for days we got the "Showdown with Socialism" buildup only to get the payoff of Trump essentially saying "wow this socialist guy fuckin rules. I, on the other hand, am a fascist". what a country. what an era

Trump: anything else pal?

Zohran: I dunno you want to sink the GOP nominee for governor?

Trump: no problem!
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

One thing that makes good journalists like Dave Weigel good journalists is that they consume a lot of news, and not just the slice they're covering. There are so many pieces to so many stories out there that reporters who don't do this often miss.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social
Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Looks like Democrats have once again brought a fluffy bunny to a knife fight with the GOP. I wonder why Republicans assume they will wipe the floor with Dems when it all goes down?

look, this is not how I would have played it, I've posted 'retire bitch' about Schumer repeatedly, but objectively speaking it has worked

"we're offering you an incredible good deal and you repeatedly spit in our faces" is part of why Trump is taking the blame for this
