A standing ovation for Beto calling on Schumer to resign. These are not normal times. People are ready to oust Democrats that bow down to Trump. Some driving 2 hours to see Beto and Walz speak. Will be posting more clips from their town hall.

“I cannot think of a community I care more about and I’m absolutely exploring if I can rise to the occasion for this moment. It’s been an honor and a lot of fun in the short time I’ve been talking to people in our community,” Boylan told The Post re a likely run for NYC city council district 3.

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day.
When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

Cutting property taxes for Oregonians affected by wildfires. Canceling planned freeway tolls. Pausing local new taxes in the Portland area. We have to keep going to make life more affordable for Oregonians.

wow, if only literally every other developed country in the world had done some version of universal healthcare, then we might have some information to work off here. As it is I guess we're just flying blind.
How much are you going to pay doctors?
Which current hospitals get shut down ?
What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?
How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?

Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.

Stephen Miller finds it impossible for anyone else to consider immigrants as human beings so he's happy to go on air and say "would those journalists host the people we deported for a night to keep them out of torture prison?" as though getting people out wasn't exactly the point of the reporting.

It’s funny that Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn’t refer to the people who buy Trump’s crypto, bible, hats, flags, truck decals, t-shirts, wine, gold coins, or shop at Trump themed stores.
Shamp’s Senate Bill 1070 would direct the #Arizona Dept of Health Services to conduct or support research to “advance the understanding of Trump Derangement Syndrome, including its origins, manifestations and long-term effects on individuals, communities and public discourse.”

Goldman refused to endorse Mamdani, closed his Brooklyn office on 9th Street, presumably to insulate himself from constituents, and is just... never around. Yes, he's done better on civil rights this year. But Lander would be a MASSIVE trade up.
CNN mentions none of this, of course.
