He looks awful. His hair is growing in all patchy and he has a stringy beard. I love this for him.

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes ... about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history

This is a horrible article. Jeffries is referring to promises Mamdani made and broke to one of the incumbents and hurt feelings from other progressive groups. If Mamdani is half the politician I think he is, he will mend fences with Working Families and the unions. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...

Screen shot: In the race’s final days, Mr. Mamdani exhausted himself shuttling between events with Ms. Valdez and Ms. Avila Chevalier, who were in the closest races. Wherever the mayor went, large crowds seemed to materialize.

Mr. Mamdani’s aggressive interventions were not without collateral damage. His positions on some of the races put him at odds with the Working Families Party, prominent Black and Latino Democrats, major labor unions and members of the City Council, all of whom had supported his campaign for mayor and are now involved in his governing agenda.

He infuriated Ms. Velázquez, Mr. Mamdani’s first supporter in Congress, who believed the mayor should have deferred to her wishes about a successor. She came to accuse the D.S.A. in particular of trying to erase the contributions she and other progressives had made to pushing the city leftward for decades.

Others, including Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, were even more upset when Mr. Mamdani decided in May to endorse Ms. Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist activist and Ph.D. student, and break with Mr. Espaillat.

Screen shot: Mr. Espaillat did not back Mr. Mamdani in last year’s primary, but afterward, he quickly endorsed him and brought along Latino support. Mr. Mamdani had privately assured Mr. Espaillat at the time that he would reciprocate if he ever needed it.

The mayor never explained his change of heart in detail, but his advisers said he watched Ms. Avila Chevalier’s momentum and believed he could make a difference in the race. Supporters of Mr. Espaillat were furious, and said they could no longer trust Mr. Mamdani’s word.

Moms for Liberty and TPUSA basically wrote the FBI document used to charge the Southern Poverty Law Center www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

Screenshot from article: In court papers filed on Monday night, the lawyers shed new light on the origins of the renewed investigation using records recently provided to them by the F.B.I. They said the inquiry appeared to have been prompted, at least in part, by a letter sent in September from several right-wing organizations that had been criticized by the law center. It was addressed to Stephen Miller, the powerful aide to Mr. Trump who has often exercised significant influence over decisions at the Justice Department.

The letter, jointly written by groups including Moms for Liberty and Turning Point USA, used language about the law center that was almost identical at times to language that appeared in an F.B.I. document from October that laid out the basics of the new investigation.

Republican men make fun of how Democratic men look, meanwhile, they look like this…..

Goofy-ass Republican man in an ill fitting suit like my grandfather used to wear who made fun of James Talarico’s looks.

I get that it is controversial, but gaslighting people who have concerns is not helpful. They can support a two-state solution and word it in a way that is less inflammatory, but miss me with the outrage.

Posting a screenshot of a Republican senator’s bullet points and claiming that is Kamala Harris‘ platform is not serious. Also note that Trump torpedoed the bipartisan bill. 100% guarantee that masked ICE agents wouldn’t be kidnapping people in broad daylight during a Harris administration.

It means being politically aware ie. I want to bomb school children in Iran, but I have studied the consequences and am aware that politically, the cost is too high. Not doing it doesn’t mean you are good, just aware. 1/

Political Consciousness
In subject area: Social Sciences
Political consciousness is defined as an awareness of sociopolitical issues and dynamics that influences individuals' beliefs and actions, particularly in relation to collective movements and social change. It is likely related to experiences and education about other social movements.

The politics of consciousness
Consciousness typically refers to the idea of a being who is self-aware. It is a distinction often reserved for human beings. This remains the original and most common usage of the term.[1] For Marx, consciousness describes a person's political sense of self. That is, consciousness describes a person's awareness of politics. For Marx, an authentic consciousness was linked to understanding one's true position in History. While Hegel placed God behind the workings of consciousness in people, Marx saw the political economy as the engine of mind.[2]

In the 20th century, many social movements and intellectuals have developed this use of consciousness.

I looked it up. MAGA = fascism. They have not fully succeeded in consolidating power, but seeing as unarmed civilians are on the frontlines fighting their CBP Brownshirts, we are probably at the tipping point. I hope not past it.

What a derp

Unflattering photo of Pete Hegseth. He looks like he is trying to catch bugs with his mouth wide open while shaking his finger like a grandma disciplining a small child. What a derp.

It’s telling that the ICE goon refers to Trump as El Jefe. #gift www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Quote from article: “Are they supportive?” asked another member of the group text thread.

“Big time,” Mr. Exum responded. “Everyone has been including Chief Bovino, Chief Banks, Sec Noem and El Jefe himself … according to Bovino.”

Intimidating voters is illegal. It sounds like we can hold individual ICE goons criminally liable if they do choose this road. Hope they understand the risks. Also, Steve Bannon isn’t in charge of anything so he can run his mouth, but it’s just hot air. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

But is he referring to their mailing address vs. actual address? There is a place for both for both and it is very clear that you need to list an actual address on the form. There is even a section where you draw a map if you don’t have an actual address
