Replying to @ImNotOwned
the guardrails have become prison bars that make the regular order of business impossible and create strong perverse incentives for members of congress while at the same time unduly empowering the executive out of necessity

I don't think that comment is hinduphobic because it is not specific to hinduism, he is referring to two individuals and is disparaging them along racial rather than religious lines.
If I said, live and on air: “Mehdi Hasan only moved to the US to sleep with white women!” Am I being Islamophobic? If yes, why does he laugh when it’s said about two Hindu men? What does that say about what he thinks of Hindus?

I want to repeat this because Rufo's going to try very hard to sweep it under the rug: The justification for questioning whether brown people can ever be real Americans was just a vague sense of not liking them. "I don't need any other reason" was explicitly spelled out.

surely you and all the other tech freaks defending huang had similarly charitable things to say about swalwell
People have no idea how sophisticated nation state activities are If you are a target of opportunity for China it’s not unheard of for them to dedicate O(1000) humans dedicated to compromising you This is what happened w their NYT hack in 2013, which was designed to send a message They will compromise your friend’s friend’s friend to compromise you And work down that chain until your friend invites you on a fun trip on a private plane to Mexico/Thailand/wherever (example) Where some night you have a very boozy dinner and then you show back up at the house and some girls are there You’re drunk and make a mistake and then you’re owned until you’re disposable Nation state kompromat for “target’s of choice” is a system designed to find any individual’s weakness (you’re bisexual; a gambler, an alcoholic, drug addict, have a debt, adulterous, etc) and then force them into a situation of maximum amplification of this weakness 99% of people can be compromised using nation state capabilities and tactics nytimes.com/2013/01/31/techn…

Putting aside people who have infighting OCD like Yglesias, Neera and a million DSA guys, the Democrats actually seem to be very in array. The “moderates” calibrated to be more populist and the “progressives” have calibrated to be more pragmatic.

Very funny that the four Democrats won won some of the toughest districts and were most unexpected perfectly represent every ideological faction within the party

yeah the last 3 cycles have been pretty predictive
Political scientists love to say, don’t draw lessons from the Virginia governor’s race, and then every midterm it’s like huge lessons should’ve been drawn from the results in the Virginia governor’s race.

On a scale of Handmaid’s Tale to President Elizabeth Warren I would say we are moving in the wrong direction folks.

I love how every new southern Democrat is someone all of us knows: - Talarico/ Hamilton: Libbed out Christians who are in high school Gay Straight Alliance - Andrews: Libbed out wine mom w/HotWorx membership - Colom: Went to law school to own racists - Ossoff: Smarty Wunderkid

Our kids will never forgive us for: 🔫 letting guns become the leading cause of their death 🌎 sitting by while their planet melts ✏️ attempting to dismantle the public education system 🍎letting so many of them grow up hungry 🏥making health care unaffordable
Our kids will never forgive us for the amount of debt we’re leaving them. The good news is, we can reverse this decline. It’s time to get our fiscal house in order and make Joe Biden a one-term president.

Think about this: is there a mainstream Jewish institution in this country which could look Jewish El-Sayed supporters, the majority of Jewish voters in Michigan, in the eye and say, "Your beliefs are welcome here"?
Analysis by Millions of Michiganians of 72 precincts with the highest number of Jewish voters showed El-Sayed receiving 60% of the vote, a shift of just 1.3 percentage points from Elissa Slotkin’s share in 2024.
