I was a Lander supporter and for a number of reasons thought he’d be a better operational mayor. But the ongoing centrist and right wing meltdown is making me go all out for Mamdani.

72 million people in America rely on Medicaid, and over 3.4 million of them live in Illinois.
When Trump said he wouldn’t touch Medicaid, he was lying to 72 million people across the country who need this critical service to live their everyday lives.

Ending Medicaid to build concentration camps
This isn’t just a bill.
It’s a fundamental restructuring of American society in which the poor are abandoned, and “immigration jails” outrank healthcare.
Billions taken from one and given to the other.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Shutting down Indian Point was a big pet project of RFK Jr. and his allies
Things are looking pretty bad for the New York City grid next week.
There is a nonzero chance of rolling brownouts on Election Day.
And remember: CUOMO DID THIS. He shut down Indian Point nuclear plant, which provided 2 gigawatts of clean power to the city.
Don’t rank Cuomo.

one thing I keep thinking about is how the upshot of a lot of technological advancements - digital cinema, non-linear editing, computer VFX replacing models and stunts etc etc - hasn't been to improve quality or even to save money, but to enable indiscipline and laziness.
“Have a finished shooting script before you start” is something that fixes a number of problems from the beginning, from effects work to budgeting. It’s genuinely insane that it’s something that has to be brought back into fashion

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points:
This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle.
It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.
