Exactly! Mamdani's most "radical" proposals — free buses, government grocery stores, higher taxes on the wealthy, a huge increase in affordable housing — really aren't that radical.
The centrist meltdown has to be about something else.

on Mamdani's city-run groceries idea, "laboratories of democracy" are one of the great U.S. strengths - even if you don't think it's likely to work, it's really interesting to see it tested. Maybe it'll be really successful! Maybe it'll fail for reasons we don't expect!

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.
Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

If any 3 increasingly disgruntled republican congresspeople are reading this, just a small reminder that enough house members can force mike johnson to put articles of impeachment up for a floor vote, and it only takes a simple majority to adopt them. Don't worry about the senate, just count to 218.

RFK was lead poisoned as a child
3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see
1. The data it was trained & evaluated on
2. The code
3. Model architecture
4. Model weights.
DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

With all due respect to my British colleagues, the problem of personal #data is not uniquely bad if it's #China that gets it. Losing control over your date to any sufficiently powerful entity is bad, and it's probably worse for your (western) life if say, the insurance industry, gets it.
