The Senator from New York State has an office in NYC. Fork found in kitchen. (This is a photo of his DC office)
Senate rules require federal office space. Instead, CHUCK SCHUMER leases a suite in a luxury Midtown tower surrounded by the private equity donors bankrolling him.
You pay the pricey rent. Wall Street gets the access. Private equity keeps their loopholes.

The anti-Jeffries/Schumer crowd needs a Schoolhouse Rock intervention. Why are @malcolmkenyatta’s TikTok comments full of people telling him not to fold to Jeffries? OPEN THE SCHOOLS!

Do not spend the next two years giving people like Chris Rabb and Darializa Avila Chevalier oxygen. They are outliers whose views range from moronic to abhorrent and are not representative of most Democrats. They’ll have little power in their seats.

You hate John Fetterman for political reasons. Josh Shapiro hates John Fetterman for Pennsylvania reasons. You cannot begin to comprehend the depths of hatred that Pennsylvania reasons can inspire.
NBC: Josh Shapiro says he expects John Fetterman to face a "robust primary challenge" in 2028, adding that "people are lining up to run"
Shapiro: "I think John has a lot of work to do to earn the trust of the people of Pennsylvania… He has to show up."

The Hunger Games is told through the eyes of a child whose access to information is controlled by an authoritarian government. We only know what Katniss knows. Even our initial understanding of the Careers is flawed. The absence of religion isn’t necessarily a worldbuilding oversight. The Capitol has stripped the districts of anything that might foster hope, comfort, or unity.
i think the hunger games books are generally much better written than people often give it credit for, but it is really strange that we are told absolutely nothing about religion in panem

Everyone thinks the congressional leaders are supposed to be inspirational or revolutionary. Theyre meticulous, background engineers, not supposed to be the star of the show. How many speakers can median american name? How many were well liked?
I like AOC. She’s a gifted communicator and political talent, but she hasn’t demonstrated the coalition-building, vote-whipping, or caucus management skills needed to be Speaker. Pelosi was legendary not for her charisma, but because she knew her votes, held her caucus together, and delivered.
Here is the list of people for the next Speaker:
Ro Khanna
Pramila Jayapal
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Here is the list for Sen Maj Leader:
Chris Van Hollen
Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren
The star list above don't take AIPAC $$.
@SenSchumer and @RepJeffries have got to go.
Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. He has spent his career criticizing the party, has a thin record of legislative accomplishments, and has never demonstrated an ability to lead its caucus. Senate Majority Leader is an actual job, not a lifetime achievement award for being angry at Democrats.

You see, I violated journalistic ethics by posting a doctored image without disclosing it, but you have to understand that I did it for petty reasons, not to fabricate anything. Therefore, I’m going to pretend that holding me to basic journalistic standards is an unreasonable personal attack.
Hello my name is Olivia Reingold and I used ChatGPT to brighten and sharpen an image of a woman in Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag.
After processing, it still shows these same things: a woman wearing Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag.
She is a real (and chic!) woman, really wearing those items. The observation holds.
Here’s the photo I took:

A lot of you on the left need to come to terms with the fact that your antisemitism is not somehow less antisemitic because you’ve dressed it up in progressive language. It’s ugly, it’s unacceptable.

De-MAGAfication is going to be slow, boring work you better all buckle in and give leaders the time to do it.

North Carolina treats Roy Cooper like he personally raised every single one of them and put them through college. I respect that kind of loyalty.
