The Trump administration has joined the war on HIV/AIDS, on the side of HIV/AIDS.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

there’s this constant mythology about the elusive centrist voter who isn’t represented by the media but whenever they use examples of people not represented by the media it’s always people like alan dershowitz who are still represented in the media and almost exclusively so!
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate “charismatic”...

Comics friends may recall Pamela Paul as the jerk who was in charge when the NYT decided it should no longer have a list of best selling comics. Not her biggest offense by a long shot, but I like to keep track.
In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.

It’s very strange to repeatedly see Democratic “strategists” observe that the party is widely seen as focusing on identity politics—in spite of the Harris campaign largely avoiding them —and concluding this is a problem with party priorities and not with losing voters to misinformation.

Obama has always had 20x the political instincts of whoever is technically in charge of the Democratic Party
President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a "sounding board" into the future.
Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success beyond the election on Tuesday.
"Your campaign has been impressive to watch," Obama told Mamdani.

Does that mean sending some current reps packing, even people's favorites? Yep.

The educated liberal big city US folks outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some Facebook of their less established relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with Trump's target audience.

They arrested dozens of people-including citizens
And detained children after binding their hands with zip-ties

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
