This is kind of stunning. It's not just SpaceX's stock that's been getting slammed, even its recent bond sale is doing so badly traders can't remember something similar having happened before. https://t.co/qCvHtuuiAU

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

Taking out the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus with a self-described communist 32 year old PhD student who tweeted “fuck Kamala Harris” is beyond insane. DEFCON 1 moment for the Democratic establishment.

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.

Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.

Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.

And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.

Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.

And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

Trump killed the entirety of Iran’s leadership, attempted to overthrow their govt, failed and is now forced to sign a settlement and MSNBC historians are framing it as an IranGate conspiracy between Iran and Trump. I am losing my mind what universe do you these people occupy??

Paint was seen peeling from the floor of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, weeks after a $14 million renovation that included a new color President Trump called “American Flag Blue.”

“the Gaza tactics”

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Lot of fun meltdown spirals this week but my personal favorite is Babylon Bee which has published 900 headlines going after Trump’s “surrender”, combining the nasty and literal-minded “humor” of Israeli sketch comedy with their patented “triggered much” chud affect

It’s wild how they suddenly remember all these other uses for money when it comes to ending a war, but not when the Pentagon requests a $1.5 trillion annual budget.

Extraordinary how much of the US commentariat doesn't understand that you have to take a "bad deal" after you lose a war

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.
