For the life of me I don’t understand going to the effort - time, money, everything - of running for Congress, winning, and then just rolling over. It makes no sense.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

I paid basically no attention to the NYC mayoral primary.
(Never lived there, don't understand NY politics. Just enough to think: Andrew Cuomo??????)
Now I'm ready to move there to vote for Mamdani.
Given the shameless slime of the attacks on him.

Karoline Leavitt indicates the administration is open to a denaturalization-oriented investigation against Zohran Mamdani

One would think that Democrats would have some better targets in the midst of a coup/civil war/destruction of the Constitution and the rule of law/massive loss of rights than a Democratic candidate who just won an election.
This is not a coincidence. This is a concerted effort. This is a Dem establishment agreed-upon talking point. This is a very deliberate plan. “Use the Jews.”

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%.

One way to think about it is that Trump/DOGE is not just hurting science in the US, but hurting science globally. Science will still continue, of course, but on a much smaller scale, with the US becoming less impt. The pace of global innovation will decline.

This is wild. Fox News is telling viewers the polls showing Trump tanking can't be right because he's a world-historical success. But even some callers to right wing media are saying the tariffs are a huge problem for them.

A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trump’s new right.
