Trump's attempt to shift the pain of the shutdown onto Democrats might work on Fox News, but it will become much harder as the pain continues to increase. Especially since he himself admits Republicans could end it. www.pbump.net/o/the-shutdo...

Former New York Post "political reporter," now at Free Beacon. So many people so happy to take their masks off, to the extent that they were wearing masks.

Yep. On it.

The FBI is trying to unmask the owner of infamous archiving site Archive.is, according to a subpoena the site posted. No other information given, the site quietly posted the document a few days ago. FBI telling domain registrar to hand over all sorts of ID'ing info www.404media.co/fbi-tries-to...

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

Change in Headline

Not sure I’ve ever seen a GIF as a kicker, much less one that is so well done.

Telling. On. Yourself.

The change in county-level vote gubernatorial margins in Virginia since 2013 and 2021. (About 140 more maps and charts at the link.) www.pbump.net/o/what-chang...

Trumpism is about homogeneity, imposing an autocratic vision if we like it or not. Which makes opposition to Trumpism necessarily about diversity. Why not lean into that as a unifying message? www.pbump.net/o/democracy-...

Just the laziest liars.

They’ll probably give it to the people in charge of construction for the Qatar facilities.

All of the conspiracy theorizing, extremism and polarization with none of the decades of “business acumen” and public awareness? Sure, go for it. bsky.app/profile/eric...

brilliant gambit sir

“.. There were no counties or cities (as of writing) that moved right relative to four years ago. On average, they instead moved 13 points to the left.” @pbump.com #Virginia www.pbump.net/o/what-chang...

Wrote about the election (at length). An excerpt: www.pbump.net/o/democracy-...

My guess? He did the thing where he misreads the teleprompter (skipping from commentary about Cuba to South Africa) and then refuses to acknowledge he misspoke. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Man, who knew John Rocker had racist thoughts about New York City?

Over his two terms, the government has been shut down for about 1 out of every 24 days Trump has been president. The runner up is Bill Clinton, whose presidency saw the government shutdown for 1 out of every 108 days.

They are soooooo mad. (They also blame TikTok.)

Took a detailed look at the results in Virginia and how they shifted from 2012 to 2025. Does it include more than 130 charts? Yes. 1/3 www.pbump.net/o/what-chang...

As I wrote this morning, the Democratic Party as an institution is bafflingly committed to the idea that it must be less inclusive in order to grow. So we see growth happen outside the party. www.pbump.net/o/democracy-...

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team Details TK

This was an amazing read

I took some time to think about what I thought about Tuesday night and have now written those thoughts down. www.pbump.net/o/democracy-...

Surprised he heard about it.

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Made a table showing how many households, kids, seniors and people with disabilities used SNAP last year in districts currently represented by Republicans. www.pbump.net/o/heres-how-...

Appreciate him articulating this explicitly although people will continue to rationalize bsky.app/profile/atru...

remember this great new york post scoop from yesterday morning?

How often American adults were able to correctly identify the sitting president during major political events. www.pbump.net/o/someone-fi...

Unsurprising that, after his party got its ass whipped, Trump would lean into vote fraud horseshit. A little surprising, though, that no one has yet told him that anonymous grocery shopping remains not just possible but the norm.

It is funny that there are so many cool cities in New York and California but we dump their capitals in Albany and Sacramento.

One of those elections where taking poll numbers and adding in a bunch of magical Republican voters simply didn't work. :(

Mamdani quotes Eugene V. Debs, who earns a roar of approval just at the mention of his name.

This is exactly why the numbers in the recent Trump polls that jumped out at me were the shift from strong Republican approval to somewhat approval. www.pbump.net/o/the-number...

Again, these are not final exit poll results (since they are reweighted multiple times over the course of a night) but this coalition is striking.

There are 133 counties and county-equivalents in Virginia and New Jersey. In 127 of them, the vote shifted to the Democrats since November 2024. On average, the shift was 6 points to the left.

In his concession speech, Cuomo says, "this campaign was to contest the philosophies that are shaping the Democratic Party, the future of the city and the future of this country." Well.

One of the high points of my early years at The Post, as a kid who grew up in New York in the 1980s, was having a byline on Mario Cuomo's obituary. The extent to which that surname was tarnished prior to the past few months and absolutely dragged into the gutter in the past few weeks is staggering.

I'm fine with the Cuomo Cope being "IT'S SLIWA'S FAULT" when there was (and is) a non-zero chance that it could have been "VOTER FRAUD."

Every single block I ever lived on in NYC went for Mamdani.

And Mamdani passes 1 million tallied votes.

Sherill's lead in New Jersey is currently larger than Spanberger's in Virginia.

I'm mad. Please put in the newspaper that I'm mad.

It's probable that young people (and people overall) moved left after 2024. But I'd be cautious about sweeping analyses like this based on incompletely weighted exit polls and relatively small populations.

Look, if there's one thing we can say about Andrew Cuomo, it's that he takes failure gracefully.
