The reason this ad works is not just that it appeals to a lot of Americans, but that Mallory looks and sounds like someone who genuinely cares about this.

We need more relatable and authentic candidates. Mallory is that.

Elizabeth Warren on Why Billionaires Are Doing All They Can to Stop Zohran Mamdani Elizabeth Warren explains why billionaires are boosting Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo to keep Zohran Mamdani from becoming New York City's mayor.

At @rollingstone.com, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social lays out the stakes of our election.

"It turns out there are some billionaires and Wall Street CEOs who can’t stand the idea of a mayor who wants them to pay their fair share to create a city that everyone can afford."

Donald, the Call Is Coming From Inside the House β€œSenior administration officials” are leaking to the press. The polls on the Epstein saga are terrible. The coverup is unraveling.

"Close observers of the WH attempts to get out from under the Epstein-files controversy will have noticed a basic symmetry: The worse the Epstein revelations, the wilder the distractions issued to try to get the MAGA faithful to look literally anywhere else."

The problem with having snap tariffs on complex supply chains is that it actually incentivizes offshoring production.

If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes.

I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

A few things are clear from this:
1. Trump has lost control of the narrative.
2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files.
3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries.
4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as β€œa spat” between Don & Rosie

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

Trump and Noem fired the people who answer the emergency phone line.

It’s not really incompetence because they know what they are doing. They are intentionally breaking government - even the parts that help us when we are deep in crisis.
