Absolutely everything - everything - Republicans will say for the next year about yesterday's elections will be about how Mamdani is the prototype of every future Democratic candidate.
Except of course the untethered, maniacal ravings of the midnight shit-poster. He'll say some other stuff.

NBC has an entire night's lineup based on Chicago - Med, Fire, PD. Will they add Chicago ICE? And will it include handcuffing children, pulling naked people out of their beds, and helicopters dropping agents into apartment buildings? Probably not. Who would believe it?

There have been so many significant court decisions in recent years that it is sometimes hard to keep track. This article does a good job of summarizing all of the various ways SCOTUS has consolidated executive power and weakened democracy.

Has SCOTUS Become a Republican Tool to Move Us Into Dictatorship?
The Supreme Court has granted presidents criminal immunity, dismantled federal agency constraints, and weakened electoral oversight.

One of the joys of joining the ACC is that you get to see new advertising during game broadcasts. Now I am aware that I can buy three months worth of survival food (lasts 20 years!) and get two additional months worth free. The PAC-12 broadcasts never shared that with me.

Mixed emotions. I'll be pulling for the US to turn things around in the afternoon Ryder Cup matches... but ... Trump is arriving to watch in the afternoon ... which means he'll take credit for it if they do. Ugh.

Hegseth has summoned generals and admirals from around the world to meet on short notice next week, but has not disclosed the reason for the gathering.
Anyone else think they’ll have to pass a Trump loyalty test or be let go?
