Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Weeks ago, South Korea mocked Trump with a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown, claiming it symbolized “peace.” In reality, the crown came from the Silla Kingdom, whose king was assassinated after a civil war and kingdom destroyed by corruption & rule for the wealthy.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

A variation on the story from the other day about how many teens think factual reporting is routinely made up:
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

Turns out that voters don't like the party that invades them, starves them, and arrests them.

YES.
it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.

Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Today in Evanston: helicopters overhead constantly, ICE jumping out across the entire town, people getting snatched outside of schools, a guns-drawn confrontation at an intersection after hitting a car, schools on soft lockdown, and they’re STILL roaming around in full tactical gear.
