MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

it may feel a little like homework, but i genuinely think people should read the lincoln-douglas debates to see what the practical politics of anti-slavery looked like in an environment where the public was neutral to hostile to the question of emancipation

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass?

That’s just evil and cruel.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · Jul 3

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.

His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Schumer and Jeffries should condemn this and demand an apology from the President - or they should resign, or be primaried.

Burnett: Do you like capitalism?

Mamdani: No, I have many critiques of capitalism.

Yes! For too long it has been taboo to discuss legitimate critiques of capitalism in mainstream US media. This has shut down any chance of implementing real solutions to social crises. A new day is coming.

Tonight’s win was almost entirely conceived and powered by organized members of the largest socialist organization in the country. It’s truly almost impossible to believe.
