I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

This is was a great speech by Sherrill. Not Mamdani’s barn burner but she should not be discounted.

Factional infighting like this is stupid and self-defeating.
Bigger things are happening.
And everyone should stand with New Yorkers’ right to pick their own mayor in the face of authoritarian threats that, if they choose against the president’s preferences, he’ll break the law to hurt the city.

Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse because of the shutdown. Reminders:
1. About 1 in 2 children will receive SNAP benefits at some point and 1 in 4 children are receiving benefits in a given month.
2. Trump is already planning to cut SNAP in other ways.

On these centrist diagnoses, let's be blunt: Folks are obscuring what *they know to be true* about the thermostatic nature of politics (things fluctuate!) in order to overhype meaning of a narrow win driven largely by cost of living to fleece donors/push pet ideological projects. It's pretty gross.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers.
Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close.
Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive.
Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

I am still fixated on the "God will bless" us part. She's saying "God will bless us" because she is sure of what she believes (terrorizing people and violating their rights) and the NFL doesn't "know what they believe" it's just the wildest fake weird statement of faith
Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:
“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

Haven’t read the piece yet. But it may be he best description I’ve heard of Klein generally.
I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]
You don’t have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.
