Community note for the win

Fox: 70% of Americans say groceries cost more than they did a year ago, and about 60% blame Trump.

A reminder that every candidate who President Obama endorsed won their elections on Tuesday whilst the orange felon’s atrocious candidates all lost. 💙👊

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

Very good article explaining why Justice Jackson ordered the temporary stay. From @stevevladeck.bsky.social’s Substack 190. SNAP WTF? www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-w...

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson “There’s something mentally very wrong with Nancy Mace…And I don’t know if she’s got friends in Congress, or friends in South Carolina who can actually help her…she needs an intervention.”

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

We’re less than a year into his presidency and we’re seeing recession-like layoffs, MTG is calling Trump a liar on CNN, Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro are beefing, and GOP influencer accounts are accusing Trump of gaslighting. Well-oiled machine!

If you were looking at a newspaper (or its website) this morning and didn't see this iconic photo, it was an intentional choice to pander.

This is a great deal for Republicans, since it would push the ACA cost hikes until after the midterms. On a purely political calculus, would be malpractice not to take this.

FYI, he’s not ‘sleeping’ he’s high. Benzo’s will do that to you after a long night of snorting Adderall.

This is what the right does. I know bcuz I used to do some of it as well back in my divisive right wing asshole days. It’s all about spreading fear among the MAGA base. Fear of brown people, black people, and Muslims. It’s all about scaring them. It’s just so damn wrong.

He is not a good human being in any way that such things are objectively measured. And good people don't align with this, no matter what story they tell themselves. Only bad people still support him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...

When the horses were in the starting gate, all the way back in February, Zohran Mamdani was polling at 1% and didn’t even rate a mention in the pollster’s write up. What a remarkable race he ran. emersoncollegepolling.com/new-york-cit...

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

OUR TIMELINE HAS GONE AWRY ONCE AGAIN

A guy collapses down on the floor right next to him, the guy could be dying, and Trump doesn’t move a muscle, doesn’t give a damn, and looks super pissed off that his photo op this afternoon has been interrupted. Donald Trump, in a perfect nutshell.👇

When he was shot (or "shot"), he knew to milk it for the cameras, but here has no clue that just PRETENDING to be concerned & heroic benefits him. He supposedly understands TV, but the idea of feigning empathy during another human's crisis is just too much for his feeble sociopathic brain.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

☠️😭

Somebody is trying to out Trump Trump.

Last night wasn't a fluke. It was a blueprint. And this article shows you exactly how to ride the 2025 wave into a 2026 tsunami. Strategy. Psychology. Power moves.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

I'm with her.

Like, oh, say, if you granted him near immunity???

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

Folks - let them think this. I’ve spent 25 years doing campaigns - when you think like this after a loss like last night, you are doomed to lose again.

Stephen Miller really responded to Mamdani winning by threatening to destroy New York families. What an evil, pathetic, petty little ghoul of a man.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years. That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign. Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Another source familiar called the situation an “absolute clusterfuck of unprincipled assholes.”

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people. Thank goodness.

speaks volumes that Trump's response to tonight's resounding defeat is to demand Republicans redouble efforts to rig elections

I bear full responsibility for the intra-South Carolina beef that continues to escalate because of Nancy Mace. Original story here: www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Two moderate national security Democrats have just rolled over their opponents in two big states.

One week ago the owner of my local bodega told me he didn’t do politics. Tonight he was wearing a NYC “I voted” sticker, saw me and smiled. “I changed my mind,” he said.

Wow. JD Vance’s younger brother is losing in an absolute landslide in the Cincinnati mayor election after JD endorsed him.

This really is a SUPER TUESDAY!! Cheers!! 💙🥂💙🥂💙 Oh, what a night! youtu.be/mTUhnIY3oRM?...

Y'all did it! Blue Tsunami!!!

People really don’t like seeing grandmothers ripped out of cars by masked thugs and kids zip tied as part of video promotions for MAGA social media influencers.

MAGA’s gonna lose it if Jay Jones wins tonight—and honestly, it’s looking like he will. If what he said was so awful, what does it say about your movement that a ton of people still voted for him? Maybe a little self-reflection is in order for the GOP.

Don’t know what’s going to happen today, but I do know this: People who oppose the corrupt, cruel, lawless madman in the White House would crawl butt ass naked over broken glass for miles right now to vote against him and his party.
