"I don't know Zohran Mamdani personally but I've known Brad Lander for years and he vouches for him, more importantly all of us are fully united against Donald Trump." is a quote multiple Democrats could have said but they decided to be Islamophobic instead. I'm actually pretty shocked.

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Hey Democrats, there is a very obvious solution to your problem with young voters: try fighting oligarchs instead of the left.

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

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.”

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Has the Wall Street Journal called disappearing people and building camps in swamps radical? Turning back the clock on medical research? Cutting off foreign aid, killing children? Turning the Oval Office into a bribe depository? Telling polluters to have at it? Any of that deemed radical?

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

We didn’t read about it. We opened the bag ourselves. We found the opioids inside the flour sacks. Yes, in U.S. backed aid. From the same entities that talk about values, and the same voices that sold these operations as humanitarian assistance.

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

The GOP bill is much worse for wind and solar than clean energy experts expected. Many were scrambling today to understand exactly what the additional tax on wind and solar means -- and how much it will slow investment. From me and Evan Halper: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The US Administration is about to open a new front in its across-the-board assault on international students. For the last half century, student visas in the US have been valid until graduation. The White House will soon force those visas to expire in 2 to 4 years, max. Why that's so harmful—>

You're in luck if you wanted to read a manual on how to disassemble America, sell it off for parts, and ensure decades of mass poverty, disease, climate disaster, and worsening education systems. Senate Republicans released such a document at midnight last night.

Worth noting that 1) this is an obvious case of imperial boomerang 2) this also emphasises how the US federal government is increasingly treating California as foreign territory to be occupied with unlimited violence

I once had a fight with my publisher's lawyer over what constitutes "fair use." He said reprinting 4 lines of a poem without the poet's explicit permission was too much. But AI gobbling up whole books now counts as "fair use." Something is definitely wrong with US copyright law.
