No, Pro-Trump Hackers Didn't Hack Zohran Mamdani's Election Night Party X is just a cesspool of disinformation at this point.

No, pro-Trump hackers didn’t hack Zohran Mamdani’s election night party

For the remarkable number of folks in excellent law firms, corporate suites, non-legal academia who still aren't really sure "where we are" country-wise, I'm just not sure how much clearer he can be. Countries in which opponents of the government can "never obtain power" are not democracies.

This man lives in a delusional fantasy and the press had half the country believing the other guy was out of touch.

What we know, 3pm on Wednesday:

[In 4 parts]

—CA's Prop 50 wins
—VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG
—Dems defend NJ-Gov
—Dems gain leg seats in VA & NJ
—Dems win NJ & VA trifectas
—Mamdani wins
—PA Dems win state supreme court
—ME anti-mail voting measure loses
—GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Trump's mouth is visibly drooping as he stands on stage

Gorsuch finally speaks, and oh yeah, he's against Trump. Alito also sounded skeptical, which is surprising to me. Regardless, there will plainly be a lopsided majority to strike down the tariffs.

The government better start working on its Plan B...

How many kids first experience of the state will be of masked men grabbing people?

Compagno: I woke up feeling so sad today but just praying a lot, knowing that God is in control and everything will be okay.

Mississippi Democrats Break Republican Senate Supermajority, Flipping 3 Legislative Seats After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the Mississippi Senate, flipping 3 legislative seats.

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the GOP's supermajority in the Mississippi Senate.

Voters reduced the number of Republican senators in the upper chamber from 36 to 34 — one fewer than necessary to constitute a supermajority.

“Trump’s approval is lower than any other recent president except himself.”

Josh Hawley says he supports ending the filibuster

So Schumer never did endorse, huh. Nor Gillibrand. Just irredeemable pieces of shit, the entire NY senate delegation

Man, if Dems cave right now...

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

I get the sense that many leading Democrats, in New York and elsewhere, don't really register the extent to which their brand of non-committal, finger-to-the-wind politics has fallen out of favor with voters.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

its so weird how i havent seen a single op-ed thats like "intentionally starving americans could prove problematic for gop midterm chances"

Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not 247 points by stillatit 10 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 200 comments Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link. I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation. Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after. [0] https://x.com/cjgbest/status/1985464687350485092 [1] https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1979994223224209709

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.

They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

He gave trillions in tax breaks to himself and his billionaire donors. 

He gave $40 billion to Argentina. 

But when it comes to feeding hungry Americans, he couldn't care less.

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

Trump just defied two judges and took complete ownership of the SNAP emergency in a single post.

Make no mistake: Trump is withholding YOUR MONEY to play political games and make Americans suffer more.

Good to know that Fox segments determine our foreign policy as well as domestic, and provide most of the cabinet appointees.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Hakeem Jeffries, with his David Cassidy eyes, is simply unsuited for his position. Bring back Jo-Anne Fabrics. He’d be so comfortable and confident amongst the colorful ribbon and soft yarn. He’s not meant for DC. He’s gentle, and lethargic and risk averse. He’d be everyone’s favorite shift leader.
