All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

You know what would be a great way to celebrate Mamdani’s historic win? Donate to a food bank. Give to community fridges. Call and check on your disabled or elderly neighbour and see if they need groceries. SNAP still hasn’t been funded and people need help now.

In their last Tesla earnings call, Musk said "it isn't about the money", and then one of his C-suite proceeded to beg everybody to approve the compensation package.

46 percent That striking figure shows how much of America’s imports are now subject to tariffs as Trump transforms the country’s trade policy. Their downstream economic effects were in the background of yesterday’s elections, which showed that Trump’s long-running advantage on the economy is gone.

Good morning to these future governors!

Holder: I don’t think Jim Comey stands any chance of being convicted. I think the same is true for Letitia James. But to have a former insurance lawyer—someone who has never been a criminal prosecutor—present a case to a grand jury simply at the call of the President is extremely dangerous.
