That was a hell of speech—as local as it comes yet a national gauntlet from someone who can’t run for president. Mamdani is saying New York will show others the way.

Last polling out of New Jersey was 46% to 42%.
Mikie Sherill blew her opponent away, being the first Democratic governor of New Jersey winning by double digits, beating her opponent by 13 points.

Hey look it took me 20 minutes to come up with the beginnings of a plan to keep Larry Ellison from corruptly seizing control of half the country’s media SO WHY CAN’T DEMOCRATS
You would need to have deep pockets to pay for your quality legal team with cash up front instead of contingency, but yes you could probably fuck up some companies who weren’t expecting it that way

We all make poor choices in life. But few are as bad as allowing yourself to be lectured about incitment and violent rhetoric by anyone who follows Donald Trump. Seriously. Make good life choices, folks.

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences?

RUBIO: That's not the aim

RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim

If Trump were actually the strong-man he pretends to be, he'd tell Netanyahu to allow the food to flow, so innocent Palestinian children don't die of starvation.

Talking about how sad this is in between rounds at his golf course in Scotland is weak beyond words.

Ghislaine Maxwell is 63 and scheduled to be released from prison when she’s 80. Trump appears to be offering her the chance to walk out of jail this summer for a life on the French Riviera in exchange for exonerating him on Jeff Epstein. Any guesses?

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

The sheer absurdity and desperation of this statement shows the existential panic Trump and the whole White House are operating under. It’s like the gravitational pull of any historic scandal. Inexplicable, unbelievable things start happening in its proximity. The gravity is that strong.
Obviously this statement is a smoldering pile of poop. But is it too obvious to note that “grand jury testimony” isn’t even what anyone is even talking about? I have zero idea what the govt has. But to the extent we’re talking about anything it’s the evidence collected from JE’s home right?
Folks, they’re going to release the full pertinent stuff

When you're SO on the Epstein list that you're forced to share an honest medical report for the first time ever because maybe it will distract, but nah.

Trump’s new position that the Epstein files were “made up” by Democrats is a strong indication that they are extremely damaging to Trump
REPORTER: Did the attorney general tell you that your name appeared in the Epstein files?

TRUMP: No no. She's given us just a very quick briefing. These files were made up by Comey, Obama, they were made up by the Biden-- we went through years of that with the Russia Russia Russia hoax

I'm pretty sure a 35-year-old and a 44-year-old could pass a dementia test
Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."
