finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

hoping for a not guilty verdict tomorrow for sandwich guy 🤞🤞🤞

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Zohran has now gotten more votes, in New York City alone, than 49 members of the U.S. Senate did when they get elected; It's likely that, when the final tally is complete, he'll have gotten more votes than half of all Senators currently in office. *This* is what power and purpose looks like.

The video now rapidly circulating (which also does not have a date or time marked) does not blur this poor woman's face. Here's one that does: wgntv.com/news/chicago...

“the only people who lose are the jews” is an insanely anti-semitic thing to say about someone who is trying to make society more fair

thank you mamdani 🙏

it's been a really bad long shitty time for people who care about victims of rape and sexual abuse, and those who've suffered it. drubbing someone who perpetrated it gleefully and believed he was entitled to power despite it is part of this.

if silva hadn’t already returned the sewers he’d be so insulted right now

it was appalling when cuomo didn’t drop out after the primary, but i am glad he got his ass whipped twice

time for the green shoots to be spicy

i’d bet if i were to look at schumer’s long career there’d be good accomplishments to look back on. (honestly not sure if that’s true, but i can assume it might be). but, like feinstein, he’s only going to be remembered for this humiliating last chapter where he’s completely despised.

Incredible

Cannot believe he said this under oath.

if you live long enough, you’ll get to see monsters do something likable

Dick Cheney lived long enough to witness the horrors he had unleashed.

Bomb threats disrupting voting in New Jersey today, which has a competitive governor election. As with LibsofTikTok and bomb threats to hospitals, the Online Right has seen they can do this to force closures. Preview of 2026 midterms? Either way, states should be working on plans to deal with it.

can’t believe king george came back from the dead just to endorse cuomo, there’s a guy who has america’s best interest at heart

if i respond “okay” after you talk it’s because you’ve said a sentence like this

i’m sure if she had not been aloof, nypost would have happily embraced her

their only move is to keep taking out hostages

“an immigrant with broken english became the richest man in the world” is an inspiring story in an alternate universe

here are 3 unrelated things: (1) donald trump is wildly unpopular (2) unpopular presidents are elected out; unpopular kings are beheaded (3) trump should stop talking about being a king if you DO relate those 3 things, you’d note that item 3 is important for his sake, not just the country’s

the best thing mamdani can do is keep his campaign-level media game going once he’s in office. he’s going to need it.

it’s “don’t tread on ME” not “don’t tread on ANYONE”

New graffiti art in my Rogers Park, Chicago, neighborhood.

maybe argentina will buy them, they are flush with (our) cash

i’d bet you can buy a skeleton with a beaver tail at home depot

2,400 year-old skeleton mosaic reads: “Be cheerful, enjoy your life” Discovered in Turkey

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

My last Halloween as a Controller. Time for a (Nintendo) Switch.

The minimum wage of $7.25 per hour results in an annual salary of $15k for a full-time worker. If this robot is $20k, it’s a sign that people and our inherent skills are significantly undervalued. A robot that could do what I do when I putz around the house would be worth several million dollars

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

This is fucking amazing

50/50 chance andrew ends up at mar a lago who’s gonna tell trump no

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

I'd say that you can find good in many people who voted for Trump, but you won't find it in their reasons for voting for Trump or in their ideas about politics. I know Trump voters who can be kind and generous and loving. If you ask why they voted for Trump they'll give you misinfo and bigotry.

Yes. One of the most powerful drivers of elite political discourse right now is wishful thinking: We don't want what's happening to be happening, so we make up a story in which it in less bad and more fixable than it is. All very understandable but it is false and not helping!

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records. We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility. They’re disappearing people. No due process. No accountability.

this is so confusing. how does this make youtube money

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

I live 100ft away from a retired House rep in his 80s who I see at least monthly at our neighborhood social; he has said to me almost verbatim what Duncan said here. Older members are terrified of walking away from the 20-person 24/7 support network you can't even get in a high end nursing home.

more like barely-managing editor of the free press, amirite

i guess i’m really naive but i would’ve things like this couldn’t happen without at least some friction. like, there’s the pilot, the techs and maintenance folks, airport staff. this is in the open. aren’t more regular people who have to see this shit saying or doing something in the moment?
