They’re obsessed with what their leader cares about. I bet they ain’t got a lick of sleep since that Iran news came out. He has been on a warpath about it.

This is generally how I feel about the "free buses" idea. If Mamdani tries and only gets, say, 10 free bus routes and has to compromise by instead providing dedicated bus lanes and other things that improve service, that's a win! We should want elected officials to attempt bold things.

The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.

If you are not alarmed at the type of thing these people now feel 100% comfortable saying out loud that they would have been scared to type into a group chat 10 years ago for fear that anyone might ever see it, I don't know what to tell you.

Biden strongly opposed resettlement of Vietnam war refugees in the 1970s! There's a reason he was by far the last choice for immigration advocates in the 2020 primary. He was terrible on immigration because he doesn't like (non-white) immigrants and he never has!

The standard play for Dems to show they are strong on immigration was to say "Well look, the fascists have some great points and god I'm so angry at them for refusing to pass our half-fascist immigration bill!" This radiates weakness, not strength.

✋ Former State Department war powers lawyer here. Some problems with the Speaker's remarks: --executive branch (even under Trump 1.0) has long treated the WPR as constitutional --some of the post-WWII military actions he refers to (eg Iraq, Afghanistan) had congressional war authorizations 1/n

Let's review: 1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon 2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke 4. Trump bombed Iran anyway 5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities 6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

The current administration has more successfully destroyed US science and the scientific enterprise than the hypothetical nuclear weapons program in Iran.

Anybody watching this Trump program knows that it’s all fiction & performance. His “instincts;” his “deal-making;” his status as “the ultimate CEO.” It’s utter fiction. It’s awful that media figures w/a reasonable level of sophistication pretend that the silly stories from Trump camp are credible.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Another example of the right wing media machine selectively presenting and then twisting “evidence” into their strategic frames. This is how they work ALL THE TIME. As soon as an event happens, it’s all hands on deck to assemble evidence to fit their frames.

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.
