A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?
MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have
TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

Is that a bruise on the side of her face? That she’s trying to cover up with sunglasses in the other shots?
Maybe Melania is advising her on renegotiating her prenup?

You win. Soon I will start writing about the threat that Trump poses to democracy. I’ve been avoiding that very touchy subject for a long time, but maybe I should think about it and write a few things down.

Lebensraum is when they invade Canada.
Deporting people to give real Americans more room to live
"Lebensraum," you might call it
"Lebensraum," you might call it
“Deporting immigrants to make room for “real” Americans is therefore both about a belief that only certain types of people can be American in the first place and a demand that these authentic Americans be provided an array of nostalgic comforts through government largess.”

MAGA crowd: They only want the Epstein files to go public so they can destroy Trump.

When u sell your soul to the cult of Trump, what do you get in return?
2023: "They're taking advantage of a 16-year-old MINOR!! I have a daughter close to that, if you come near her as a 31-year-old man, we're going to have a SERIOUS PROBLEM!!"
2025: "He was not a pedophile; he was into the barely legal type. Like he liked 15-year-old girls... that is what I believe."

Four of Mike Johnson's top priorities are:
1. Helping the super-rich get super-richer
2. Blocking the swearing-in of a duly elected Democrat
3. Denying food to the poor
4. Covering up for sex predators who rape children.
I guess there's no time left in his day to help everyday Americans.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Of course Trump is on the ballot. He’s president and his party controls everything. This election is the people saying. “We hate you.”
Of course, if the GOP had done well, he would be trying to take all of the credit and then some.

LAX has the ICE Barbie Kristi Noem TSA video playing, but the sound is off.
Got to LAX an hour early thinking there might be some congestion, but sailed right thru security, no long lines or hold-ups.
Thank you, TSA!
Congress, get back to work and open the government so these essential workers can be paid.
