Where we are assuming naivety, we might instead assign cynicism. Instead of Democrats whiffing once again, maybe they were betting that their voters — you and me — would take the bait and play the role of old hapless Charlie Brown yet again. www.progressreport.news/p/democrats-...

The Upper West Side defied predictions and is +5 for Zohran Mamdani. Honestly a huge statement about Cuomo's failure to scare Jewish voters off Zohran.

The NY Times keep asking the same seven voters what they think about various political issues.

In 2016, I went to Japan, saw a few baseball games, and then came back and wrote this article about a two-way player named Shohei Ohtani who was breaking out in NPB. www.vice.com/en/article/s...

The days following Charlie Kirk’s murder renewed an exhausting cycle: liberal elites fall over themselves to praise a bigot who fucking hated them and the right uses it to persecute speech and the people that liberals are supposed to care about.

Remember when Andrew Cuomo said he'd stand up to Donald Trump?
Turns out Cuomo's has been yakking on the phone with Trump, desperate for his help to beat the Democratic nominee for mayor.

The Epstein saga is ultimately about wealth, class, and power, and Americans implicitly understand that. Democrats should be using it as an avatar for the elite and every single problem that ails this country.

NY Times: A triple-bylined story laundering a Nazi’s stupid attack on Zohran.

"He is an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race" has to be the most extraordinary effort to avoid calling somebody a racist I've ever seen.
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a parody of the NY Times' most pained euphemisms.

Now more than ever, stop using the term “work requirements” for what Republicans want to do to hard-working people on Medicaid and SNAP.
The term is a lie, a cover to strip healthcare from millions of disabled people, parents, and low income workers. www.progressreport.news/p/why-medica...

There were a lot of factors that went into Zohran Mamdani’s win, but having principles and actually sticking to them — a rarity for elected Democrats — was no doubt part of it.

When Dems clutch pearls over institutional process and demand a vote to authorize war in Iran, they’re surrendering the larger point — often on purpose.
Americans overwhelmingly oppose war in Iran. The only smart move is @aoc.bsky.social’s rejection of war and call for consequences against Trump.
