Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. š When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. ITāS A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said. There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.

I find it wild that more people are talking about Tom Hanks instead of the multiple thousands of people who showed up to protest in DC yesterday.

Worth noting: Mayor Muriel Bowser kissed the ring at Mar-a-Lago in December so Trump would force federal workers back to their offices. He fired them instead. In July, she said she got rid of BLM Plaza to protect DC autonomy. That's not going well either.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Just saw on your Twitter that Bub and Pops was getting charged $19k/month for a small basement space downtown. That is insanity. That space was teeny tiny. Is that a normal price? Is that part of the reason why restaurants downtown are struggling so much?

Loooool, Liverpool how you toy with my emotions!! Also, it'd be just our luck for Trent to get another yellow for a defensive tackle after taking off his shirt, resulting in him getting thrown out of the game šš¤£

What really ruined my viewing experience of the White Lotus finale is that Zion tells Greg he was a business major at "U of H". Anyone who went to the University of Hawaii knows it's referred to as UH, NOT U of H. Like hearing nails on a chalkboard for me š
