No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence.

This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

The left needs to recognize the market is infinitely malleable, we can change the rules to produce much less inequality cepr.net/publications...

The Left Needs to Learn to Love the Market; The Market is a Tool, not the Enemy

Progressives shouldn’t fight the market but fix the rules that let the rich rig it—patents, bankruptcy, and bailouts are policy choices, not the free market.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine

Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

America right now is an airplane that the crew is actively trying to dismantle mid-flight while at least half the passengers are sitting bare-knuckled just hoping we somehow eke out a survivable landing. (The other half are, inexplicably, rooting for the dismantling.)

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Lost many paid and free subscribers with my article calling out the anti-Muslim hate directed against Zohran Mamdani. Glad to lose the anti-Muslim bigots who liked my articles until they realized that I was Muslim. Bye bye bigots! :). deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-anti-m...

The anti-Muslim hate directed at Zohran Mamdani is not about defeating him-it’s about inciting violence against him

This is the hard truth.

SCOOP: several days ago Zohran Mamdani was overheard saying he "needs" to eat dinner. An inside source confirmed he had eaten breakfast and lunch that day, giving him an estimated 2+ weeks without additional calories before he might have died from starvation

Awful piece. Just because so many white people are culturally ignorant and don’t know that Aunt, Auntie, Cousin are all terms to describe family members or close friends of our parents - even if that’s not their blood connection. The racism, the desperation, the sheer…..smallness of these attacks!

In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr

Nothing has been decided except that the en banc panel will hear it and presumably a stay until they rule.

Mamdani inaccurately referred to his elder relative as an "aunt," so we clearly cannot trust him, unlike Andrew Cuomo who has a spotless record when it comes to people's elder relatives.

1/ The 9th Circuit will rehear the 2-1 panel decision in favor of the administration, permitting Trump to deploy NG troops in Portland while the litigation moves forward, en banc, which may signal a change.

These are not the times to articulate anything that subtle.

I want our Constitutional rights reinstated, ending partisan war on our own blue states and cities, ending imposition of misery to obtain political concessions, and judicially imposed return to accountability. That’s no specific ideology!

That wasn’t nasty; it was funny!

Most DSA members I know are pro-NATO and have been pro-Ukraine ever since Putin started his “special operation” of economic sabotage, child kidnapping, and murdering civilians for territorial gain. It’s MAGA that opposes support of Ukraine. I think that’s all clear.
