The New York Times reports Jonathan Braun—a violent felon with ties to Jared Kushner, whose sentence Trump commuted—has been sent back to prison after new charges, including assaulting a 3-year-old. In court, he ranted about his lawyer and flipped off spectators. His fifth arrest.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

I also think a lot of people had an idea of what an undocumented immigrant was and it wasn't the owner of their favorite restaurant or their dry cleaner or their little league coach. For safety, even before this, people don't talk about their status

Allow me to invite you to remember how the 🇦🇫 withdrawal was covered, as a nonstop, weeks-long scandal, as the Republican president who just did this gets off completely with absolutely no front page media coverage. Once again, the media knows how to make something a scandal when they want to.

It's almost enough to make you think that the reason so many prominent Dems proudly & theatrically surrendered on immigration is that they secretly share the xenophobic impulses of right-wingers, but are ashamed of them, so they need a permission structure.

One of the (many) lessons of Zohran's race for liberals and socialists: the left can lead the coalition when it has a candidate who is disciplined and strategic about what it takes to do so. Zohran carried NYC liberals because he sought to build a majoritarian coalition with them.

One thing the Obama transition got wrong was thinking—once in office, policy differences aside—everyone would be pulling in the same direction. And then Republicans spent inauguration eve planning to oppose literally everything the new admin would attempt. Why do I bring that up here? Oh, no reason.

Tax authorities in most of our peer countries do tax returns for their residents and just send a bill/refund. The USA has entrenched rent-seeking industries who have spent decades conflating "freedom" with "spending $1000s on CPAs every year"

The American people strongly oppose Miller and Trump’s Nazi raids on and treatment of immigrants. Democrats are just sitting on their hands, with some noble exceptions, because they got convinced the public wants this. We don’t. Dems must resist.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

If you go through the effort of moving to a foreign country and jump all of the hurdles to become a voting citizen, that's sort of a you-problem if you're too embarrassed to vote or run for elected office.

80-90% of polled voters say Direct File is a good thing. It is quite literally one of the most popular government programs in America. If Democrats cared more about winning than making their donors happy, they could win 8-10 House seats next year just with ads showing off this tweet.
