Comment on the campaign suspension FB post of Mallory McMorrow by Abdul El-Sayed reading: “Throughout this campaign, you showed what it looks like to fight back against a politics that rigs the system against too many of us. While we have policy disagreements, I never questioned whether you would fight for a better America for my daughters and yours. The same party insiders you had the courage to challenge have been bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate. After spending $30 million to drown you and me out, they’re now spending even more to attack me. It’s everything we are standing up against. I welcome your supporters to our movement to stand up against money in politics, to put money back in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. We cannot allow the establishment to decide our nominee for us.” Most of the second to last sentence is highlighted by me.

That'll work.

Skeet from @maxberger.bsky.social reading I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment. There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.

Screenshot from AP article (link in the reposted post) reading In response to an appeal, FEMA in 2013 amended the county’s flood map to remove 15 of the camp’s buildings from the hazard area. Records show that those buildings were part of the 99-year-old Camp Mystic Guadalupe, which was devastated by last week’s flood. After further appeals, FEMA removed 15 more Camp Mystic structures in 2019 and 2020 from the designation. Those buildings were located on nearby Camp Mystic Cypress Lake, a sister site that opened to campers in 2020 as part of a major expansion and suffered less damage in the flood. Campers have said the cabins at Cypress Lake withstood significant damage, but those nicknamed “the flats” at the Guadalupe River camp were inundated.

Screenshot of Guardian news post reading: Trump demands Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender’ and says US won’t kill supreme leader ‘for now’ Donald Trump has posted on social media that the United States knows the location of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He added that the US would not kill Khamenei but called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender”. “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. He followed up with a second post a few minutes later, writing: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” In a post published about thirty minutes earlier, Trump said, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”

Screenshot of excerpt from linked piece, reading: The DOJ, represented by Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate, argued in the hearing Thursday that the judge should not issue an order because the courts have no authority to review the president’s determination of what an invasion, rebellion or inefficient regular resources are. The judge seemed alarmed by that argument, saying it seemed antithetical to a democracy and closer to a monarchy. “How is that different than what a monarchist does? He says certain things, he finds certain things, he does certain things. That’s not where we live,” the judge said. “We live in response to a monarchy.”
