The only thing that can stop Trump are free and fair elections in 2026. In the last two weeks he has suggested they be canceled and the ballot boxes seized.

I want Democratic politicians who sound like Mamdani, not like Newsom.
This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent.

More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.
Why universal child care is closer than ever in New York
One of Zohran Mamdani’s most expensive ideas has surprising early momentum.

The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years.

Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases.

So while this Administration may not hold anyone accountable, a future Administration will.

Useful idiots learn their usefulness was temporary and conditional.
this is a rollicking great read

it's a story of a bunch of tenured idealists who believed that they were building a university dedicated to free speech and free inquiry, but then lost control of their project to... the right-wing megadonors who funded the university

The Trump Administration treats its supporters and donors as above the law, able to violate your rights with impunity.

Treat them accordingly.

Trump has:

- Illegally & unconstitutionally attacked Venezuela

- Provided Netanyahu with $12B in arms sales

- Given Argentina's president a $40B bailout

- Approved the sale of jets & tanks to Saudi Arabia

- Given Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho

America first? Really?

Weiss is much like Trump in that she's both consistent in character yet somehow always tripping upstairs to her next, bigger grift.
Apropos of nothing, let's check in with how things are going at Bari Weiss's free speech university. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

ICE has shot a mother in the face, put a 16-year-old in a chokehold, and permanently blinded at least two protestors — and that’s just some of what we know.

And now this. Despicable.

This is an occupation.
"A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas... around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest on Wednesday night."

They were driving home from a son’s basketball game.

ICE kidnapped 4 members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, released one, and now "can’t locate" the other three.

America is at a legally impossible state where Native Americans aren't even considered Americans by ICE anymore.

The law is pretty clear that though the ICE officer could make whatever demands he wished, Renee Nicole Good was under no legal obligation to comply with them. This flows from several considerations, most prominently that US citizens are beyond the jurisdiction of ICE agents.
Was Renee Good Obligated to Comply With an ICE Agent’s Orders?

Reporters need to ask Trump at every press availability why he's breaking the law and covering up child rape by not releasing the Epstein files.
