I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

I think Dick Cheney’s death today highlighted this divide.
The Democrats who still say shit like “reach across the aisle” and praise evil people are playing to a political audience that no longer exists.
Mamdani wasn’t cruel to Cuomo in a Trumpism style, but he didn’t concede anything either.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

I’m coining the phrase “the centrist two-step.” Step 1 is declaring that the left needs to focus on kitchen table issues instead of social issues to win back voters and step 2 is insisting that all left-wing approaches to kitchen table issues are impossible to deliver on.

Was rooting hard for the Jays but tbh the Dodgers might be at the likability ceiling for a steamroller dynasty. Watching Shohei was a joy every game and the Yamamoto photos have me grinning ear to ear this morning
As a have-not fan, I manage to find a way to hate every sports dynasty, but I don't mind and often like the Dodgers. I don't really know why. Freddie? Ohtani is fun to watch? Mookie helps Nashville youth sports? They seem OK to me.
