Confusing that moderate dems would roll over with no real concessions given that a) trump/republicans are getting blamed for the shutdown by a pretty wide margin in polling and b) dems literally just won a substantial electoral victory🤔

Trump is preparing to target liberal non-profits and Democratic funding networks with executive orders as "punishment" for their alleged involvement in Charlie Kirk's murder. Meanwhile there's no evidence the shooter was left-wing & most political violence is right-wing www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile
BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.
Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Would it really be that surprising if Mamdani beats Cuomo, the establishment choice, given the net favorability of the democratic party is like -20?

Especially after seeing how the city handled the protests in 2020, it's difficult to understand how anyone thinks this is a good idea
City Council on Wednesday narrowly approved an ordinance that empowers Police Superintendent Larry Snelling to issue curfews anytime, anywhere in the city, with 30 minutes’ notice.
