US operations against Venezuela to begin within days.
Covert ops the first move.

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

I’m fine conceding that a bunch of nebulously incriminating Epstein statements do not a story make, but in that case neither does the Biden Parkinson’s nonsense, or literally any component of the various Clinton/Wikileaks pseudo-scandals, or tons of other right-wing stuff the paper has laundered

Centrists and progressives are both lost in the same delusion: that by delivering specific policy proposals or outcomes, you can change your political fortunes.
And then when it fails, they argue a corollary: people didn’t support us, so clearly we did not deliver the right proposals or outcomes.
