Between 1941 and 1946, over 50,000 Panamanians —most of them Black— were stripped of their birthright citizenship. It was the first constitutionally sanctioned denationalization in the Americas. Yet, almost no one talks about it. 🧵👇 thefunambulist.net/magazine/fol...

As FEC deadlines approach, expect Dems to celebrate breaking fundraising records, driven by small donors. Chasing mega-donors is a trap that undermines their strongest weapon against GOP corruption. My research shows why Dems should reject big money and how they are, in fact, better off without it:

My theory that big money flows towards the absolute worst candidates remains undefeated.

A horizontal bar chart titled “Pro-Cuomo super pacs have flooded the mayoral fundraising race” showing fundraising by New York City mayoral campaigns and allied super pacs. The chart displays total fundraising amounts for seven candidates, with bars segmented into three categories: Campaign (dark blue), Matching public funds (dark red/maroon), and Allied super pacs (light green). Andrew Cuomo leads significantly with $35.6 million total, with the majority from allied super pacs. Other candidates shown are Zohran Mamdani ($9.1mn), Brad Lander ($7.5mn), Scott Stringer ($5.1mn), Eric Adams ($4.8mn), Zellnor Myrie ($4.2mn), and Adrienne Adams ($2.8mn). The chart demonstrates how pro-Cuomo super PAC funding dwarfs other candidates’ total fundraising efforts.

My working assumption is that the Administration sent Harvard a letter the school *had* to refuse precisely so that it could then publicly parade these additional consequences (more $$, IRS weaponization, foreign student decertification) as leverage over other schools and targets of its extortion.

This observation from Adam Carlson is one of the most clarifying I've seen about the standing of the White House. The President's approval is down significantly across a variety of metrics but that decline is being significantly muted by relatively strong approval on border/immigration.
