This is why Hakeem and Gillibrand and the party line Dems and consultants hate Zohran. They say they want a "Joe Rogan of the left" and it's clear that the Dems do not need that at all. Zohran fucks up the whole grift game. He's pulling back the curtain and they're scared shitless.

One of our most serious constitutional historians plausibly argues "the phrase constitutional crisis no longer describes our situation. The Constitution has failed, and we no longer know which institution will rescue it." Read this piece. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

A week later, still seething about the odious rhetorical angle billionaire-owned outlets chose for their Skrmetti postmortems: story after story criticizing plaintiffs for challenging the law at all. What were they supposed to do? What was the alternative, exactly? newrepublic.com/article/1972...

ICE already can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Mamdani on "globalize the intifada": "That's not language that I used. The language that I used and the language that I will continue to use to lead the city is that which speaks clearly to my intent, which is an intent grounded in a belief in universal human rights."

republicans operate according to a moral economy where wealthy oligarchs and polluters deserve the collected prosperity of the nation because of their wealth. the job of the rest of us is to toil for their benefit.

This is not a coincidence. This is a concerted effort. This is a Dem establishment agreed-upon talking point. This is a very deliberate plan. “Use the Jews.”

Mamdani never used this phrase. It's just a smear. It's frankly astonishing to me that Democratic House members allow this dullard to continue leading them.

SCOTUS just abolished birthright citizenship, the same way upholding SB 8 abolished abortion rights prior to Dobbs. The train is already off the tracks. Perhaps they restore it after watching this play out. But we've seen enough to know they're not good & rational judges upholding their duties.

Also the entire news media. There's really not that many Democrats on the anti-Mamdani beat but curiously virtually all of them are getting prime slots on cable news shows as if they speak for all Democrats. It makes you think!

to make a finer point: if the issue of nationwide injunctions reached the Court maybe half a dozen times in a few years, and they let them stand every time but one, is the rule really that nationwide injunctions are disfavored?

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

There is a big distance between “universal injunctions should be granted sparingly” and “no universal injunctions even if government acts in ugly & unlawful ways in areas where uniformity is essential, individual litigation is impossible, the stakes are high, and the issue is a pure legal question.”

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...

taking this moment, between the terrible supreme court opinions, the concentration camps, and the bill in the senate, to go on tour of cable news to trash the dem nominee for mayor of nyc, and to do it while lying about him and peddling in obvious islamophobic rhetoric…it’s truly black pilling

I'm OK with Democrats going on Fox News to counter misinformation and debate the conservative hosts or moderators. Going on Fox News to slam another Democrat should get you stripped of your committee assignments and DCCC funding.

Incredible that Very Serious People are decrying proposals that Zohran Mamdani didn’t run on. His rent freeze pledge is only for NYC’s rent stabilized apartments—a tiny fraction of housing inventory. He never proposed rent control.

I have serious, possibly irreconcilable differences with anyone who thinks Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC mayoral primary is a bigger threat to the Democratic Party than the shit being churned out by the Neo-Confederates on the Supreme Court

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Everyone talks about Fox News. Far fewer people talk about Sinclair Broadcast Group, which has gobbled up TV stations across the country - often multiple stations in a single market (thanks Clinton). They're just as bad about the right-wing propaganda on local news.

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen

Just to be clear; when you put this way, it suggests the Roberts Court amended the American Constitution yesterday to eliminate a tool courts have used to rein in executive overreach, and chose to do so right now in order assist the consolidation of a reactionary dictatorship.

The fact that right immediately went to “DEI” route to attack KJB’s dissent underscores the malicious intent which is the core of those meritless attacks. KBJ’s dissent is powerful and now essential for the long game. Barrett’s petty attack on her opinion shows that fear.
