Will this bear any fruit? I think we all probably know the answer will be no, but it is crazy to think what couldโve happened if Democrats brought this energy, leadership, and charisma to Trump when trying to negotiate the ACA benefits this past monthโฆ

22.11.2025 00:04 โ ๐ 12 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think weโre all healthily skeptical about 1) how serious Trump is about wanting to help Mamdani and 2) how much Mamdani wants help from a fascist would-be dictator, but today was truly remarkable.
Mamdani is one of the only real leaders we have in the country atm. Feckless Dems should take notes.
Every clip I've watched has been more insane than the last - this one's particularly remarkable because when asked "why do you think there's been more excitement around this meeting" Trump responds with a long monologue about how great and remarkable ZOHRAN is - not one single word about himself.
21.11.2025 22:50 โ ๐ 446 ๐ 73 ๐ฌ 25 ๐ 11Zohran walking into the Oval Office, focusing on his key policy platforms, and coming away with an unqualified win over Trump really puts into relief how bad the Democratic leadership is that it has been repeatedly rendered totally impotent and made to look like bumbling cowards by the Donald.

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.
I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime
I have actually said this before after working on this text for something and it was on my mind, and 10/10 it worked

Summers is gone.

Institutions that will not fire someone like Larry Summers are not institutions worth fighting for!

This shit economy has made things even harder for families with very little, and it probably doesn't affect you at all to buy a few things at the store. TJ Maxx/Marshals is a great place for discounted toys.

There are so many ppl who have so much, not just the millionaires & billionaires but ppl who live very comfortably, and they would never think about this every year like my parents did
