It's ridiculously out of touch to treat "abolish ICE" as untouchable. This stuff is wildly unpopular! People hate them! It's an irredeemably rotten institutional culture of thuggery and criminality. Cutting this malignant tumor out altogether isn't just right on principle, it's a winning message.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isn’t a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out.

Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They don’t want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.

Same with TikTok. We were told it was a "national security" threat. But the forced divestiture wasn't about data privacy.

It was about transfer of ownership. Handing the algorithm to politically safe tech oligarchs ensures that the last algorithmic feed not under their thumb is brought to heel.
Trump allies to control TikTok under new US deal

They deemed this story newsworthy b/c the NYT & many of its elite white readers are still obsessed with race-conscious college admissions. Now after finally winning at SCOTUS anti-affirmative action folks can only attack it retroactively.

That’s why this seemed like a “story” worth risking it all.

The best part of the Mamdani win is that a bunch of octogenarian Democratic officials might finally be realizing that it's long past time they pass the torch.

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee.

Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

This really is Congress eating its own institutional capacity to stifle any dissent to Trump. They accuse CBO of being Democrats, even though it is run by a Republican appointee.
GAO has pointed out the illegality of impoundment. DOGE tried to take over GAO, and now House Republicans want to gut it.
The Trump administration has spent months illegally impounding funds in the name of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Congressional Republicans are now seeking to cut GAO, an organization dedicated to rooting out waste, frauds abuse, roughly in half.
