If you are searching for hope, consider that no amount of $ could make the people of NJ like Josh Gottheimer.

I was pretty sympathetic to Dem electeds taking conservative stances on immigration in order to win elections given where public opinion has been. But also it seemed pretty obvious that thermostatic backlash would come on the issue given how evil the GOP is and how much they seem to delight in it.

This is honestly the thing that made me pretty down on Zohran from the beginning.

I'm not joking when I say I prefer Eric Adams to Andrew Cuomo. Adams we got City of Yes, Jess Tisch is as good an NYPD commissioner as we could reasonably hope for. Rikers not fully in his control anymore.

I wrote two posts in various places about Ange in the past weeks. Ange in and out cases are pretty easy! I think Frank will probably be better than Ange in median outcome, and I wanted to stick with Ange because I liked the guy and sports are about more than median point expectations.

Here's a thing I truly believe we should do anyway that maybe we can convince Trump to do now: the government should eminent domain Starlink.

Insofar as this is true and I have no reason to doubt it, doesn't it also just mean there's a big GDP growth impulse fading away? Nominal GDP tracks nominal employment income really strongly!

In my opinion Elon Musk should fund primary opponents who support cutting Medicaid in swing seats to punish squishy Republicans for their big spending ways

Exactly this. You can’t win if you’re not in the final two. You won’t be in the final two if you don’t get ranked first enough. There are 4 candidates in the center left lane splitting votes. Congrats on all your second and third ranks

Seems relevant to Discourse about Democrats supposedly abandoning trans people. They're not even abandoning trans prisoners

Not the most important thing right now, but Iran has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and both Libya and Sudan have a decent chance to qualify as well. How can this country host a World Cup when they are barring travel from this many countries, let alone participants?

I like this because it’s a totally legitimate question. Also the biggest fights I remember my parents having were about navigating Boston with a map the year my dad was on sabbatical in the middle of the big dig.

This is an @themlg.bsky.social point but one possible reason young men are losing their minds is for the first time and all at once they're being subjected to the insane levels of objectification and self-image destruction women have been subjected to for ages.

www.politico.com/news/2025/06... The Working Families Party is beyond useless and doesn't even have a sense of self-preservation. They did a poll last month that found that Andrew Cuomo would lose to Adrienne Adams head to head but that Zohran would lose to Cuomo and endorsed Zohran.
