So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.
I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

The Heritage president’s announcement should make perfectly transparent that Project Esther and the weaponization of antisemitism have nothing to do with Jewish safety, or antisemitism. It's about dismantling liberal democracy and making all of us, including Jews, less safe.

Again, not the most important here, but I'm begging for a journalist to figure out how/why NPS put up a Confederate statue DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. How is this "essential" when food stamps are not?
Feels symbolic that a Confederate statue first installed in 1901, at the peak of the consolidation of the Jim Crow system—when the states of the former Confederacy were in the midst of revising their constitutions to disfranchise Black citizens—has been reinstalled.

This is an excellent point. Zohran ran a textbook campaign that the centrists are always talking about, just talking about rent control and free buses and cost of living, and the centrist Dems tried to make it all about Israel/Palestine and other identity issues (his Muslim faith) to smear him.
centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.
