Man, y'all gotta read this whole piece about a rally in San Antonio yesterday. Texas Democrats — led by big names — are organizing and moving away from DC and the DNC. And they're getting wild, cheering crowds.

Andrew Sullivan was a pioneer of reactionary centrism & remains a powerful reminder that that particular ideological tendency has always been intensely stupid.

oh yeah? well, have you considered that the reason it doesn’t look like an unqualified success is because you’re not covering it right?

I think what really scares establishment politicians on both sides about Mamdani is the idea that voters might be waking up to the fear-mongering grift. Fear is the primary means of control of public opinion and the electorate. More from the right than the left, of course, but both sides use it.

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who lied about his college major, who lied about graduate work at Dartmouth, who lied about his financial disclosures, who lied that he had been a cop, who lied he was an international sex crimes expert, and who knows what else -- is now spreading lies about other politicians too.

It's not just #NIH. It's not just #NSF. It's not just #NASA. The whole scientific community has to make clear that all science across fed agencies is being destroyed in the US. We can't just ask for our particular piece of the pie. The whole pie is being thrown out - saving your bit won't work.

There were a lot of people who backed Cuomo because they wanted him to win, but there were also a whole lot of people who supported him because they were afraid of what would happen to them if he won and they didn’t support him. Going to be interesting to see how many more of these come out.

Scanlon: They're flat out lying when they say they're just kicking undocumented immigrants off Medicaid because those folks were never eligible for Medicaid in the first place. The truth is Republicans know that kicking millions of Americans off of health insurance is unpopular.

“Disagree, perhaps, but within normal parameters.” This is the key thing. I totally get disagreeing with Mamdani about, say, free buses. That’s normal and fine. It’s the existential catastrophizing (fleeing NYC?) that seems overwrought.

The anger from my fellow free-marketeers over the grocery store thing feels wildly disproportionate. The cost seems minimal. If it fails, hey, go ahead and claim vindication But no one is suggesting taking over or closing existing grocery stores. Wegmans will still exist!

the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists say they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!

We may have rolled our eyes at the obvious manipulations in Bush’s prelude to war, but clearly taking the effort worked because he wasn’t looking at numbers anywhere near this at the start.

If I see another snarky “sTrOnGLy wOrDEd LeEtteR” post from a leftist troll I will fucking throw up. Letters are how the congressional record has been established since the birth of the nation. The Declaration of Independence was a goddamn strongly worded letter. It’s how shit gets done.

if a republican congressman rightly points out that what the president has done is blatantly unconstitutional, the president will post a middle school mean girl burn book entry about him on social media and try to unseat him by backing a primary challenger. that’s not a healthy party.

Summary of the Trump admin's comms: Iran may have nuclear weapons but our intelligence shows they do not but they probably do but we have the best intelligence in the world but our intelligence is probably wrong and we're not going to ask why our intelligence is wrong but it probably is.

You can make most every argument about how anything in history could have been done better but there is just no case that Achilles at Troy, Lincoln at Gettysburg, Truman after Hiroshima, or Churchill on D-Day would have been more effective by concluding:Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It is kind of darkly funny that Donald looked the American people in the eye and said “You know what? You people aren’t even worth the effort of selling the war,” and we looked him right back and said “Yes, you are absolutely right.”
