Sorry to repeat it but:
Having seen a lot of person-to-person showdowns w elected leaders, don't think I've ever seen as complete an "own" as Mamdani does w Trump here.
JDV should be furious
Cuckolded Republicans should be furious
Trump's actual kids should be furious
Trump will be furious—tomorrow

Trump's anti-DEI crusade hit healthcare when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, under Dr. Mehmet Oz, removed race questions from its kidney failure patient form. The problem is, those questions weren't about DEI. That data informed actual medical breakthroughs talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

I don't think the American military, in this era of instant GPS, mistakenly lands anywhere. This is a purposed affront to another nation's sovereignty and an act of cynical intimidation by some venal shitbirds who somehow are in command of our government.
DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.
Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.
Yet another example of total incompetence.

"Sir, did you just abuse and insult a journalist for asking a question? And did you publicly call a woman a piggie? Is this the way a U.S. President behaves?"
A reporter who so spoke loses WH credentials, maybe his job if his agency is gutless. But absent such, the entire WHPC is without honor.

What does it mean to search for home when your own country feels hostile? I write about Caryl Phillips, immigration, ICE brutality, Trumpism, Charleston’s history, my own years as an American abroad. It’s about belonging, dislocation, and the places that shape us.

So to get the two votes, rather than re-draft a no bill in the Comey case and present the new indictment to the grand jury, Halligan had the foreperson sign the new charges while a second grand juror WATCHED? Did Halligan just cuck justice?

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."
