Apropos of nothing, I suddenly remembered the crazy dictator from Turkmenistan who would rename days of the week, months, and mountains whatever he wanted.

Gutsiest individual match for England at a World Cup in my lifetime. Down a man. Unlucky penalty given away. But tough it out even when it looked like Rice and Bellingham were on the verge of collapse due to altitude. Really impressive.

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."

Miriam Adelson is horrible, but she's horrible because she's a billionaire buying elections. Thomas Massie can't make a principled critique of all billionaires, because that would lead him to leftism, so he has to single out the "Tel Aviv born" ones. He knows exactly what he's doing here.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

New York Dems are reportedly still expected to push for a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map in 2028 to counter GOP gerrymanders. Dems could target 3-4 seats currently held by GOP. Dems must pass it both in 2026 & 2027, then win voter approval in November 2027

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, third in line to become President of the United States, tacitly endorses a national secret police force, in the same vein as the Gestapo, KGB, or Stasi. We are well beyond a constitutional crisis.

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants? J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

Whenever the New York Times gives Trump style points, it reminds me of a line in Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”: “The Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.”
