“The failure isn’t presumptively just on Schumer and the seven-plus rank-and-file senators who voted to cave. Assuming there are no consequences for the leadership failure, it’s also on the rest of the caucus.” @brianbeutler.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/brianbeu...

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis
Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Today is the first day of the rest of the end of Andrew Cuomo's political career.

Some of the most acute and intense cowardice ever seen.
Just hours before polls are set to close, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declined to reveal who he cast his vote for in the New York City mayoral election amid his continued rejection to endorse the Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani. bit.ly/49CEVpN

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

I don't think people outside of NYC fully see how incredibly RACIST Cuomo's campaign has been. It rivals any of the most racist campaigns of the 20th century. Just racism all the way down.

Trump says he doesn’t know who Changpeng Zhao is even though he’s one of Trump’s most controversial pardon recipients. More proof of what I wrote last week — that Trump Is mentally unfit to be president.

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.
