A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

The 'Moderate' slate championed by Jacobs was massacred on a night when the rest of the party across the country had its best election in generations.
We need to purge the whole of the NY Dems operation.

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

I hope Kamala and every advisor who said it is was a good idea to spend the end of her campaign running around with the Cheneys has to spend the entire day today reading all the mean comments about this horrible man from across the internet.

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.
Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich

This is an exceptional speech.
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

A thing I heard today at the National Union/Co-op conference in Cincinnati is that “all the waterparks in Mexico are co-ops.”
I very much want to believe this is at least partially true.

Not gonna post much about the Celtics this season but just putting it out there now that a successful season to me looks like developing 2-3 guys who can really contribute and the next contending iteration.
I think Tillman is the one I’m most excited about.
