the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

It’s hilarious how something simple like “people are sharing Amazon links to buy the same costumes” gets filtered through these conspiratorial grifters’ minds and becomes “They are highly organized.”

Leadership looks like repeating the truth again and again and refusing to back down to bullies and pressure.

It looks like using your platform and leverage-- whatever it may be -- for the larger good.

So grateful to Pritzker and everyone else modeling this now.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12h

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Fact check:

@propublica.org is an outstanding news organization that does fact based reporting. The work is credible, reliable, timely and without fear or favor. If you aren't already familiar with ProPublica, give it a read: www.propublica.org.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12h

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

The woman caller was a Republican.
She didn't know they would come for her too.
But they're coming for everyone - unless you're a billionaire, that is.

Social media post:

More Perfect Union
@MorePerfectUS
Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson:
"I have two medically fragile children ... lf
we see a lapse in pay come the 15th, my
children do not get the medication that's
needed for them to live their life because
we live paycheck to paycheck."

MORE PERFECT UNION

@RubenGallego
When a mother calls C-SPAN and pleads
with Mike Johnson, "My kids could die ...
you could stop this," it tells you everything
you need to know about his party.

Spent well, oil money could fund infrastructure or public services. But in countries where authoritarian regimes are looking shaky, it could also grease the wheels of patronage or the barrels of guns

The DNC didn’t lose the election. Voters lost the election.

I’m not sure why this is so hard to grasp.

If you didn’t want a dictator then your vote should have reflected that.

Y’all will blame everyone but yourself but there were only 2 viable choices on your ballot & the DNC wasn’t a choice.

Lie Detector @dementiawatch.bsky.social · 10h

And, a lot of us who know the history of the DNC misuse of identity did not do that.

The DNC lost two elections to George Bush

and

Another two to Donald Trump

Mainly because the DNC has betrayed workers for decades.
