I need to know what Mamdani said that made Trump behave for once in his life
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

So it seems all the reviewers hate Wicked For Good, and it may just be nostalgia but I actually really liked it. Like the 2nd half of the stage show it’s kind of a mess where everything happens all at once, but I liked it. I liked the music, romance, anti- fascism, I had a great night!

I’m sure she will be singing her old tune about Jewish space lasers soon enough. No one needs to respect the act she is currently putting on.

Well Bari, given that your whole grift in life is to act as a propagandist while claiming to be a journalist I’m sure the point of standards is confusing to you. It is so much easier to just lie all the time.
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

If true, the most embarrassing thing about the shutdown ending this way is the fact that Schumer has clearly lost control of the party he claims to be the leader of.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

What isn’t going to work is betraying what you stand for and the people you are meant to represent.
8 Democratic senators did that today and there needs to be a price to pay for it.

Is there any party that actively tried to lose elections more than the current Democratic Party?
The weirdest thing about these articles is that they all understand that voters want likable politicians with a compelling vision who deliver meaningful benefits. That's not really the case for centrism though!

I don’t know why I ever have hope that the Democratic Party will grow a spine or will meet the moment but I should really stop doing it.
This is pathetic but it isn’t surprising. Schumer’s position from the day Trump got elected has been capitulation.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

We should add “a left wing candidate can’t win with a left wing platform” to that list.
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Election night went about as well as Dems could have hoped for last night and for me personally it was really nice waking up to good election news for the first time in a while.
Mamdani winning was the cherry on top and if anything proved we don’t need to settle for Newsom in 2028.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
