The main lessons to me of Mamdani’s win: 1. Democratic voters really are fed up with their fossilized, incompetent establishment. 2. Housing is by far the number one issue, and if you want to beat that establishment, own the housing issue by pledging to make it easier to build housing of all kinds

have the people who thought Cuomo would win because "I stand with Israel" was the top issue for NYC Dem primary voters considered that maybe they are trapped in an information bubble by getting their news through a social media platform that isn't representative of reality?

I think we need to end the Kike “saving” arms experiment. All he does is give up a ton of runs and then make the innings higher stress innings for the staff in the end.

California cannot be a refuge for people fleeing repression when an apartment costs three thousand dollars a month.

One bad Trump thing is not a distraction from another bad Trump thing. The cacophony of multiple bad Trump things at once is one single thing. It is not possible to get everyone to focus on one part of that chaos, since all the bad parts are bad enough to merit attention, and the chaos is the thing.

Instead of a double play with none on, we now have no outs with 1st and 2nd. Edman is sure handed usually, but that play has GOT to be made

There's nothing immutable about the existence of ICE. It was founded in 2003. U.S. agencies carried out immigration enforcement and border controls before it was formed. Given the evidently lawless way its agents keep acting, one can see the case for its dissolution growing.

If these supposed federal ICE agents refuse to wear identification, according to the right, would I not be a “good guy with a gun” if I intervene to save someone from abduction? Is this not what they have cried about for decades for why we need the 2A?

I love Kiké but he’s basically a replacement level player right now. Bat and defense both are below par

I can't believe the United States suffered a political assassination on Saturday, and all that's left of that story on Tuesday is calling out Mike Lee for being an unfeeling monster. The USA has a huge political violence problem, completely incompatible with a functioning democracy.

As someone who was involved in some of the discussions around this mess, it is as bad as it sounds, maybe even worse. Wiley has gone PCI-hostile based on completely incoherent arguments.

Also, the way that every event, no matter how shocking or horrible or unprecedented, gets fed into the far-right social media hallucination machine, and twisted beyond recognition until it supports the far-right's own nonsensical worldview, is the very core of why we are where we are as a society.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Everyone tormented by these assholes is just acceptable collateral damage. If they round up, detain and traumatize 15 people and it turns out only 1 was undocumented, they would call that a success. There is no cost too high for fascists.

This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals. They just don't like international trade. Period. He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."

Incredible stuff here. Massive day for Ukraine using what sounds like innovative methods that signal a new frontier in modern warfare

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

I'd add: eliminate parking minimums. Otherwise this is a good list.
