Quite obviously the real problem here is that *we have to ask the question* of what the President of the United States meant, exactly, when he said that Iran might nuke a major U.S. city.

We are facing a psychiatric emergency. We are facing a constitutional emergency. Anyone with eyes and ears who’s paying attention can see it. Our republic is teetering. The good news: We the people have the power to stop this accelerating descent before it’s too late.

For all of the Mamdani team's brilliance with social media, this is the most basic thing in the political playbook: Do good things for your constituents, then tell them about it. It shouldn't be as startling as it is! It's the job!

We have completely lost the plot in America, when seven men can drug and gang rape a woman who was in no condition to give consent and so much of the concern is for the “men’s” futures. There needs to he a reckoning when it comes to male-first framing and societal expectations.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

it’s genuinely fascinating how establishment democratic politics in big cities has become so ossified and incompetent that they’ve created a huge lane for the left to embrace good government reforms and build a broad coalition of socialists and technocrats

Well that depends. Do you think words have meanings? Like, when people say things, should we attach linguistic definitions to the words they use? Or do you think, like, you know, nothing really means anything, language is just kinda jazz and we should just kinda groove and zone out?
USA Today headline: Trump floats $5,000 checks 'if the Republicans win.' Is that a bribe?
