So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

Zohran Mamdani Says He’s a Democratic Socialist. What Does That Mean?

Most of the ideas mentioned in this article—higher minimum wage, free tuition at public colleges, higher taxes on the rich—are not only popular now but were realities in the past, including in NYC, during the booming postwar years, when America was “great.”/1

There are no words for how evil this is

The average income of the top 5% is $526,000. Trump cut their taxes by 2.5%. Their current tax rate is 23%. Trump killed 600,000 people and gutted our government in order to save people making $526,000 an extra tax burden of $13,000.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Like is this just rage bait

Batshit insane. Get a load of this asshole

The blue aura around Mamdani means he could’ve activated his special attack at any moment during that speech, but he didn’t even have to.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Someone who had been threatening to kill Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) was arrested today after trying to enter the Capitol complex after telling Garcia's office he was coming to kill him.

Do not for one second believe that Californians are united behind Newsom as a presidential candidate regardless of our support for prop 50

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

aim for the jugular

screeshot 1/2 Finally, in California, residents will consider Proposition 50, the redistricting measure designed to counteract GOP efforts to steal the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms. Control of the House is important to block further attacks on reproductive freedom. After President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional map to favor the GOP, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a referendum on letting the legislature temporarily redraw congressional maps. (The task is usually left to an independent commission.) More Republican-led states are following Texas’ lead, and if Democrats don’t fight fire with fire, the House could have the votes to pass a national abortion ban after 20 weeks, or even earlier. In addition, friendlier districts could shield members of Congress from accountability for passing a bill “defunding” abortion providers that Trump signed on July 4.

screenshot 2/2: A House with more comfortable margins for the GOP could pass another “defund,” possibly for more than just one year as in the current law. Planned Parenthood warned that kicking its affiliates out of Medicaid could lead to 200 clinics closing across the country, many in states where abortion is still legal. Planned Parenthood has called this federal funding exclusion a “backdoor abortion ban” because the procedure would still be legal on paper but much less accessible. That’s why Planned Parenthood Action Fund, local affiliate advocacy groups, and Reproductive Freedom For All are pulling out the stops for Prop. 50.

If California voters fail to pass Prop 50, the GOP could steal enough House seats to pass a nationwide abortion ban after 20 weeks, overriding state laws. Don't expect the Senate filibuster to save us—they might nuke it to end the shutdown

is this good

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Holy fucking shit

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
