Mississippi has over the last several years touted its success in improving conditions and performance in primary and secondary education as a "Mississippi miracle." But now a study from the Royal Statistical Socy's journal concludes that these claims are fraudulent. It's the Mississippi Fraud.

Between Mamdani and Trump only one of them wants to seize the means of production, and it is Trump.
Trump on Mamdani: "I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right? It's gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there."

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.
