I could have sworn it was Republicans under Trump that put us in Hell. But don't let that get in the way of the intra-coalition bashing. Also, this is odd.
Dear NYT - I was not aware that winning several House primaries & the Mayorship in NYC constitutes a continuing state of "winning big." I think your headline overstates the scale of what happened.
I don't like the intra-left arguing. But if you force me to choose sides, I'm going to side with Dems' most dependable voters every single time. You can't win without your rock-solid base, and if you're way out on the party's left flank, that base isn't you. The numbers don't lie. (From Edison)
There are 2 more lines to her tweet that make clear little has changed.
Trump margin of victory in MI in 2016 was 10,704. Jill Stein received 51,463 votes.

Here is a template for NYT. I don't care if you take my language, rewrite this post yourself or whatever. What I want is for people to get involved in pushing back (nicely) on these reporters. It's one thing to complain on Bluesky. Writing an email to the reporters with your name on it matters.
A relative was in NYC this past week and went. Sent me a couple pictures. Candles for known victims & a wall dedicated to Trump / Epstein friendship. I think it goes for a few more days.
I wonder if Alito thinks the 2nd Amendment should be interpreted with the same context AR-15's & automatic weapons did not exist in the 18th century.
I particularly appreciate this part, because the U.S. losing negotiating credibility to mediate with soft power is exactly what the geopolitical adversaries of the U.S. want. There really is a big element of The Manchurian Candidate here.
