I also think this has a very real chance of occurring.

Media should be considering explainers on why there’s no universe where Maduro rigged the election bc this is one of those rumors that’s built up lore for years in bespoke realities, & normies may register it as a “shocking revelation”.
Can't wait for Pardon Attorney Ed Martin to broker a deal where Maduro "confesses" to rigging the 2020 election in exchange for clemency and cushy exile.
I predict that 2026 will be a big year for the “Hey Ed!” series.

You know how I keep saying that every damn skill and capacity is needed in this moment???

What do you know how to do that can serve in this critical time??
One man tracking people being deported & deportation flights at the Minneapolis airport.
One person creating a record for future inquiries & potential prosecutions.

Second to that - energy costs. Duke/FPL just walked into DeSantis' office and said "We're raising our rates" and the governor replied, "Have fun!"

Between insurance and energy alone, it's getting hard for most people to afford Florida. Campaign on their wallets!

I used to work for Harry Belafonte. Shortly before his assassination, MLK confided to him: “I have come upon something that disturbs me deeply. I’ve come to believe we’re integrating into a burning house. I’m afraid America may be losing what moral vision she had.”
I think about that quote a lot.

This is legitimately shocking
NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

I like how they're just taking it for granted already that the referendum will pass in Virginia.

great to see that even without a third of its staff the Washington Post can find the time to mind somebody else's business
In a city packed with mighty real estate titans, they are the small ones.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

The video was up for 12 hours before the White House deleted and now are trying to blame it on staffers.

These performative outrages from Republican Congressional Members are meaningless.

Every single one of them own what comes from Trump and this WH. They coddled and enabled & bootlicked them.

Adult men hitting on teenage girls is so broadly reviled that it cost the Republicans a Senate seat in Alabama. But yes, of course, it's actually something everyone is secretly okay with and we would all admit it if it weren't for the woke scolds

It’s not just words/ memes from this sick tyrant. It’s his horrible racist actions brutalizing communities across our country. Trump has the Black and Hispanic community in his cross-hairs. This must stop. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to be the fighter for all Floridians.

At least report it this way. Say racist, not racism-adjacent, racially tinged, or boundary-stretching on the topic of race, just an unpopular gutter racist who has no path to ever seeing 40% approval or his party outperforming expectations.

It’s a hungry life.

A representative from the establishment told the 55-year-old officer [he] is no longer welcome there.”

My suggestion is that the NY Times profile politicians who are not just thinking about kids detained by ICE, but actually doing something about it, rather than enabling it.
