i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

I know a thing or two about SNAP because President Biden appointed me to work in the office that oversees that program at USDA.
You should know that people are going to go hungry this month because the Trump White House deliberately chose to withhold their benefits.

This op-ed against redistricting from former Indiana Gov Mitch Daniels comes one day after Indiana Senate Republicans shared they did not have the votes to redraw maps this year.
"Their duty is to the citizens and the future of our state, not to a national political organization or a temporary occupant of the White House," Republican and former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels said. "And doing the right thing, by the way, really would be its own reward."
Opinion | I want the GOP to keep control of the House. But not this way.
My fellow Indiana Republicans shouldn’t cave to White House pressure to redistrict.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

i distinctly remember a decade+ ago when all the creative jobs started going out the window being told to “learn to code”
"Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1% and 7.5% respectively ...
That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates, which is just 3%"

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).
So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.
