SOCIALISTS, I HATE THESE GUYS: Socialism on the ballot: Races to watch in the DSA orbit as the ‘squad’ may expand.

DSA-backed candidates could expand the socialist contingent in the House beyond prominent members such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

Two DSA-endorsed candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District and Melat Kiros in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, unseated established Democrats in their primaries. They have already discussed plans to demand policy concessions from Democrats running for speaker of the House, should the party win the majority next week.

In addition to Chevalier and Kiros, the DSA has endorsed Donavan McKinney (Mich., 13), Claire Valdez (N.Y., 7), Chris Rabb (Pa., 3), Angela Gonzales-Torres (Calif., 34), Mai Vang (Calif., 7), and Lauren Jewett (La., 1).

I have seen the future: The Democrat Party Is a Socialist Skinsuit. “Gordillo is here to tell you that not only is the Democrat Party dead, but he and his DSA comrades wear its skinsuit.”

WE NEED MORE POWER, PERIOD:

The AI math gets more insane every year:

In Dec '24, Morgan Stanley estimated 57GW of data center power needs and a 36GW shortfall through 2028.

In Nov '25, it was 69GW of power needs and a 44GW gap.

Today, the est. total power needed doubled to 116GW and the gap is 70GW https://t.co/wTlmYzsPho pic.twitter.com/4qplV3HWaY

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: So…Anything Happening This Week? “Whatever happens on Tuesday (or whenever everything finally gets sorted out), we at least got to enjoy a wild 11th-hour surprise in Michigan yesterday. Democrats were trying to force a tortured Kumbaya moment between Abdul El-Sayed and the woman he defeated in the primary, Haley Stevens. That went over like the Titanic hitting the iceberg while the Hindenburg crashed into it as Milli Vanilli played on.”

CHANGE: Colombia’s ‘El Tigre’ takes fight to cartels as Trump alliance takes shape.

Colombia’s new president, known by the nickname of “El Tigre.” was voted in on a law-and-order ticket and so far his actions in fighting the cartels are seemingly paying dividends — not just in Colombia but in Washington, too.

Recently, he arrived at the Barranquilla police command around the early hours of the morning as 587 police officers and soldiers raided 50 locations across the Caribbean port city and its suburbs in Operation Blindaje 360. A few days earlier, domestic Colombian news outlets had widely publicized a recording intercepted by Colombian police of “Keko,” the alleged leader of a gang called “Los del Freseo,” boasting that de la Espirella had nothing on him.

“The Tiger’s got nothing. Let him come out, and we’ll put lead in him,” Keko allegedly said on the recording.

Then, before dawn, Colombia’s president had tracked him down and was face to face with him, all caught on tape.

According to a video released by his presidential office, El Tigre told Keko the gang leader was “a tough guy on the phone… but the look of the fear on his face matched that of his many victims.” The sweep ended with 72 arrests.

They’re all tough guys against unarmed civilians.

THEY MEAN BUSINESS:

“Behold the final endgame of the progressive machine: the controlled demolition of a free people.”

From the linked essay:

Their economic doctrine is neo-feudal central planning wrapped in environmental hysteria. By mandating the death of the internal combustion engine, outlawing natural gas, and tethering the world’s greatest industrial powerhouse to intermittent windmills and Chinese-made solar panels, they are engineering energy poverty by design. Tripling electricity rates and normalizing rolling blackouts are features of a system built to break middle-class independence. While coastal elites lecture working families from private jets, they push national rent control policies proven to annihilate housing supply. Driving private landlords into bankruptcy clears the field for the state to become the sole arbiter of shelter, reducing self-reliant property owners to desperate tenants begging federal bureaucrats for a roof.

In the streets, they have unleashed a regime of calculated lawlessness designed to terrorize the productive class. Abolishing cash bail for violent predators, downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, and installing rogue prosecutors who legalize rampant theft have turned once-thriving metropolitan centers into boarded-up wastelands. They release career criminals into your neighborhoods and prosecute the lawful citizen who dares to defend his family. Exporting this urban carnage to suburbs and rural towns is a deliberate strategy: manufacture unbearable chaos until a terrified populace surrenders its liberties in exchange for authoritarian state control.

