The Presidency of the Joes: more like INFRASTRUCTURE WEAK

I’m 99% sure this is a joke, but there’s 0% chance Schumer ever gets primaried in NY

wow, that’s great. Can he just do that unilaterally?

Honestly I don’t know shit about NY politics but The Majority Report has been framing it that Schumer is suddenly being way more left because he has a primary coming up. He might not lose it but maybe it could be closer than he wants? But yeah thinking about it you’re right, these shitlibs never lose :(

He’s certainly been way more liberal recently, wonder whats driving that

The headline says “end” but the body of the story says “not renew”.

Makes sense.

Was the narrator wrong?

No idea but if Ilhan thinks it’s good news, that’s a good sign it’s meaningful.

My understanding is most federal use of private prisons is for immigration crimes and people awaiting trial in places with no federal jail. The feds also have contracts with county jails for those inmates, I suspect the idea is to send the jails all of those inmates.

I definitely identify with the Unstuck definition of “centrist”: anyone to Bernie’s right. Have never made 6 figures.

Btw anybody looking for a good book on the US private prison system, this is a good read by a journalist who went undercover as a prison guard.

Not really. The vast majority of prisons are state prisons.

And the DOJ doesn’t contract for ICE prisons.

Two of the most famous progressive upsets were in his state (AOC and Bowman). He definitely has it in mind.
