Mamdani — the mayor against America

Most modern socialists revealingly call themselves “democratic socialists.” The one socialist organization that didn’t do this, the exception that proved the rule, was the biggest communist state of all, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Reinstitutionalizing the homeless

Filibuster follies: Bipartisan threats to the Senate’s wall against chaos

The federal government has been shut down for over a month, and political finger-pointing has persisted since it began.

[…]
