We needed research on this?
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

We have to not be sick of hearing it. It can’t be normal.
Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.
For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Epstein built an empire of abuse and a whole lot of people just sat in silence and didn’t say anything.
The epidemic of violence against women is constructed on a foundation of enabling and turning a blind eye.
This post is about the reporters who said nothing when their peer was called ‘Piggy’

What the fuck, America? I ask every day.

Over 1,000 young girls were raped, sexually abused, & victimized by very powerful men. Over many years. Those young girls are the ONLY victims in this horrible story.

Heartbreaking and infuriating. Especially as the man most responsible is now, obscenely, about to be a trillionaire, something that should not even exist.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Exactly this! He moved through the city with curiosity, passion and JOY, and that was a powerful counter to the "cities are hellscapes" messages from Trump and friends. Cities are great!
One last thing, I guess, about Zohran. Cities are under constant attack from MAGA. And Zohran's campaign felt like a love letter to cities: the pluralism, the communities, the neighborhoods, the activism, the people, and the culture that makes cities great. It was NY but could have been anywhere.

There is no real rift in the Dem party. There is ratfucking by elite media
The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.
