Nick Gellespie tweets: 'If you live outside New York, your biggest worry should be what effect a landslide win might have on the Democratic Party nationally. If Mamdani crushes Cuomo and Sliwa as seems likely, expect a big push from allies like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to revive the worst excesses of the populist identity politics that helped cost Democrats the White House in 2024 and caused much of the discord, overspending, and stupidity of the past decade.'

lest we forget.
Since the 1970s, at least 28 women have accused Donald Trump of various acts of sexual misconduct, " including rape, and kissing and groping without consent; looking under women's skirts; and walking in on naked teenage pageant contestants.

t. Peter Meijer reposted Curtis Houck ® @CurtisHouck X.com .@PeterMeijer to CNN on the Young Republicans group chat: "It should all be condemned as horrific. But, I mean, JD Vance is making a great point that one or a bunch of random folks — yes, there were some state legislators in the chat — the worse things were coming from, you know, staffers and not a single person in this group had I heard of. But most of those folks have already either been fired or resigned versus Jay Jones is sitting there running for office, and not a single person has pulled their endorsement or support for him." cc E LEAD TONIGHT 9P ET Shutdown Amenca:

Just go away old man. What a snake.
= MEDIAI During his interview with Dillon, Sanders argued Democrats have not been focused enough on issues that working class Americans are concerned about, like housing, inflation, and more. Former Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign, he said, was an example of an unfocused campaign too influenced by big money. "Kamala did not run a campaign focused on the needs of the working class, didn't run a campaign focused on healthcare, on economics, and raising the minimum wage, on paid family and medical leave, on housing, on all of the issues that working people are struggling with right now. And I think her not focused on those issues allowed [Donald] Trump to win, in my view," Sanders said.

A total fucking coward and a useless piece of shit One of the people in here, he attended his wedding with me and still sold him over to the devil All over some useless YR beef And then the GOP condemned them Fuck these people The GOP treated to fire my friend and vice chairman from his AG job because of tiktoks I posted about immigration I wasn't allowed to talk about "replacement theory" or any mainline immigration stances. They asked me to resign over Trump's green card diploma mill comments I was black listed by YR National and blocked by their account because their leader is a BLM sympathizing closet case Everyone in this article is a patriot and everyone attacking them is a dirty, treacherous, impotent, cowardly, bundle of sticks They all deserve to be destroyed Aidan Q @aidanxitter. 2h To the people at @a16z @a16zcrypto that followed me let's talk

Why are people such proud philistines? Like I can’t even imagine what spiritual poverty would force a person to proudly post a thing like this.
Derek Thompson & @DKThomp X.com Laszlo Krasznahorkai Is Awarded Nobel Prize in Literature The prize committee said the Hungarian writer's work "reaffirms the power of art." His latest novel to appear in English is "Herscht 07769," published last year in the United States. The book, which unfolds in a single sentence, evokes fears about the rise of fascism in Europe, and imagines a graffiti cleaner in Germany who writes letters to Chancellor Angela Merkel to alert her to the world's impending destruction. It features only one period in its 400 pages.

btw why is Google AI so bad?

right (Perplexity): correct
The phrase "For the true author of the subjugation of a people is not so much the immediate agent, as the power which permits it having the means to prevent it" comes from Thucydides's account of the Peloponnesian War, specifically a speech given by the Athenians to the Melians. The quote is delivered as part of the speech by the Corinthians to the Spartan assembly, where they accuse Sparta of allowing Athens to grow powerful and dominate other Greek city-states, despite having the means to stop them. The Corinthians argue that by failing to act, Sparta must share responsibility for the resulting oppression and loss of freedom experienced by smaller states.

total Ganz vindication
Derek Thompson • @DKTho….•13h •.. I don't think the word fascism should be thrown around or depreciated through overuse, but if your top advisers are going around calling for an autocratic executive to suspend the judiciary and declare martial law, the whole "don't call me a fascist" thing loses its punch.

one congressperson who takes their legislative responsibility seriously: MTG. I think this stems from her being a true MAGA believer who wants to plan for the day after.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Gre... @RepMTG x.com On the government shutdown, here's what you're not being told. If Republican Senators wanted to pass the CR and reopen the government they could, by using the nuclear option to override the 60 vote rule and pass the CR with a simple majority vote. We have 53 R Senators. This is what I have proposed all along, only I would like Congress to pass new Republican appropriation bills, instead of CRs, and use the nuclear option to pass them through the Senate. This would deliver our campaign promises to the American people. This would allow us to bring important appropriation funding (taxpayer dollars) back to our districts for much needed projects like infrastructure, water, law enforcement, and community needs, which by the way none of this funding happens under perpetual CRs. The Senate just recently used the nuclear option to push through a large package of the President's nominees. They know how to do it. And as far as worrying that using the nuclear option would damage partisan relations, let's be real, that ship has sailed a long time ago. There are no partisan relations. Instead, Republicans need to learn how to weld power when they have it and govern. And all the cuts Russ Vought is making can be made in new Congressional Republican Appropriation bills. If Congress is never allowed or fails to pass new legislation and new appropriations (not CRs), then everything President Trump is doing will remain temporary. Did you all really vote for a temporary president with temporary policies that can just be switched off with a Democrat election victory? In order for policies you support to become law, Congress has to pass legislation and the President has to sign it into law. By Congress handing over its power and responsibility to Russ Vought, nothing becomes permanent. It's all temporary. You should be demanding Congress do its job that the Constitution requires. Legislate!!!
