Josh Shapiro called the McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione a “hero.”

She will NOT get the $10,000 reward money because she called 911 instead of the tip line.

By the way, Josh Shapiro got $15,000 in donations from United Healthcare last year.

Numbers are fun.

Giving a human being a belief in a god is like giving a child a belief in a superhero.

It’s not real, but then the point was always to keep people as children. Infantile. Immature. And that’s religion. A fake ass security blanket for thumb suckers who never wanna grow up.

She showed more courage than most American democrats protecting her democracy and constituency.
News anchor-turned politician Ms. Ahn Gwi-ryeong showed exceptional bravery during the South Korea martial law crisis, she confronted a soldier head on, grabbed his rifle, shamed him for usurping democracy and for confronting protestors while armed.

Why framing matters. The day(s) after Election Day, the general vibe was that Trump won and it wasn't close. That fed the narrative that it was a "mandate" and a "landslide."

In reality it was neither.
"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

There is no aspect of American life that the so-called Reagan Revolution and the unfettered, unremitting greed it unleashed, didn’t ruin.

Trump appoints Kash Patel to troll an FBI that helped Mueller.

Trump appoints non-French-speaking felon Charles Kushner to troll Emmanuel Macron because Melania thought Macron was handsome.

Trump appoints Pete Hegseth to troll a Department of Defense that didn't help him overturn an election.
