This kind of mindless, trollish assholery is the exact cult of personality I'm talking about.
Paul OliverAgain, Mamdani is a good man who appears to be operating in good faith. But he is accountable for his failures just like any other politician. I hope he can fix this quickly.
Bill GrueskinThe rollout of Mamdani’s new pied-a-terre tax is a colossal mess. The incompetence is pretty brutal. www.wsj.com/real-estate/...
Like I said, nutters are literally in my backyard all weekend so will be rotating pro-abortion rights tshirts.
Sean BeedleGood morning! I’m in Lakewood for Colorado Christian University’s Western Conservative Summit. It’s like a convention for every group I’ve covered in the last 5 years…
Remember the rules of national political reporting: only Democrats have agency. Republicans are in no way morally responsible for twice electing a criminal child rapist President.
emptywheelThis is the first passage of Maggie and Swan's book. Consider the agency it sets up. Democrats. Partisanship. Why not focus on the "irony" that Maggie had done propaganda for the man for years? Why make this about Democrats, rather than her complicity?
Which is not what I did. If you're going to Actually me, please unfollow
DHamHave you ever met a magateer? J6ers? Antivaxxers? Texiters? - Every successful politician has a core of diehard supporters. - To claim a Dem candidate has a "Cult of Personality" without mentioning the magasphere is basically journalistic malpractice
Like I said, there's been some unfortunate cult of personality developments around Mamdani. Yes, he gets to be asked questions and held accountable like any other politician. And I'm pretty sure he'd be okay with that.
Alan ElrodSo Will asked a completely reasonable question about Mamdani’s grocery store policy and now he’s had his tires slashed. Really a banner day for the “dogpiling and abuse aren’t a thing” and “this is all just jokes” crowd
As someone who works in abortion rights, I cannot overstate the importance of state legislatures. It was a state law that undid Roe. If you want to contribute to Democrats and make a meaningful ROI difference, contribute to local/state legislative candidates and organizations.

Democrats target 13 races as they lay out path to win supermajorities in Colorado legislatureDemocrats are just one seat shy of a 2-to-1 supermajority in both the Colorado House and the Senate. The national party’s state legislative arm unveiled a plan Wednesday to win more seats.www.denverpost.comJim Crow, a system of racial discrimination, doesn't cover the DoD's now-systemic exclusion of women from positions they've earned...a thing that keeps getting reported, but hardly ever gets discussed bc terms like "gender apartheid" never caught on in the US. Nevertheless, it is happening.
I worked for Sen Barbara Mikulski, who lost her first race for Congress. She didn't lash out w sour grapes. She didn't blame 'AIPAC' which also opposed Daniel Biss, who won fair and square. She regrouped, won a Congressional seat, & went on to be the 1st Dem woman Senator elected in her own right.
Kat AbughazalehAIPAC may have bought our election in Illinois, but we're not going to let that happen in Michigan. 5 days left to make them panic. Vote for Abdul on or before August 4th.
And Ohio voters preferred this abuse-ignoring asshole to Sherrod Brown, the best friend America's union workers have ever had.

Thread. Pete Hegseth and the Trump Administration are Jim Crow'ing America's military.
Senator Elissa SlotkinWhat is happening inside the military with promotions and firings: We have a ton of people who are being removed from promotion lists. They’re being recommended by those in uniform, and they are being stripped out by Pete Hegseth.
BESHEAR CAN'T APPOINT A DEM TO MCCONNELL'S SEAT. WHY ARE YOU LYING?
Mueller, She WroteUPDATE: I've been sharing that Beshear has until August 4 to appoint a dem to McConnell's seat. That's not correct. There is no cutoff date. The August 4th date came from this language in the KY constitution, but it only applies if Mitch's term wouldn't end this year, and only for special elections.
