imagine selling yourself as the "serious, intelligent, informed adult in the room who is just reading the numbers" only to get owned by fucking Grok

This is incredible. This is something I brought forward over a year ago but was shot down. Now that we have a progressive majority I’m going to bring it back
Progress isn’t inevitable. It’s fought for and earned. New York City will now give community organizations the first shot at buying eligible homes — not flippers who are just looking to extract a profit. 
This is the largest Opportunity to Purchase program in the nation. Thank you @CMSandyNurse for your leadership on the COPA bill. Our city’s tenants are stronger because of it.

I love how the literal way political compromise works in parliamentary settings - "if you want my support on this vote, you'll need to give me something in return" - is somehow racist now
What his crazy ass is saying is that he tried to go in there and make “demands” with senior leadership and his fresh ass was told to find out where all the bathrooms are first. He’s an incoming House member. He can write his own House resolution and whip his own votes. Stop looking to Black people to do the work for you and then crying foul and victim when you get told to move around.

this past week since the election has done nothing but prove my hypothesis that "centrists" are actually just smug ten year olds who cheat at Monopoly right in front of you and then go "nuh-uh" when you tell them to put that $500 back in the bank
Bernie Sanders, 85 and in Congress for 35 years, is demanding new leadership. That’s rich.

having been a deputy whip in a Model Parliament, the leader's literal job, via the whips, is to say "this vote is happening, you need to cancel your other engagements and be there" but apparently the US is a special place where the title of party whip is just that, a title
I was expecting the euphoria of last week’s elections to last a bit longer but it’s a bit jarring to see the amplification of criticism that Jeffries - who is not even Speaker yet - is supposed to control DC traffic to ensure perfect attendance for votes that were going to fail anyway, and there are elected Dems amplifying it.

the fuck, FIA
F1 has informed Imola that it won't be required as a race venue at the end of this season. Plan remains to race in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, and if that needs to change then the season will end in Las Vegas #F1

Being a bigot is fundamentally incompatible with leftism if you understand the history of "the left" as a term but it feels like I'm the only person left who tries to define ideologies based on material and historical context rather than just "this person says they're leftist"
I didn’t spend years standing up and fighting against the misogyny and bigotry of maga just to turn around and embrace it from the far left.

Nobody has ever explained why I'm responsible for posts from accounts with ten followers whose profile says "socialist" or "DSA" but apparently I am.

It's always "you love attacking women don't you" from the racist "moderates", dating back to Hillary Clinton herself creating the "Obama's a Secret Muslim" line that the GOP gleefully picked up
Replying to @ivandiazbotello
She's going to do more for this state and country in the next 10 minutes than you will in your entire "career". It's strange that more people don't notice how much you like throwing dirt at women in particular. I noticed.

AFC East had Marino from 83 to 99 (and Kelly from 86 to 96), Manning from 98 to 01, Brady from 01 to 19, and Josh Allen from 18 to 26 (and counting).
Jets haven’t played in a bad division in my lifetime. Dolphins were great in the 80s, Bills dominant in the 90s, Patriots dominated the first 20 years of the 21st century, and then the Bills became dominant. I’d kill for an NFC South situation just once lol #jetup

We haven't gotten a break since the merger. We were awful in the 70s on top of being stuck with the Shula Dolphins and the late 70s Patriots. Our best shot was 82 but we bottled it. Then Marino came in and we've had at least one HoFer in the division ever since.

This seems like a strong point and I'd really love El-Sayed skeptics (@neeratanden, @jonathanchait, and @mattyglesias) to address it.
Replying to @DavidKlion
One thing I’ll say is: maybe a hypothetical white Christian Democrat could have won Michigan by 10 points instead of 7-8 but this long overdue repudiation of Islamophobia would not be happening and many of us will happily accept that trade in a winner take all election.

what i find so goddamn infuriating about the neera tanden's, the lis smith's, and the matthew yglesias' of the world, is they could never work another day in their lives and be set for life. public health advocacy is like a board game to them, they have zero personal stakes in it
Not a bad compromise! Keep the slogan, move to a plan that looks more like Medicare for all who want it, Medicare for Americans, a public option, whatever you want to call it

well the "moderates" have already started the Abdul Islamist Revolution talk so might as well ALL HAIL THE AMERICAN AYATOLLAH
There is definitely a cult of personality developing around @AbdulElSayed. The Bernie Bros have found their new cult leader.

typical Ohioan, trying to act like the biggest Michigan win in years actually didn't matter
Roy Cooper singlehandedly dog walked the entire NC GOP and dragged multiple House seats with him. El-Sayed turned in the worst performance of all the flips. He didn’t help any Michigan Dems win in any other race. It’s just obviously true what Cooper did was bigger and more important than what El-Sayed did.

It's the fact that the local media—yeah, ya'll can stop pretending it was just the national media—breathlessly covered these insane stunts in the city as serious politicking. Meanwhile, Abdul was pulling boisterous crowds in every rural corner of the state and:🦗🦗🦗
Wow I can’t believe this didn’t work among Black voters!!!
