Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

This isn’t a new skeet from Serwer, but it still resonates bcuz there are so often a few Dems who just will not hold the line — even when surrendering persuades many voters the Dem Party as a whole can’t be counted on in the clinches. This makes it hell for us canvassers. bsky.app/profile/adam...
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

One of the things I find interesting about Mamdani is he can’t ever be president. Thus, he can’t be groomed onto the imperial pathway and into possible presidential aspirations like Obama, AOC, Bernie etc. And this could keep a more radical politics in his life. bsky.app/profile/orga...
I think the pressure of an Obama affiliation would be a constraint on Mamdani’s leadership. I fear that he is going to be pressured by Sanders to endorse Platner — and if that happens the screaming you hear is from my apartment in midcoast Maine.

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable.
Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.
