well, that seems like the ballgame for the primary at least.

yeah, this seems awesome. racist reactionary cops who hate the city self transferring out. no downsides.

hard to remember that the wapo was actually distinguished by being significantly better than the nyt in trump's first term. 1

Now we know why he’s going to their game tomorrow.

not a huge fan of swalwell's, but the admin has made it easy for him to kick them, and he is able to take advantage of that.

I have to assume is not going to end until Andrew Cuomo has lost every election in the state of New York at least twice

there wasn't a demographic realignment. there was a massive anti incumbent sentiment driven by inflation which pushed every demographic to vote against Ds.

every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.

Your Saturday morning read. “Brandon Johnson and the grassroots coalition of organizers who elected him say it’s time for the wealthy to pay their fair share, a sentiment echoing throughout America and emphasized by the Nov. 4 mayoral election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani.”

a master class in management; just fire all the competent and intelligent people and hire low rent turds for brains, and you too can...

amazing how quickly Bezos has turned the WaPo editorial page from a well respected institution to a low rent clownshow that somehow makes the WSJ editorial page look sober and reasonable

Expected a thermostatic effect, but nothing this big. One of the more important facets of this election, imo.

trump finally convinced latino voters that he does in fact hate them and want to kill them.

latino voters swinging 60 points against trump is really something

tough numbers for the golden child of the pro-moderation crowd

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

there have been passionate Jewish antizionists since zionism existed. well before Israel was established. 1

First-of-its-kind LGBTQIA+ hotline in Illinois offers support amid sweeping attacks, @nberlat.bsky.social reports.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

longer and very good explainer from @stevevladeck.bsky.social trying to get into the possible thinking behind this from Jackson

the exact mechanisms change...the white supremacy is still kind of the core problem...

okay, deleted my post about the SC decision because I'm not sure I understand what's going on exactly.

Referring the admin’s emergency petition to the whole court would have slowed down getting the payments out. We expect a First Circuit decision within the next day, day and a half. Monday a.m. tops. Stay tuned.

NO FOOD FOR YOU

My latest, in @msnbc.com, on how ICE, CBP, and Bovino may be overplaying their hand in Chicago. Also: this will only make hiring go ICE harder. And: I hope ppl appreciate that the lying Judge Ellis calls out is NOT an aberration, but a very consistent problem w police claims.

there's a pretty big difference between saying, "I am a Democrat but I disagree with some of my colleagues and will therefore vote against (say) gun control" and "the Democratic party has lost touch with the electorate as shown by their position on gun control and they must follow my lead"

Corporate media: Democrats need to stop being out of touch with Real America

"Boyd was 22 when she was shot by an off-duty police officer in 2012. The officer, Dante Servin, was later acquitted, and that verdict became a rallying point for the #SayHerName movement and a reckoning over how the city values the lives of Black women and girls." www.wbez.org/arts/2025/11...

I mean, if you look at Golden's numbers, he was not winning that seat. unclear he could win a primary. his retirement won't be why that seat flips. his retirement is the only chance we're got to win the seat, I think.

Pal, I appreciate the input, but the fact is that I Iive in ME-02, in a town that Trump won in 2024 two to one Even here, the mood on Trump has been souring enormously We don't need Jared Golden. That's a lie that people tell themselves to avoid holding electeds like Jared Golden accountable

Easily the worst thing about Jared Golden was that when ICE abducted a child from his very own city, Lewiston, he didn't call the mom or anything

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump & USDA going to Supreme Court to try and STOP SNAP Benefits from being distributed. This is truly the MOST evil thing I have ever witnessed by a sitting Administration. Absolutely DESPICABLE! www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...

yeah; being very pro tariff was...a poor choice. even republicans hate the tariffs.

And Golden’s unfavorability numbers are consistent with him pissing off D voters in his district by catering to R’s, and persuading approximately no R voters to vote for him. It’s all party brand. Embrace being a D and build that brand. That is t OPPOSITE of the Bazelon WelcomePAC quantbrain plan.

yeah, I mean...we just saw Ds of every ideological stripe win sweeping victories in every kind of district. it seems pretty clear that Golden's strategy of running against the Ds a la Manchin and Sinema has backfired spectacularly in an era of massive backlash to MAGA.

he sinemad himself. I think fetterman is in real trouble.

An actual audit of police overtime, pursued by an honest agency, would end with a staggering number of people in jail

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

the one thing in media that's gotten unequivocally better is that G. Elliott Morris is now the goto polling guru rather than Nate Silver.

The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.
