Feels like they’ve been teasing “additional sanctions” on Russia for a long time already. Sh*t or get of the put already.

Exactly right. A class act.
My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
High praise.
Ok. That made me giggle.
Mamdani came along just when we needed a native New Yorker to remind us how special and wonderful that city is, and how it can be even better for those that live and work there. He’s a mensch.
It will be worth every one of those ten seconds.
I just hope it’s not another Dan Goldman.
I bet Mr. Kirk eats his bacon with his fingers.
Also, what happened to the framed golf photo collection behind that one scowling guy? It disappeared in the mirror reflection.
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
Boston Herald, the most embarrassingly bootlicking, fascist-supporting tabloid in New England, has been beating the drum for military occupation of downtown since Trump was elected. Today’s complaint? The smell of an MBTA elevator. Full page news. Respect the @NationalGuard.
🤷♂️
Must be the meds talking.
Enrich “some” boomers.
A young person was recently in my home and asked me what those unused receptacles in the walls were. I explained they were “phone jacks.” That response did not compute and got a blank stare.
What are those?
And in the “Live Free or Die” state. 👨🏽🍳💋👌
I do hope Pritzker runs for President. He speaks with clarity and a passion, with love for his country, that is so desperately needed at this terrible moment in our history.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Lovely. For some reason it put me in mind of this one.
Mayors are not named crazy stuff like "Zohran Mamdani". Mayors have regular American names like "Fiorello LaGuardia"
What goes around comes around.
That Obama judge should have this one framed and hang it in his chambers. Talk about a legacy. 🙄
Oh
That King of Jordan seems like a sane, decent man.
It should say “TWAT.”
Is Portnoy that schmuck who runs around doing nasty man-on-the-street reviews of freaking pizza parlors?
Beware the Midas repair shop. Years ago someone at a Midas joint in Queens lifted my bankcard debit number and emptied my account. On Christmas Eve.
That picture of Patrick Lynch triggered me. What a preposterous blowhard.
Old dawg, no new tricks.
It's extremely unfair to speculate about Donald Trump's health just because he's elderly and can't form linear thoughts and has the diet of a first grader who won the lottery and his flesh has been changing color like autumn leaves.
“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
Indeed. I checked Vegas off my bucket list a long time ago. Not even that sphere thingy could get me back there.
Death warmed over?
We will know when Fox cuts to Swan Lake continuous loop.
History is not going to be kind to a lot of politicians on the question of Israel genocide. 🤷♂️
Fixed it!
But would Joe attend the state funeral?
That’s a lot of words to say we shouldn’t be honoring the heroics of traitors to the United States of America. That’s Lee’s actual rank.
Mouth breather.
Just bc you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
Police “unions” are not unions as we think of them. They are armed paramilitary fraternal organizations, whose primary function is to shake down elected officials and the public.
👆Another reason Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next Mayor.
Mulch, or….manure?
New Hampshire is, apparently, in the thrall of Trumpism.
Platner sounds great. Let’s just hope that, if elected, he doesn’t turn out the way Fetterman did.
Zohran Mamdani will be a good mayor bc he loves his city and the people that actually live and work in it.
If Trump nominates her to the federal bench, lets hope this, and all her other partisan rants, are quoted back to her in any future confirmation hearing.
This is your periodic reminder that Hakeem Jeffries was Nancy Pelosi’s hand picked successor. That’s why we are now getting more of the same “centrist” blather about “return to normalcy” as fascism quickly entrenches itself. Dems need a new attitude. Fast.
There will be a crucial voting rights referendum on the ballot in Maine this November in what will be the first true test in Trump's war on mail voting. EVERYONE IN MAINE needs to be made aware of 'Question 1'. Here is a @boltsmag.org deep dive on the subject. boltsmag.org/maine-questi...
They clearly know the end is near. We are now living in the remake of “The Death Of Stalin.”
After Donald Trump's massive tax handout to the rich in 2017, the wealthiest 400 Americans paid a lower tax rate than the average American family. How is that fair? Tax the rich and invest in lowering costs.
They did this in Massachusetts and the rich haven’t fled and there’s now more money for education and public transit. A win win for society.
The NYPost is still pumping out the anti Mamdani smears, but it’s just all so flaccid and empty. They know Cuomo is a two time loser and they’re just going thru the motions now. They can’t touch Mamdani.
70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.
Looks better than the Costco version!

