women, are they bitches?

It really is pretty shocking that Mamdani won even after referring to his dad’s cousin as his aunt when she was really his first cousin once removed

I guess he expects SCOTUS to strike down the tariffs

This article is fantastic. I know it is not a popular opinion here, but I remain convinced that we are well on our way to AGI being achieved in the medium and long term. Even with a global treaty banning it I think small groups will be capable of creating it by the middle of this century.

The thing about ceasefire negotiations is that it is really easy to kick up dust around them. Whatever happens with that, it’s clear the other side really isn’t enjoying how things are going right now.

A Few Day After the Election Thoughts talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-few...

Abigail Spanberger made history on Tuesday as the first woman to be elected governor of Virginia, winning the office by the largest margin of any Democratic candidate in the state in decades. Her campaign focused on jobs and the cost of living, while emphasizing her support for abortion rights.

The Court is once again upholding Article VIII of the Constitution, which clearly states that the president is allowed to do whatever he wants except break the economy.

Wait, what?

We are the difference between Democrats caving to Trump and building a unified opposition party that wins big by standing up to the regime. We’ve got a lot of work to do over the next year to take back Congress. Join the organizing that’s happening near you to win everywhere: indivisible.org/groups

Good morning to these future governors!

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

DC Conventional Wisdom Goes Down to Defeat in State after State talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dc-co...

Democratic women have made history tonight: Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia. Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey. I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

Thinking about sending a reporter to Teterboro Airport to watch all the oligarchs fleeing.

Maybe Dems fared so well tonight because release the Epstein files.

Alicia Menendez describes the difficult conditions get-out-the-vote organizers are facing in this election, as voters are afraid to even come to their doors.

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead. IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained. IRS Direct File: 2023-2025. (Story from when the pilot launched.)

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street.

Maryland Democrats are trying to fight back against Trump’s redistricting coup — but a powerful Democrat is opposing their attempts to level the playing field and unrig the midterm maps. Join us on Friday to make sure Senate President Bill Ferguson hears from the Maryland voters that he’s ignoring.

I find it interesting the DoJ didn’t hand over a complete grand jury transcript given Comey is alleging Halligan misled the grand jury.

Directly defying a court order so that he can withhold food from the poor

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.* The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

No FBI agent or federal prosecutor will now ever dare to investigate a Republican, a MAGA figure, or anyone with any connection to Trump, his family, or his businesses. To even look in the direction of such a possible target would be career suicide.

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Newsletter: Faced with blowback over his pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, President Trump has offered a curious defense: he doesn’t even know the guy.

I think Bluesky needs another growth spurt. How can we make more "juice" flow?

In the abstract, I would assume that prominent right-wing voices endorsing in an NYC election would be doing so to undermine that candidate. But that’s operating in a universe where those voices don’t belong to people who wildly misread their influence and popularity.

I have said this before, and I’ll say it again here: We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings. trib.al/ARRddzG

Ok so I want to shout out BlueSky tonight. This is our primary social media platform. We no longer post on vichy twitter, and we rarely get engagement on insta, threads, or tiktok. We just went out and got 1000 new/resubscriptions in two weeks almost completely from BlueSky this place has the juice

If you want new media you need to build it, and people need to subscribe. If Ellison and Musk want to spend hundreds of billions on legacy media and social networking sites we will need to build alternatives and turn those into bad investments.

Trump’s assault on SNAP doesn't just starve families. It exposes a cruel, long-running political project of the right. Cammy Pedroja examines how withholding food aid reinforces gender and class hierarchies that keep women from equality.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I love how Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche keep giving judges reason to invite them, personally, to testify under oath, which normal (D)AGs are way too smart to do.
