Asked why Chuck Schumer hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Ilhan Omar replies: "I really don't know — it makes no sense."

"In an election, we support our party's nominee. Schumer has pressured other Democrats to do just that, and he should be following his own advice."

Opinion | A Third Trump Term Is Not the Charm

this week's newsletter has a bunch of quotes from the drafters and supporters of the 22nd amendment that make it extremely clear that there is no loophole you can use to circumvent it. (gift link)

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Congressional Candidate Kat Abughazaleh Walked Off My Interview — Here’s What Happened

Today's winner of the "Please STFU" Award is Kat Abughazaleh.

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

Why do you give any publicity to a company whose owner is a fascist who supports an authoritarian govt that is wreaking havoc on US citizens?

Absolutely. Yes!!!

📌 Kudos Rachel Maddow for

Flesh looks disgusting to eat. 🤢🤮

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.
