Cuomo's campaign is a conspiracy against the voters of NYC, to trick well-meaning liberals into electing a corrupt conservative. Ackman and his allies worked with the media to oust Claudine Gay from Harvard, and they're doing the same thing for electing Cuomo (inevitability narrative)

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

When I was a young man in Italy, I did something stupid, something I still regret and am ashamed of. I voted for Berlusconi. These were my first elections. Why am I saying this? Because so many young men voted for Trump, and it would be a mistake for the Dems to give up on them.

Which party turned out more in 2024? Official turnout records show registered Republicans had higher turnout rates than Democrats everywhere but DC (avg gap R+7 pts). That’s hard to square with the narrative that Democrats now benefit when fewer people vote.

The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.

This is what we've been hearing through the grapevine. Now they are saying it outright. The truth is that they can't make the math work without doing this. This will get them about 650 billion toward their 880 billion target. Interesting they are being cute here. "Technically we didn't cut.."

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.
