The Democratic Party must now become the pro-release the file party and anyone who doesn’t want to capitalize on this astounding gift because of fear of retribution by the Clintons should retire and never be heard from again.

"The misrepresentation of Zohran is almost unprecedented to me... He is not an antisemite." @billdeblasionyc.bsky.social on how he challenges people who say Mamdani is antisemitic to provide proof & they never can, it's just what they heard. My full interview with him: zeteo.com/p/bill-de-bl...

Oppo research on Mamdani is going swimmingly. So far, they’ve exposed that a man born in Africa and living in America checked “African-American” on a college application and he eats certain foods with his hands (which predictably has broken the brains of the already braindead). Go, donor class!

I’m sick of the mainstream media using euphemisms and other weasel wording to soft-pedal the Trump regime’s corruption. Rather than committing crimes, Trump “sidesteps laws.” Rather than lying, he’s “untethered to truth” or “inverting the facts.” Read my latest Stop the Presses newsletter.

The uber rich throwing tantrums over Mamdani is funny because at any point over the last 30 years, these people could have made baseline concessions to the working class and probably avoided a lot of this resentment, but they couldn’t bring their greedy arrogant selves to do it, so here we are.

A useful hack I have come up with for American politics: If a billionaire is telling you that a certain candidate is “out of touch with the common man,” that means you should vote for that candidate.

With his easy smile, his ubiquity, and his steady rise in the polls, Zohran Mamdani embodied his campaign’s essential theme: that life in New York doesn’t have to be so oppressively hard.

I hate to be that guy and I don’t think Kamala Harris would have made a particularly good or effective president, but can we dispense once and for all with the lazy, uninformed, and obnoxious trope that “both sides suck?” Sure, both sides do suck. Both diarrhea and pancreatic cancer suck, but…

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

All in all it was a bad day for the sort of person who converts to Roman Catholicism to wield its LOTR style lore against all the people they hate but in insufficiently rigorous Protestant fashion. Sadly unlike in LOTR, it's unlikely a giant spider will eat any of them.

Don't put in the newspaper that she is a history buff. The review of the Smithsonian museums for "improper ideology" is being led by a 35-year old lawyer who has no experience or credentials in history or museum studies. But one supporter says she is an avid "fan of history."🗃️

She told Trump the Smithsonian needs changing. He’s ordered her to do it.

There are two major political parties in this country. One is center-right. The other is far right. If you find yourself somewhere between the two, you are not a ‘moderate.’ That’s all.
