absolutely brutal crosstabs here for NY-10 (Goldman) and NY-15 (Torres), where Democratic voters say they would be more likely to back a candidate who withholds US aid to Israel by 50-point margins
It seems the pro-Israel consensus among Democrats is well and truly dead at this point. Dem primary voters prefer candidates who refuse to travel to Israel (by net +45%) and back a bill to end military aid to Israel (by net +61%). www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202...

New DFP poll finds that 42% of NYC Democrats would be less likely to vote for a Democratic congressional candidate who didn't endorse Zohran for mayor. And keep in mind this is 42% of all Democrats, not just 42% of Mamdani supporters! www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202...

it’s almost as if—as some have long maintained—substack has a nazi problem.
The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

I can’t wrap my head around how stupid it is to arrest someone for not having a home. How can that be a crime? Are we pretending that’s a choice?

But even beyond that, it is so much more expensive to arrest & imprison people than it is to provide housing! This is wasting so much of everyone’s money
"When you’re in an encampment and somebody goes down, there’s other people there with Narcan and there’s people who can revive them.

If you’re camping alone or maybe even with one other person, you might not notice them going down, because five minutes later, you know, they’re dead."

This story is wild. The FBI violated a warrant & took an innocent woman’s life savings. They never said why—because they don’t have to.

She sued to stop that. Her case was thrown out last week. So the feds can keep seizing people’s stuff without charges or explanation. reason.com/2025/07/28/t...
The FBI took her $40,000 without explaining why. She fought back—and lost.
There is little accountability in civil forfeiture, which allows law enforcement to seize assets without charging the owner with a crime.

100%.

After the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, nine Northern states embraced Southern "states' rights" arguments and passed laws making the act hard to enforce in their state. SCOTUS eventually struck those down, but the uncertainty in the interregnum SAVED LIVES.
I fucking hate Hochul but every now and again she gets it right. This is exactly what we need to be doing. We have to play their game. If they’re gonna cheat then we have to cheat. No more of this fucking decorum bullshit. Give it right back to them.

Since hearing that he’s in the Epstein files, Trump has:

- Fired the prosecutor that put Ghislane Maxwell in jail

- Had his former personal attorney interview her in prison

- Had his allies begin to float the idea of pardoning her

- Blocked release of the files

That’s incredibly sketchy.
Justice Department officials plan to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, again on Friday after her lawyer said that she had spent a full day on Thursday answering questions. Follow live updates.
