Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."
Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?

“This country’s always been the country that gave people a chance . . . we wanted the best of everybody. It just seems like now, especially with this administration, it’s become almost, Not you, not you"

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

I want my party to win and succeed. Sometimes that means criticizing it and culling some members, but I love this party and nothing is more important to me than that

If Zohran makes it through the general (which is hardly guaranteed!), it’s crazy how important his mayorship becomes to the revival of the American left.
We have a chance to prove we can govern the most important city in the country. What a fucking opportunity.

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.
This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Portugal is taking online disinformation and fake news seriously. As part of a broader attempt to encourage media literacy, it’s offering 15-18 year olds a free digital subscription to a range of respected newspapers and magazines as well as online upstarts that don’t spread lies. (Monocle)

May we become a nation worthy of Rumeysa Ozturk's faith.
1. Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish doctoral student at Tufts, speaks after a federal judge ordered her release following her arrest by federal agents on the street.
She calls the United States “the greatest democracy in the world” and says she has “faith in the American justice system.”

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
