The reason oligarchs & the political/media class they own had a months-long elite freakout over @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is not because of any one of his policy proposals - but because his win would mean they no longer get to buy every election and control every political outcome.
Pass it on.
Pass it on.
Who’s Afraid Of Zohran Mamdani?
The mayoral candidate defeated the master plan for the first time ever — and that’s prompted an elite panic about who gets to control political outcomes.

I’ve read a lot of takes on the shutdown cave, but this one is really important
What’s the difference between compromise and capitulation? Compromise trades concessions. Capitulation pays ransom to stop deliberate suffering, and teaches your opponent that coercion works. There are effective responses to coercive bargaining. What we saw was not one of them.

There is no numbness. Only a weird shrug from media and journalists that make us feel we're living on another planet where nothing matters and everything is the same. Where ethics, morality and honor have gone to die. The Fourth Estate is the problem, not the American people.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.
As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

It's been almost two weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Science discarded,
The art of critical thinking flayed,
While fools weave
Their insubstantial dreams,
Brittle as new ICE,
Ever eager to please
The orange waste on the throne,
That demands only the dullness
Of unremarkable subservience.
