i will go to work for the government if this occurs simply because someone has to
The simple answer is that we rebuild the federal bureaucracy from close to scratch, after purging every single person brought in under MAGA hiring rules.
Perfectly possible, happened before. Would still suck along the way, but we'd get back to having an effective govt.

Being an American civil servant in 2029 will quite possibly suck shit, and I cannot wait to be one.

I would probably be less horrified at people naming their kids things like Bryyan if they could actually articulate why they put two ys in there and no "i liked it" doesn't seem like a good reason.

"Is Dinald Trump the Anti-Christ (Secular?)" Is one of the most important questions of our time.
chuck schumer is a very nice man and even his personal, soul-deep belief that the only reason someone could oppose israel is antisemitism only manifests as mild annoyance. i don't know that he actually believes in evil.
i think "chuck schumer personally does not really think that donald trump is his enemy for this reason" is a perfectly respectable theory

USAID is still gone, no other country has shown either the will or the ability to fill in the services whose disappearance is going to kill millions of people, and no one in the media or political class cares that we are going to kill more people than the Holocaust before this is over 👍

Also worth repeating: Mamdani's greatest power isn't something just anyone can learn or emulate. He's got an entire PHILOSOPHY and MORAL CORE based on care over punishment that informs everything he says and does. Without that, the charisma means nothing.

This is absolutely Mamdani's not-so-secret secret power: he knows who he is and what he believes and he wants to help ALL of us. So you can't trip him up with a trick question; you can't get a fake note out of him. BECAUSE HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE AND HE'S DONE THE READING AND HE'S HERE FOR US.

I'll go further and say that if you report the "Senate data" provision as being about Jack Smith you are actively lying to your readers. it is a bipartisan pro-corruption law that more or less confers immunity from corruption prosecutions on all 100 senators whether they want it or not.
this is being reported elsewhere as a sop to Republican senators angry about being investigated by Jack Smith but the language is honestly so much worse and so much broader than that.

"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
