republicans can only win elections by gerrymandering, voter suppression, or outright cheating and they know it
🚨BREAKING: Florida lawmakers are set to begin a mid-decade redraw of the state’s congressional map next month — a move that could accelerate a nationwide GOP push to lock in control of the U.S. House before any votes are cast. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

some notable things in this excellent Bloomberg story - www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

how much of it connects through Harvard, and how many of these people are now in the AI field.

If the outcomes aren't the most important thing, it's not even politics. Politics is literally about the outcomes. What he's describing here is cosplaying.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.
Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Zohran Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race.
November 5, 2025 at 2:38 AM
go back to nazi twitter with these moronic statements
What Democrats need to do is neither embrace the ideas of the Bernie / AOC / Mamdani faction nor obsessively freeze Bernie / AOC / Mamdani out.

What they have to do is be tougher on crime and illegal immigration and prioritize broad-based prosperity over emissions reductions and identity politics.

the democratic party has never been “left” leaning, but boomers like tom still fear-monger about it cause its a distraction from what people like him have actually done to this country for 4 plus decades now.. universal healthcare & affordable housing are actually massively popular among voters

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”

No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

To be clear:
These donations are bribes, made anonymously to conceal Trump’s corruption.
