the concept of speaking at a political rally in marnie cosplay

[Fox News @FoxNews]

“NYPD! NYPD!” chants rang through a crowd outside Gracie Mansion on Tuesday night as protesters thanked New York police officers for keeping the city safe.

The crowd was gathered out NYC Mayor Mamdani's residence to call for Governor Hochul to remove him from office, citing his perceived failure to address rising radicalization and antisemitism.

@rowanfornow so imagine how shocked I am by how the last two years have gone for Starmer

@rowanfornow In 2024 I listened to a presentation by Labour operatives who credited their GE landslide to shedding the Corbyn image rather than tories/reform cannibalizing each other

@PoliticalKiwi Setting aside all the coordination issues. How does an independent compete in an expensive battleground state without accepting Dem donor money that undermines the gimmick?
In 2024, SMP dropped like $3m in NE in the last week, but in Ohio you need to be making sustained ad buys.

@Dee_Wrecks @DKThomp @BigMeanInternet @jdcmedlock But as we walk through more and more billionaires, one thing we will probably discover is actually just targeting the right tail in general works. You don't need an IP-specific right tail target because all the right tails are generating by some version of this.

Axelrod: There are a lot of people who would like you to run for president in 2028. And there are others who would like you to run for the senate.

AOC: In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat—it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line. What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

@thetruthhurtz8 @AbdulElSayed Operation Epic Fury alone cost around $50b (and the sticker price will be dwarfed by the second-order economic costs of supply chain disruption). Our relationship with Israel is not worth it.

I’ve been writing a lengthy Substack article on this exact subject! The Contractor State is impossibly vast, corrupt, wildly inefficient and stands in the way of an efficient, responsive public sector that engenders progressive outcomes. It really is duplicitous so underreported.

.@AOC responds to this trend: "BOOOOO"

"This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together. And I think that the discourse around 'Everyone, let's all be like billionaires and opt out of our taxes,' I don't find it an inspiring message."

@jakedecker @conorsen oh totally agree, gop initiated, but I’m more speculating as to why the brinkmanship didn’t happen earlier

@Wilson__Valdez @BanquoDyar they saw him up close for two decades and thought he would be a bad candidate and president
