"We have, I fear, a foreign attack to take over the Democrat party, and ultimately, the United States." "The socialists in this country know that they cannot create their own political party, because they cannot win elections under this system. Nobody would vote for the

Chart of the day! ⚽️ Traffic management for the World Cup is a core security and operational requirement for host cities. Private-car surges create predictable chokepoints in interchange ramps, arterial intersections, and parking queue spillback, which can cascade into delayed

The size and scope of the 2026 U.S. World Cup is staggering. Previous U.S. mega-events don't even come close.

The DSA's new platform, first exposed by MI's @thestustustudio last week, explicitly lays out the group's goal "to win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic." These are the radical goals straight from their platform.

Johnson: The DSA… this is their platform. They put this on paper! Abolish the electoral college or replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy, expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and rank choice voting in all elections…

The DSA’s governing body is on board with the platform’s ideas. And they have openly discussed the need for DSA elected officeholders at least to begin to align themselves.

Freezing the rent doesn't address the housing shortage that made rents so high in the first place. There need to be harder reforms to make housing more affordable and accessible—that is, build more of it. Expanding supply is the only genuine way to improve housing

Interesting heat map of violent crime risk across U.S. World Cup host cities. All of them are above the 2024 national average. The broader implication is that risk is not evenly distributed across host cities, and resource allocation should reflect that variation. Data from

Devastating footage coming out of Venezuela right now. At least 589 people were killed by the earthquakes that struck Wednesday evening, and thousands more were injured. "So many of the deaths happening in Venezuela were preventable," @DanielDiMartino tells @tracegallagher.
