If Hamilton is a Dem unicorn then so, too, is Sen. Warnock. “It’s not just that Hamilton is a religious Democrat… He’s also a deeply talented public speaker… authoritative religious voice willing — unlike most pastors — to wade directly into electoral politics. He is, in other words, a unicorn.”

I went out to Kansas earlier this month, to see what Methodist pastor @hamilton4kansas.bsky.social is up to, how his faith message is landing with voters, and to see what exactly is being preached at his megachurch. Turns out, a lot of national Dems might want to pay attention too. Gift link below

Financial & property sanctions by middle powers against Russia under multilateral alliances with Ukraine provide effective enforcement of international laws against invasions. Does this establish the model for hybrid military & economic war against Russia by border countries like Finland & Poland?

Finland and Austria have frozen Russian-owned assets worth approximately $500 million as part of a legal campaign by Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz to recover compensation for property seized by Russia in Crimea in 2014, The Wall Street Journal reports.

“1) Identify issue. 2) Create front groups to make noise. 3) Fund GOP in Congress & GOP AGs’ law suits. 4) Lose at the lower court level. This is key. 5) Move case to SCOTUS 6) Front groups flood SCOTUS w/ amicus. 7) 6 conservative justices craft rulings based on Leo amicus. 8) Another Leo win.”

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

People can disagree with Ilhan Omar's policies, but if the rhetoric singles her out because she's a Muslim woman, that's not a policy debate. Political attacks that rely on stereotypes, fear, or resentment toward someone's race, religion, or gender should be called out for what they are. UnAmerican

Days after AIPAC announced it would stop endorsing candidates and direct contributions, our reporting shows it was already moving its spending out of sight. Its super PAC has sent $13.1M to other groups this cycle, 3x 2024, so the ads never carry AIPAC’s name.

Many Michiganders in the Upper Peninsula celebrate their Norwegian heritage. Same for Wisconsin, North Dakota, & Minnesota. Trump is insulting MAGA voters in northern Midwest. “so I'm not in love with Norway,” Trump said. “Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a s***house country, actually.”
