“Not all socialists in mayoral runs won on Tuesday. Sure, socialist/communist Zohran Mamdani is now Mayor Elect of New York, but Omar Fateh lost to the incumbent mayor of Minneapolis on a second counting of the city’s ranked choice vote system. The latter is a victory for old-fashioned city politics, but what is the former?” (11/06/25)

“The United States of America is 3.8 million square miles, filled with three hundred forty million people, producing over $30 trillion in gross domestic product per year. We are the fourth largest country by land, third by population, and second by GDP. We no longer know each other, care for each other, nor like each other. We are a nation of isolated people staring at screens and filled with existential terrors about the other, whoever the other might be. On Tuesday night across America, those existential terrors played out with fear of the other. Hispanic voters who voted for Donald Trump and Republicans in 2024, swung back to Democrats in 2026. They were fine with deporting gang bangers and criminals, but maybe not Jose down the street, who works as a gardener.” (11/06/25)

“The United States is dusting off its old regime-change playbook in Venezuela. Although the slogan has shifted from ‘restoring democracy’ to ‘fighting narco-terrorists,’ the objective remains the same, which is control of Venezuela’s oil. The methods followed by the US are familiar: sanctions that strangle the economy, threats of force, and a $50 million bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as if this were the Wild West. The US is addicted to war.” (11/06/25)

“Recent data from The Wall Street Journal suggest that renters across the country — including in Kansas City — are gaining leverage. Rents are flattening, vacancy rates are ticking up, and landlords are offering incentives. The reason? More housing is finally coming online. This is a timely reminder for Kansas City officials: if the goal is to help renters and low-income residents, the most effective solution is to build more housing — not to add new layers of regulation.” (11/06/25)

“In the immediate hours after Zohran Mamdani’s victory was declared on Tuesday night, a new topic began trending on Elon Musks’s X: Repeal the 19th. The posts were exactly what you’d think. The idea that women shouldn’t vote has existed on the crank right for a long time. But increasingly, it’s made its way into more mainstream MAGA conversations, and many advocates have become successful influencers in right-wing media circles.” (11/06/25)

“If the Trump administration’s assaults on Venezuela and threats to Colombia and Mexico have a familiar stench, they should. For more than two centuries the United States government has acted as if it owned the Western Hemisphere, with the right of conquest, intervention, and interference part of the natural order. As of this writing, at least 66 people (Venezuelans, Colombians, and possibly some of other nationalities) have been extrajudicially murdered by President Donald Trump and the US military in 17 separate reported attacks. … And as though that total weren’t high enough, the project notes that this number is very much an undercount, since it doesn’t include indirect deaths of the war caused by ‘disease, displacement, and loss of access to food or clean drinking water.'” (11/06/25)

“It is an axiom of asset bubbles that — under the bustling surface — widespread malfeasance takes place. This is especially true near the end of asset bubbles, where participants fear missing out on the supposed riches produced therein, but — failing to achieve them — ultimately resort to chicanery and fraud to achieve their ends.” (11/06/25)
