the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

They booted you from Medicaid so they could build ICE Air.
BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for ICE to use funds to buy, own and operate its own fleet of airplanes to deport immigrants, two sources familiar with the discussions tell NBC News.
Kristi Noem is pushing for ICE to buy and operate a fleet of deportation planes, sources say
Former officials say that if ICE owned its own planes, it could double the number of people it deports each month. But it would be costly.

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

The key difference here is that Walz believes that Democrats should run on challenging oligarchy but without using that specific term, while Slotkin believes that the Democrats shouldn't run on challenging oligarchy.
A lot of people got mad at Elissa Slotkin for saying Democrats should not use the word "oligarchs" since nobody knows what it means. But Tim Walz told @markleibovich.bsky.social that he's not a fan of the term. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

All Dems have to do is concede nothing. They can offer votes for real Republican concessions—abolition of the debt limit, congressional tariff review, DREAM Act etc., no GOP riders—but not a single vote for GOP-only bills simply to save Republicans from themselves.