Needless to say, read the whole thing.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE PROPERLY INTRODUCED TO IT: Colorado’s ‘Universal’ Preschool Program Meets the First Amendment.

IT’S COMPLICATED: Isaacman outlines Artemis III multi-launch checkout sequence and Blue Origin priority.

He emphasized that the mission will require a sequenced series of launches involving three different vehicles and providers, and that NASA will only commit the Space Launch System (SLS) if Blue Origin’s lander is already in orbit.

Speaking during a wide-ranging interview with NSF, Isaacman confirmed that Artemis III is structured around an initial New Glenn launch carrying Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander. That vehicle is expected to have the ability to loiter in orbit for roughly 30 days.

That flight would be followed by the SLS/Orion crew launch and a Starship launch.

He described the three-launch, three-provider profile as unprecedented for a NASA crew mission and a reflection of the multi-launch campaigns expected for future large-scale space infrastructure.

“We’re not going to launch without Blue Origin in it,” Isaacman said. “That’s why they’re going to launch first. Like they need to be up there, do some checkouts, and then we commit SLS.”

Yeah, about that:

The time and money wasted on SLS will never stop infuriating me. If China beats us back to the Moon, it will be because of the failure to take advantage of Falcon Heavy by shifting funds from SLS to what we actually needed to get back to the Moon. https://t.co/1BEl58fRFA

SLS is worse than a boondoggle.

IF THEY’RE DOING THIS FOR MIDTERMS, IMAGINE WHAT 2028 COULD BE LIKE:

'Everybody [is] waiting for the Democrats to win': Another migrant caravan left southern Mexico in October and some migrants we interviewed said they hope for a Democrat victory in the midterms so the U.S. starts shifting away from Trump's immigration policies.

THE CRISIS ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY SAW COMING: Panic and Anger Spread as Europe’s Great Pension Covenant Unravels.

Concern about the sustainability of France’s welfare state has been a key driver of the protests that have shaken the country in recent weeks. It is also calling into question the tacit generational contract under which younger workers pay for their elders’ retirement.

After losing her finance job in December, Marie Caron, 61, is worried for the first time about how she will get by in old age. She can only start collecting retirement benefits at 63—or 66 to qualify for get a full pension—so she will have to find a new job before she retires, a difficult prospect in France’s rigid labor market where recruiters rarely hire older workers. Seven job interviews this year have produced nothing.

“I’ve paid a huge amount into the system and should be entitled to a decent pension,” Caron said. “Instead, I might end up on the streets.”

While American workers have long managed their own retirement portfolios to supplement a baseline Social Security check, continental Europeans were promised a comprehensive, state-guaranteed income for life.

“You f***ed up — you trusted us.”

NOT SURE HOW SHOCKING THAT REALLY IS: First-Of-Its-Kind Poll Finds TDS Is Real, And It’s Shockingly Widespread.

Among the findings of this first-of-its-kind poll:

More than a third of the public (38%) and more than half of Democrats (53%) say they themselves have experienced TDS, when it’s described as “unusually intense negative emotional reactions to Donald Trump.”

70% say they observed Trump-related emotional stress, anger, or agitation among people they know.

62% say they have seen people change their behavior because of strong negative feelings toward Trump.

41% know people who refuse to socialize with friends or family who support Trump.

37% have seen obsessive attention to Trump combined with anger toward his supporters.

22% say they have seen threats or aggressive or violent behavior tied to negative feelings about Trump.

But even those who can’t wait for Trump to be out of office should be deeply troubled by the poll’s findings.

Because, left untreated, TDS sufferers won’t suddenly be cured when Trump leaves the White House. Their obsession will just transfer to a new tormentor.

Spend a decade or so with the intel-media complex whipping up fear and hatred, and this is what you get.
