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.

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy"

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Liberals and progressives are the only ones with any agency, according to most political discourse. You *never* hear about a conservative need to understand liberals. It’s always on the left to fix things.
This is what everyone always means when they complain about "polarization"

Ever since I wrote this piece after the election, organizations reach out to like "do you have time to talk about what we can do to support progressive creators?" I reply: I don't need an hour, they need money. Full stop. That's what we need. And just like that these orgs vanish!

so much wrong with this and the framing - obviously! - but also a great example of how certain media fixation with “coming up with a clever name for blatantly obvious shit/trends” ends up whitewashing whats going on and misinforming an audience. it’s a media pathology
www.axios.com/2025/02/13/t... 🚨🚨 President Trump and Elon Musk, arguably the two most unorthodox and influential American leaders of the 21st century, are practicing and fine-tuning a fused theory of governing power -> Masculine maximalism.
Behind the Curtain: Trump and Musk's masculine maximalism reshapes government
The biggest shift is the instant imposition of this new power theory across all of government and the Republican Party.

52-48, Senate votes to confirm RFK Jr. as the next Health and Human Services secretary.
All Republicans voted YES except one: Mitch McConnell, who joined all Democrats in voting NO.

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed
Schumer's strategy of allowing/encouraging Dems to vote for the "normal" nominees in order to try and peel off Republican defections to block Hegseth/RFK/Gabbard appears to have completely failed.
It appears there is little to no resistance from Senate Republicans to the nomination of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary

If you wish to vote in New York City's mayoral Dem primary in JUNE (=the election that'll pretty much decide the next mayor), you must be registered as a Democrat *BY FRIDAY.*
An insanely early deadline bound to leave people vote out. At least make sure you're not one of them if you're interested!
