The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

Thirdway has a memo out about how Mamdani's politics won't work in the rest of the country but they wrote it before he won and forgot to replace "X%" with his actual margin. lol.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it.
A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.

I saw a Cuomo ad last night that was basically "if there's another 9/11, we need a mayor with experience like Andrew Cuomo," and it made me wonder, wait, what was Andrew Cuomo doing on 9/11?
Well, he was probably preoccupied with damage control for this:

![PROBE RIPS ANDY IN $130M HUD MESS
By Deborah Orin
Published Sep. 10, 2001, 4:00 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON – Federal watchdogs today will testify that Andrew Cuomo’s “lax oversight” let crooks loot a housing program for the poor that will now cost taxpayers $130 million to bail out.
At issue is Cuomo’s role as Bill Clinton’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development and his pet home-ownership program for the poor, which collapsed in scandal.
Today’s bipartisan congressional hearing was called by Rep. Sue Kelly (R-Westchester), with Reps. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) – who backs Cuomo’s gubernatorial rival Carl McCall – and Felix Grucci (R-L.I.) also expected.
“Decisions made during [Cuomo’s] tenure opened up this program to widespread fraud and abuse while the concerns of federal investigators were ignored,” Kelly said.
The program was supposed to help poor people fix up housing. But instead, it left tenants stuck in 719 homes – including almost 200 Harlem brownstones – that are mostly a mess, in foreclosure and, in some cases, without heat.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cnpe7qvcyjrhm6w7w7e4atur/bafkreihyqpupyp3u22r7upavo3tpwgtjgseq5ay77oq6vodleupm75cqny@jpeg)

Probably safe to declare the American experiment an objective failure when unelected British monarchs are held to higher standards of accountability.
OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

I hate MattY way less than the rest of you but I agree he's useless because of this. None of this works when the other guys get activated by whatever rumor and hearsay Fox or worse ONN puts on the wire.
Matty correctly understands that the nationalization of media and edpol has meant that this dynamic no longer works; people in Nebraska do actually vote based on what they see on TV about Baltimore. His solution to this is to establish a Leninist vanguard party-style control over all Dem policy.
The idea that Democrats should adopt nationally popular but locally unpopular positions in locations where they have supermajority control of politics makes no sense. That's exactly where you should implement correct policies that the rest of the country nonetheless dislikes!

I think the bigger issue, which Matty remains mysteriously silent on, is that putting police and prison abolition on a list of "unpopular democratic policies" is treated as so obvious as to not even merit comment, but saying republicans want to do project 2025 was roundly condemned by the media
Here with yellow checkmarks we have five examples of real things that Gavin Newsom and leading California Democrats espouse. Not a straw man.
My take is Democrats should drop these ideas, ideas that do not sound at all like economic populism to me.

While Tylenol remains a tool recommended by medical professionals to treat pain and fever during pregnancy, the state of Texas is suing the makers of the medication for allegedly hiding unproven links to autism and other disorders. Scientists have found no such causal relationship.
