as much as we rightfully crap on Dems who are not meeting the moment, Chris Van Hollen has been great and Maryland should be proud of him

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win
Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.

While Dems held the majority in the Senate in 2023 & 2024, Repubs held the majority in the House. This is why they couldn't pass a reconciliation bill. Repubs consistently voted against these requests

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

The Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans.
U.S. weighs destroying $500 million in stockpiled covid tests
The government is reviewing proposals to shut down the program that ships free covid tests to American households and has been considering destroying 160 million tests.

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

Donald Trump blasted a Christian bishop, claiming she was a hater for preaching a message of compassion for fellow human beings. I’m not a Christian, but if Christ were real and alive today I’m pretty sure he’d take the side of the bishop over Trump. Am I wrong about that?
Trump exploded in fury at Bishop Marian Budde on Truth Social a little after midnight, calling her a "hater."
As we argue on today's pod, there is nothing MAGA despises more than appeals to common decency and humanity.
