This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."

Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

If the settlement leaves the Sacklers with more than a penny then the fine needs to be larger.
BREAKING: A judge has decided to approve a $7 billion settlement with OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma that requires the Sacklers to pay victims.
Judge says he'll approve opioid settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue and Sackler family
A federal bankruptcy court judge on Friday said he will approve OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma’s latest deal to settle thousands of lawsuits over the toll of opioids that includes some money for thousands of victims of the epidemic.

These are his exact internal thoughts. Trump gonna croak before end of 2026.
JD Vance: "I serve under Donald Trump, who is very healthy. If I served under Joe Biden, I'd probably be worried every minute of every day that he was gonna croak and that I'd have to become president."

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.”

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Maybe authentic messaging works? Aka just be your fucking self and REPRESENT the people and you’ll be golden. But wtf do I know?
Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.
Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

Spanberger and Sherrill should both win by 20 pts but apparently the US has way too many voters that sustained major head trauma. Or they’re just fucking idiots.
