If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.
The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

basically everything about this is wrong and horrifying but I'm stuck on the absolute fucking chutzpah you'd need to lecture professional military personnel like this after you personally texted wildly classified war plans to the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

Zohran Mamdani will never be to a "mainstream Jewish institution" because any institution that hosts Zohran will cease being "mainstream" in the judgment of the self-appointed guardians of the term. Funny how that works.
Greenblatt of the ADL is using a classic "no true Scotsman" fallacy here - if Mamdani speaks to Jews, they aren't real Jews by definition of speaking to Mamdani, hence there is no way for Mamdani to actually meet with Jews. The ADL gets to be the sole arbiter of Jewishness in the US.
