I don’t care what Bill Maher thinks about literally anything, whether I agree with it or not, because it has been decades since he did anything except get attention for saying uninteresting things. People go after Kardashians and so on for “being famous for being famous.” Maher is the same.

From NY: will i lose coverage? Will it go up by 5 or 38%? WHO KNOWS WHAT A FUN GAME! (Also I already spend way too much on it, and no raise in 2 years.)

QUALIFIED HEALTH PLAN (QHP) An estimated 65,000 – 80,000 New Yorkers may lose their coverage. 140,000 enrollees who receive tax credits may see their costs increase by 38 percent. 100,000 enrollees could see their rates go up by at least 5 percent

A remarkable moment from an interview with Brad Lander on the Jewish Currents podcast: two ICE officers who arrested him are immigrant New Yorkers, one of whom was considering voting for him and Mamdani podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

“I get arrested at 26 Federal Plaza. Pretty rough arrest as everyone could see in the video, and they take me back in a hallway, and then they take off their masks. The first guy is a Pakistani Muslim immigrant who lives in Brighton Beach. The first ICE officer, and the second guy is an Indo-Gaianese immigrant who lives in South Ozone Park. And one guy says, yeah, my wife really wants me to quit my job. I don't know how I'm going to pay the mortgage. And then the Pakistani Muslim guy says, what's Mamdani like? He's been to my mosque a couple of times, and I'm thinking of ranking you guys. And I'm just like, I don't know what to make of this. I mean, there's a whole broader issue. Like these guys were not born brown shirts, but Donald Trump and the times that we're living in are making them brown shirts.”

Well earned! And the original NPR review is what turned me on to Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Still the best book I’ve read all year.

Genuinely can’t remember the last time I stayed up to watch live politics coverage and ended up happy. Tonight has been a fucking treat.
