The more we learn about Zohran Mamdani's upbringing, the clearer it becomes that he owes everything to his connected, well-to-do parents. by A.G. Sulzberger, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump, Jr.

Really?

I don’t understand camps saying: Dems need to follow the Mamdani model to win the midterms; or Dems need to follow the Spanberger model to win. It’s a big country. Different approaches work in different places. Candidates who connect w/their specific constituencies is the model.

I didn’t see until today that some people have named him The Hurl of Sandwich and I nearly wept with laughter at this.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Trump dumping brown liquid on protesters, both presidents have made some controversial earth-tone color choices.

Every single No Kings protest, all 2,500+ of them across the country, made Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership look like lying sacks of shit for all the bullshit that spewed out of their mouths about it this week. Again. Not very Christian.

Honorable mention for those who knew better - who call themselves progressives- and decided neither was good enough.

What the world is seeing from the classless, obnoxious, boorish behavior of fans at the Ryder Cup is another example of what US has become under Trump, where it’s encouraged and celebrated. He’s posted about the tournament several times, but never told them to stop being idiots.
