Watching Democratic elected officials who loudly demanded Andrew Cuomo resign just 4 years ago for his sexual harassment of 13 women and his “pattern of discrimination against female employees" now endorse him for Mayor will hurt our party in the long run. It makes us look like the scumbag GOP.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.
That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

Musk is unilaterally wrecking the government from within and lining his own pockets. Get him out, terminate his access to all government systems. If you can't rally the public against a cartoonishly corrupt bond villain who's stealing from them in plain sight then get out of politics
Senate Democrats met privately today for lunch to discuss strategy. They widely disapprove of the six-month bill that House Republicans passed, but they remain jittery about a government shutdown if it fails. With Rand Paul a NO, the bill needs at least 8 Dems to pass the Senate. Jury's still out.

If the IRS were forced to disclose taxpayer information in violation of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would set a dangerous precedent that could, in theory, be used to justify the release of anyone’s tax records—including those of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump.
