As an English major, I wonder if there’s anything to be made of the explosion of democratic movements around the launch of the printing press, followed by the explosion of authoritarian movements around the launch of algorithmic feeds. But only polls, not poems, are politics, of course.

I want to be super clear. The United States has a responsibility to go get every single person they have deported to foreign concentration camps and bring them back. That is the just and humane thing to do. Any politician not willing to say that is not worthy of service.

Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
"I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"

The Trump admin's record of direct interventions in elections:
—JD Vance & Elon tried to boost the far-right in Germany. Other parties doubled down on a strong barrier to it.
—Elon broke all records in Wisconsin. GOP lost big.
—Trump's arrival & repeat boost of Tories... caused a Tory collapse.

How’s that focus on free trade instead of woke working out for WaPo?
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

we need to elect this man as our mayor
We’re just two months away from Election Day, yet 50% of New Yorkers still have no idea who I am or what this movement is all about.
The only way we can win is by bringing our message to as many doors as possible — and we need your help to do so.
