The political performance art online is so lame. Before criticizing New York, maybe check your own backyard.

Texas officials tell residents to set thermostats to 78° and conserve power when the grid is under strain. The state has a long history of grid failures, and when one of the worst hit, Ted Cruz flew to Cancún.

If you're going to attack another city's leadership, expect people to bring up your own record.

@BillAckman @RoKhanna Bill Ackman talking about who can be trusted hahahahahahahaha

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

The replies here are insane.

@doddlebugger83 @RahmEmanuel She didn’t lean that way at all

@RandyRitchie12 @EmmaVigeland Oh well he’s said it many times so there you have it

Matt Walsh's live reaction to SCOTUS upholding a 100+ year old interpretation of the 14th amendment

Fighting for kids to receive state-mandated Bible instruction while fighting against those same kids receiving free lunch is exactly the kind of religious hypocrisy Christians should stand against.

This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.

@RRahjes @EndWokeness Wonder how many times this guy has uttered “I’m not racist or anything, but…”

@Keith_Miller11 @Dre00 @pressley_era @clashreport They were skyrocketing before and they continued skyrocketing. The whole industry is set up with perverse incentives

[Russell Gartman @golfprouva]

@Dre00 @Keith_Miller11 @pressley_era @clashreport Especially the healthcare thing. It already sucked horribly and he added another thing that sucked horribly and at least covered more people

Mamdani’s crazy shtick about actually doing the stuff he promised has confounded every political pundit in America.

[Center-Aezzie Patriot 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼🇪🇺🗽 @AezzieUwU]

This is the kind of propaganda spread by the New York Post. They phrase it in the most vague way imaginable to get you to think he is considering this idea, when in reality he was asked about it on an interview and straight up said “No, the constitution looks good the way it is.”

the average red state is closer to Sharia Law than Zohran’s NYC

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice.

She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.

Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.

@WalshFreedom No matter how many times you say it, it still has nothing to do with hatred of Jews

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

HunterGPT perhaps, but hey

[Russell Gartman @golfprouva]

Never thought Hunter Biden would be the voice of reason, but here we are. Great points all around.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

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.

[Chuck (Taylor's Version) @Jamie_Maz]

This loser oversaw the loss of the Presidency, Senate, and House as DNC Chair.

And he’s telling leftists to leave the party.

These people hate democracy and hate their own voters.
