When there are elites who fear someone like Mamdani for his "socialism" its far more likely they disdain that he actually enforces institutional rule. Elite impunity and the rule of law cannot co-exist.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

#GA Did you know that Jon Ossoff spent years exposing corruption as an investigative journalist? Now in the Senate, he refuses corporate PAC money & is leading the fight to ban stock trading by members of Congress. When you don't take checks from special interests, you're free to work for families.

In my first teaching job nearly every student at our high school had been born in this unit. Geographically, there are no other real options. I struggle to imagine this community w/o the beginning Miles L & D offers families. Not for nothing, the hospital is profitable. Closure makes zero sense.

Realize: beyond Max Miller's mental issues, he comes from a giant real estate development family who made billions of dollars in Cleveland OH and Brooklyn NY in the 1980s when the mob ruled construction. Brawlers used to playing dirty and getting their way (several in Epstein files). 1/

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems.

Bernie Moreno's hands are sort of tied when it comes to Max Miller, given it's his daughter (and his granddaughter's) security. But Mike Johnson could put a stop to all of this about Max Miller today. He just does not want to.

There isn’t a single aspect of Miller’s affect that seems exculpatory.

Look, I believe in a transparent, accountable and democratic society but I have to say: I didn't need to see this.

From the producers of #HeatedRivalry which is now in production for Season 2. If you see filming locations, please DO NOT post them in real time. Also let the actors, writers, and crew do their thing.

And see this is why realtors are predominantly women, because the job requires so much female-code labor like tact and compromise and gentle parenting and not punching racists dead in the nose.

The craziest fallout of the Cyclospora situation for me personally is I used to work in a microbiology lab as the one (1) parasitologist. That lab didn't even have the right gear for many of the tests they wanted me to do. Couldn't train me to run the tests right, bc nobody in the lab knew how!

Lol. The Founding Fathers were Adam Smith stans. Smith's ghost shakes his fist at Milton Friedman – who perverted Smith's ideas in the 1960s – every single day. For more, read Oreskes & Conway's "The Big Myth, How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market."

Shout out to The Founders(tm) who somehow wrote anti-socialism into the Constitution in 1787, nearly 50 years before socialism was any kind of coherent economic policy.

There are a number of planes in ICE's charter fleet that I'm monitoring for potential third-country removals today, but the flight patterns are unusual enough that I'm waiting for more info. This one though? This private jet operated by Talon Air is most likely an ICE flight.
