This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

I just wanna take a second to say that if you are in the early stages of being romantically involved with someone and they are prone to extremely angry outbursts over seemingly minor things, run--don't walk--away.

you may not be the target of that anger yet, but don't wait until you are.

I trust Dolly’s message, although when you’re 79 surgery is scary. Hell, it’s always scary.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Let's get something clear: when it comes to racist, fascist, homophobic entities, what we are NOT going to do is use weight/fatness as a lazy insult when there is plenty of other material to work with. Being fat is not a moral failing. Being unscrupulous piece of shit is.
