The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Last week: DOGE already cut roughly 20 percent of FEMA’s staff and moved to freeze its funds. And Donald Trump has repeatedly signaled his interest in shifting disaster relief responsibilities entirely to the states.

Great Replacement Theory in action…

On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”?

This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!

The support of David Ortiz means the world to me—not just as a fan, but as someone who believes deeply in the spirit of Boston. Big Papi has always represented the heart of our community, and I’m honored by his endorsement. This is our city—together, we’ll keep making Boston a home for everyone.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

We can flip this seat!

There's nothing else more important than elections right now.

You can phone bank from anywhere in the country to flip 2 House seats & win a WI Supreme Court seat.
