You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

MAGAs don't like to visit NY because people in NY are happy and they are always angry. Of course when they do visit they find something to get angry about.

I've been watching videos of interviews of Trump supporters. Almost no one can name an accomplishment. But they still like him. And they blame Biden for all problems. It's definitely pro wrestling. He's their guy no matter what.

forgot about the big naval base there, double yikes!

. "Naval Base San Diego (California): The principal homeport for the Pacific Fleet's surface force, featuring 13 piers, over 12 miles of berthing space, and support for approximately 54 warships and thousands of personnel." Trump offers it as a target for Iran to take out. A day of infamy. .

I walked by this myself last night. They had a long line of cowboy hatted folks waiting to get in.

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

Corporate media is influenced by ads, meaning by those who buy the ads they need to survive. They appear to expect politicians to be similarly influenced.

Musk (and others) are not really buying elections, they are buying government contracts and killing investigations. Elected officials are supposed to represent their voters, but now they represent those who buy elections for them.

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

Love this, applies to Boston and NY as well.

Having worked in the Seattle mayor's office (2011-13), one thing is absolutely clear. A corporate establishment mayor is playing the game on beginner difficulty mode. A progressive mayor plays the same game on extreme difficulty mode. The rules and expectations are just totally different.
