this describes a supermajority of Mamdani's supporters

by far the best indicator of whether someone is going to support Mamdani is whether they're an ideologically committed Democrat

Anyways « PR and DC shouldn’t be states because we luv guns » is crazy

Used to literally be DOJ policy and was the basis for the Rosenstein memo justifying firing Comey.

Is there really a gap in enforcement authorities, though? Aren’t we talking about federalizing the NG without the consent of the governor of the concerned state?

This Caribbean-eastern Pacific what?

The Pentagon has disclosed another strike that killed three more people in this Caribbean-eastern Pacific offensive. Here are the skimpy details. And our tracker has been updated. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

I mean you referenced 1968 so that’s literally what we’re talking about here

Clever to call all movement to the left "an embrace of civil rights." Beautifully elides everything from moving left in the Cold War and national defense to the ginormous social programs that Bill Clinton finally agreed to restrain.
"It's because of civil rights" is a comforting story.

Speaker Johnson has decided to keep the House in recess all through next week. This will be the seventh consecutive week of recess for the chamber. It has not been in session since Sept. 19.

Apparently there was a Gatsby party at Mar a Lago, while Trump is trying to kick 42 million off SNAP

Seems like a really easy question that gives Mamdani an opportunity to glaze New Yorkers!

arrogantmonkey.bsky.social @arrogantmonkey.bsky.social · 2d

Was Mamdani’s an asset some variation of « you know your fastball does by move the way you think it does? ». This looks like a confrontational question but also right in Mamdani’s wheelhouse

Upon reflection the funnier part of the post is the idea that big city liberals aren’t aware of this aesthetic and how it resonates with certain people

Can’t throw one down the middle like that and not expect Mamdani to put it in the upper deck

Mamdani: You know, there wasn’t a single New Yorker I spoke to who told me the reason they were voting for Donald Trump was so he could spend $300 million on renovating a White House ballroom.

Though I think she’s basically a grifter working on behalf of the party. Democrats hate Mitch McConnell and give her money, she kicks it up to the party and to other campaigns.
