My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

“For more than thirty years, when New Yorkers needed a champion, we have turned to Jerry Nadler—and he has delivered for us time and again. Jerry stood alongside gay and trans Americans when it was politically unpopular, voted with courage—not calculus—against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, stood steadfast alongside the first responders and families sickened after 9/11, and led efforts to hold a lawless Trump administration accountable. Few leaders possess his record of principled progressivism, and fewer can claim to have made such an enduring impact on the fabric of our city. Congress will be worse off without his leadership, but our democracy will be better for the selflessness that has defined a legendary career.”

Pure distillation of Trump's view that positive-sum trade is literally impossible—buying = losing & selling = winning, automatically But also a good view into the inconsistencies of his trade "demands". He's mad at India for its tariffs, but even zeroing them wouldn't be enough?

What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us. In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest “client,” but we sell them very little - Until now a totally one sided relationship, and it has been for many decades. The reason is that India has charged us, until now, such high Tariffs, the most of any country, that our businesses are unable to sell into India. It has been a totally one sided disaster! Also, India buys most of its oil and military products from Russia, very little from the U.S. They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago. Just some simple facts for people to ponder!!!

so you're admitting he disappeared

Joe Biden would go multiple days at a time without any public appearances and the media would say he’s “sharp” and “top of his game” Meanwhile he was wearing diapers and napping President Trump puts in more public work hours than any other POTUS in US history and media freaks out if he disappears for 24 hours Comical double standard

people say posting isn’t praxis but our posting made the president of the united states imperil his own health, maybe his life, to stage a stupid photo op while recovering from some illness and/or procedure to treat that illness

It's pretty stunning how the Trump admin has completely burnt down any sense of regularity or proper behavior in every district court in the country.

I’m looking forward to Drew Ensign’s post DOJ career where judges ask him if he understands their rulings and orders all the time.

This is incredible. The DoJ has burned all credibility with the courts.

Coping, seething, throwing up, etc

Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated. In a 7 to 4 Opinion, a Radical Left group of judges didn’t care, but one Democrat, Obama appointed, actually voted to save our Country. I would like to thank him for his Courage! He loves and respects the U.S.A.

obviously Trump always talks in these histrionic terms but it’s very funny to take the position of “if we return to the trade policy of my first term the whole country dies”

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

Congestion pricing is actually the perfect example here. Trump declared that “congestion pricing is dead” (and that he is the king) Hochul and the MTA told him to fuck off, and now, more than 6 months later, congestion pricing is still alive and working exactly as planned

It's not really a coincidence that Trump is panicking and signing an executive order to try and do stuff with voting right after the GOP got creamed in another special election and another one of their incumbents decided to not run again.
