Zohran Mamdani won a victory for his own campaign in NYC but ALSO for a vision of the next Democratic Party: a bolder, more outspoken party that builds multiracial, multiethnic coalitions that speak directly to the aspirations of working-class voters — with an economic agenda that is on their side.

I really need to leave Facebook, because .. what the actual?

Bye bye!?! www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-m...

Amazing!

"Driven by higher-than expected turnout, voters across [Louisiana] delivered a blow to proposals pushed by Governor Jeff Landry." www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Wyoming!?!

We're just getting started... breathe!

A rare statement from Justice Roberts in response to Trump's post this morning: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

FYI: You are allowed to be a Democrat who also wants a stronger party. You are allowed to ask leaders like @schumer.senate.gov to step aside so others who understand the moment can lead. You are allowed to demand more than we are getting right now— and you deserve more too. #TheReformers

UPDATE: “Several members of DOGE arrived at USIP unannounced & accompanied by 2 FBI agents. They were met at the door by outside counsel who informed them of USIP’s private & independent status as a non-executive branch agency. Following that discussion, DOGE departed.” www.usip.org/press/2025/0...

If the intent wasn't to create an "undue burden on the people of Maine" then what was it???

Deja vu all over again?

This is heartening!

Good news for many of the fired government employees

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the reinstatement of Cathy Harris atop the Merit Systems Protection Board, ruling that Trump's decision to fire her exceeded his authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I grew up near Hanford, had relatives who worked there. Had relatives "down wind" who later developed cancer. The Hanford Site should be taken seriously www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Hugh Hewitt or John Solomon, whoa. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A "Saturday Night Massacre" on a Thursday...

But of course it is!

Farmers: “He was supposed to hurt other people, not us.”

"Surprisingly good leverage for a small little country [Denmark]."

A pleasant surprise...

I wonder when the flags will be lowered. The one I can see from here isn't yet at half mast

Jimmy Carter, Rest in Peace.

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?" Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

Wow! Reclaim the Records won against the US Dept of VA, and have online "the largest public and free data set of deceased American veterans who served from the late nineteenth century to mid-2020." They built an interface to order the records, online! www.reclaimtherecords.org/records-requ...

Personally, I’d be very happy to have Denmark purchase the U.S. Universal access to health care and education sounds pretty damn nice.

I'm not a fan of Liz Cheney, but very much respect her integrity, and am heartened by Rozenshtein's take on the situation.

The 1930s were such a special time -- that whole "Grapes of Wrath" era

It's interesting (not to mention worrisome!) what's been happening in North Carolina. "Additional lawsuits focused on different parts of the legislation are expected in coming days." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

By request, here are the torties and their mentor

Good morning from California

It hadn't occurred to me to worry about the GOP House adjourning the Senate, or that they'd even want to. And in our current situation, my current reading (the Trail of Tears and Andrew Jackson) is fascinating, horrifying!, and eerily worrisome...

Too true to life

Trump has pledged to get rid of the U.S. Department of Education, and members of Congress are eagerly introducing bills, but axing the agency is far easier said than done, our Shauneen Miranda reports for @statesnewsroom.com DC: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/unli...

Oregon's Governor Tina Kotek announced that the state has secured enough mifepristone to last for almost four years thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Fascinating (and good) news

Sigh...

BREAKING: Matt Gaetz has removed himself from consideration for Attorney General. I worry about somebody much more competent like Ken Paxton replacing him. But in all it’s good not to have Gaetz in that role.

Excellent!

Jeffrey Dahmer was very good on refrigeration