Their maps aren’t subtle. I think the most recent ones split somewhat blue SLC into like three or four separate rural dominated Congressional Districts. Can they possibly make it any worse or more unrepresentative?
Donald Trump is purging the CDC leadership and putting in charge the guy who thought RFK Jr. was doing a “great job” after measles cases hit a record high. These fools can’t be trusted with your health.
The NYPost is still caping for Cuomo, but it is becoming increasingly hollow and funereal. Cuomo is finished, and they know it.
If the Dem Party leadership could ever extricate their heads from their hindquarters, they could galvanize public opinion over the degradation of healthcare public policy & attack Trump by making his disastrous appointee, RFK Jr. public enemy number one. He’s a gift, should they choose to accept it.
I doubt this is a Kushnet connection. I think Duffy just saw South Station has become a dump and made a stupid comment as he is wont to, but the state needs to get Ashkenazy out of there.
I haven’t been in the South Station concourse since the high rise and related construction, but it is in need of a major redo. It could be more like Moynihan Train Hall and less like one of those aging Mass Pike rest stop food courts.
Nope. That was Bill Clinton’s rationalization for signing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” It took almost 20 years to undo that injustice. Throwing the inconvenient minority of the moment under a bus cannot be the expedient policy of a “big tent” party that is the sum of all its parts, or of none.
Yeah, those diesel engines really stink too!
I live near an MBTA commuter rail terminus. About 1/4 mile. The roar of the diesel engines idling during layovers is often very audible. I remember when Sen Lesser, running for LG, advocated for electrification of this line. Long overdue.
🎯🎯🎯
Case study: Erdogan replaced technocrats with loyalists and kept rates low when they needed to rise. Inflation soared to 86%, and is still painfully high. That’s the playbook Trump's floating. Keep the Fed independent if you want low inflation without the drama.
Are they all still wearing diapers and taping sanitary napkins to their ears as well?
Don’t ask me, ask “middle America.” It’s a very big country with a long history history of violent conflict over social and public policy issues. I live in the Blue part, which sadly has not been ascendant of late.
This happened in Minnesota. Thousands of miles from where Zohran Mamdani is running for Mayor of NYC. When he’s Mayor he will def have “elbows up” whenever necessary.
These MAGA hate filled rubes are gonna end up making the Pulse Memorial as famous as Stonewall. They cannot erase us or shove us back into the closet. Persist and resist!
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
I’m no longer living in NYC. But where I do live I am literally surrounded by homes that have been converted to AirBNB rental units. It has destroyed a residential neighborhood with hordes of short term transients in a now de facto hotel zone. Strict regulation of this business is essential.
Some day soon it will be the Museum of Russian War Crimes.
starting a new org to recruit centrist candidates called run from something
Is anyone suggesting doing that?
Oh, I definitely support Zohran Mamdani, but don’t clutch your pearls too closely. But the Tom Nichols “please curb your verbiage” crowd can go fuk themselves.
Hmm. Deep thoughts. You didn’t answer the question. Were you even registered as a Democrat in that primary you are so concerned about?
What exactly do you see?
OK. You go first.
You retweet the likes of Bill Kristol. Fine. But never forget who these people really are. If they belatedly help stop Trumpism, fine. But then they’ll be right back to their old elitist schtick.
A “coalition” is one thing. Allowing this bunch to turn the Democratic Party into their preferred GOP lite is a bridge too far. That’s exactly how we got to where we are today.
Welp Mr.know it all, I did in fact win elections for many years. Also lost one. How bout you, big mouth?
Me, myself, and I. Now GFY.
Why?
I want Tom Nichols and the rest of his merry band of “Never Trump” Conservative, unrepentant, lifetime enablers of Trumpism to go start their own fucking party, instead of trying to remake our party to their own liking as a consolation prize.
Who actually cares if a local Congresscritter endorses Zohran Mamdani? Mamdani is clearly the leader that NYC needs right now in the face of Trump’s extraordinary abuse of power.
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
If Trump supporters actually found mortgage fraud to be disqualifying for high public office, they would not be Trump supporters.
We have one incredibly courageous client. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
"What you actually see in DC is deserted streets, deserted monuments, reservations cratering—because people don’t want to risk interactions with armed agents of the state." On the pod @vermontgmg.bsky.social is great on how we're slowly sliding into authoritarianism: newrepublic.com/article/1995...
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
