The most analogous person to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement is D.C. Stevenson and the rise of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan one hundred years ago. Read about it and see if you don’t agree.

the extent to which leftists are comfortable becoming outright anti-Jewish and saying things they would never say about any other marginalized group, usually while trivializing the Holocaust, is horrifying

A new Ukrainian strategy on the front is delivering surprising results. Ukraine may be winning the war of attrition, The Atlantic reports. Russia expected quick gains in northeastern Ukraine, but key cities and logistics hubs remain firmly under Ukrainian control.

Up to 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia.

It is reported that Cubans are promised about $2,000 per month - far more than they can earn at home. It is also possible that they are promised jobs in construction but then sent to the frontlines.

He wasn't unknown & was part of the Uncommitted BS that led to the Abandon Harris BS that helped ensure Trump would win the Blue Wall.
Leftists spent 2024 boasting about how they wouldn't vote for Biden, then Harris, but don't want to take responsibility now.
You got what you wanted. Harris lost.

Jake Tapper, his daughter and Bari Weiss are all just one big happy media family getting rich off Trump being in office

It's no different than what he's already said. He thinks Trump is a personality disorder and not a dementia issue.

Honestly, the worse part of the episode was when he said he had a soft spot in his heart for Bari Weiss because she promoted his daughter. Yay for nepotism!

The reality is that the US Department of Homeland Security has been openly seized by unapologetic white nationalists who freely indulge in neo-Nazi rhetoric and use their huge and growing paramilitary army to mount massive attacks on communities of color in the US in a campaign of racist oppression

This is important. The GOP can open the government literally today with zero Democrats. Just ditch the filibuster. Go ahead. Why won’t they do it?

Murshed Zaheed @murshedz.bsky.social · 5d

Good to see resolve/resilience from rank and file and House Democrats. Good on @rephuffman.bsky.social daring the republicans to abolish the filibuster ▶️ "[L]et them proceed with GOP votes and let the country see with perfect clarity who owns all the damage and destruction they're fomenting." (1/2)

"🩺 Zoom in: Some Democrats openly acknowledge that, while health care is extremely important to them, it's not the only thing at stake.

🛑 "People want this to be a sort of reckoning, where people finally said, 'No,'" Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) told us.
"We're going to start with these ACA subsidies because it's the most urgent," Landsman told us.
"But ... you're creating a really important moment where sh*t didn't fly."
The bottom line: "I marvel at the naivete of any Democrat who thinks we should give them Dem votes so they can just turn around and ignore us, crash the health care system, and dismantle what's left of our democracy," Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) told us.

"The filibuster is toast anyway," he added, effectively daring Republicans to ignore the Senate's requirement for 60 votes and pass a party-line funding bill.
"So let them proceed with GOP votes and let the country see with perfect clarity who owns all the damage and destruction they're fomenting.""

Meiselas: Another critical reason MAGA Mike is telling Republicans that the House is officially closed is because he’s trying to avoid swearing in Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.. She would be the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.

Here’s what I think is going to happen: Mamdani is going to win, because Cuomo is a crap alternative. But Mamdani will end up being a historically bad mayor for the city, at a time when it needs a really good mayor to deal with Trump.
