2021.

Overall: In the first test of Trump's record, he and the Republicans got absolutely stomped tonight. Mamdani winning in New York is obviously the headliner, but Republicans got wiped out in every race of note. Just a complete rejection of Trump and Trumpists, from coast to coast.

Politics continue to politic politically. Trump's name isn't on the ballot, therefore the spell doesn't work this time. Normal rules still apply.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Turns out businesses need certainty and stability if they're going to hire. The same tariffs that are destabilizing the world are also destabilizing the United States. Only the AI bubble is keeping their economy going.

If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!

Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.

Meanwhile, the alleged peace president is conducting a shadow war on Venezuela while also preparing to invade Nigeria.

Nice to see the Vicar of Christ dunking on Internet tradcaths.

Trump's problem here is that, while he's badly losing his trade war with China, he's also alienating the allies he needs in order to build a rare earths supply line. Canada alone has enormous potential there. When we finally exploit it, who here will want to sell it to the Donald?

A year's reprieve on rare earths is chump change. Trump walked away virtually empty-handed.

What's needed to break Chinese dominance over rare earths is concerted action on behalf of the Western alliance. Countries like Canada and Denmark have huge untapped reserves that could be activated.

Again: Hungary needs to be kicked out of the EU and NATO. At this point Orbán is clearly operating as a Russian proxy within the Western alliance. No one should trust him.

If this had been Obama, it would be covered wall-to-wall on Fox for the next month and a half.

Worth noting that the "separate vaccines" thing was a complete fraud. He's speedrunning the Wakefield bullshit.

So we know now how Niagara Region will get a new chair: The Ministry of Municipal Affairs will appoint someone, but they haven't named who it will be yet.

We'll see if he keeps his foot on Putin's neck, or if he turns around in a week and decides Zelensky's the bad guy again.

To the heroes, glory.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah, you can't retroactively claim that a conversation is off the record. You make it clear first. This is just pure sloppiness on Halligan's part.

Stay fly and splash fash, hero of Ukraine.

I sometimes wonder what people who witnessed the rise of fascism in the 1930s and '40s would say about our current moment.

Emmett Finnie might just be the kind of late-round draft steal Detroit hasn't been able to get in a long time.
