The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will now have to bow to his own daughters. He was *such* an asshole and so grand about protocol that it will KILL HIM to no longer be a prince.
This is worse than prison for a narcissist like him.
I wish Virginia Giuffre were alive to see this. Her courage ended him.

Yes. QEII was still alive when they were born, and great grandchildren aren’t styled prince/princess *unless* their parent is a direct heir to the throne.
Grandchildren get HRH tho, so they went from Master and Miss Mountbatten-Windsor to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet when Charles became king

That’s what Archie and Lilibet were called at birth, isn’t it?

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

I know its VERY besides the point, but Mr. Totally Real Catholic boy posts a video of a king crowning himself. Newb shit.
It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.
And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."
