The job of a politician - who may or may not himself be despicable - is to deal with despicable people & get all he can from them. Mamdani has passed the first test.

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

Literally and figuratively, Trump is trashing the entirety of the White House’s East Wing
In July, the president said his ballroom project wouldn’t “interfere with” the current White House structure. So much for that idea.

Just watched Kelly Reichardt's Certain Women and now I need to 1) see Laura Dern in more movies and 2) need Jared Harris and Tracy Walter to play brothers in a film. And if any Hollywood producer is reading this, you could do a lot worse than casting Melissa Leo as Kaitlyn Dever's mom.

A pastor filmed a pro-LGBT video; he was fired.
He got involved in protests against Harrisburg's horrid local jail.
This year he ran for county commissioner. Spent little $ but hammered message that the jail is a horror space.
Then? He won, flipping his Pennsylvania county. What's next?:

Pastor and activist Justin Douglas will soon be plunged into an insider role, helping run the state’s capital county. Can he leverage his new power to change Harrisburg
