I literally think Mamdani went “you know, there was actually a President so popular that people kept electing him more than two terms” and Trump was like no way tell me how he did it
Trump posts:
“It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York City!”
He included multiple photos of Mamdani in front of the portrait of FDR that Mamdani spoke with Trump about during his visit.

It's extremely bad for left politics that we are apparently incapable of doing the internal hygiene required to keep these vicious bullies from claiming the mantle of "leftism"
Felt the need to share my journal entry today. Don't know why. Here it is, make of it what you will.

by this time next year, half of exurban and rural americans are gonna have claimed to have written in mitt romney
i have noticed that trumpers have shut the fuck up for the most part, just like these same people did when bush's approval went to the 20s. it was awesome, because you knew they didn't really believe he was wrong and were so mad all the mud-brained moderates turned on them
I don’t know if this reflects what others have seen in rural areas, but it has been a noticeable glimmer to me the last couple of times I was really out in the sticks.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

So funny how the WSJ is the only paper of record doing actually investigative reporting on the administration
1) Ethics officials at Fannie Mae investigate how Bill Pulte got Letitia James mortgage docs
2) They send findings to Inspector Gen. of FHFA, which Pulte heads
3) IG sends it to Lindsay Halligan, new USA prosecuting James
4) IG and ethics officials are all fired.
