Mamdani didn’t turn out to be the radical Marxist revolutionary some built him up to be. That’s okay. Much to the disappointment of the far left and far right, he’s a city mayor fixing potholes, not the next leader of an intifada or the Sendero Luminoso.

Jon Ossoff: It's not just that you've hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office, and you have promoted neo-Nazi content online. It's that you're robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.

ICE shot someone else, this time in New York. For context, ICE is an out-of-control US paramilitary wing tasked with kidnapping people to keep corporate prisons filled so politicians can launder billions in profits back to themselves, while trafficking people across the planet.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

ICE arrested a dad with his son—then confusingly declared the boy "unaccompanied." As a result, he went to foster care. Scenes like this are playing out across the country. “They’re kidnapping people’s kids,” a former official told us. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Democrats are up double digits on the generic ballot. Republicans are breaking with Trump over taxpayer-funded ads. And a GOP senator accused Jack Smith of perjury, only to realize he had confused two basketball teams. If this is what the final stretch looks like, November cannot come soon enough.

Democrats rise as Trump and Vance campaign in GOP strongholds. Trump sparks Republican backlash. GOP Senator's gotcha attempt backfires hard.
