[generic 80s rap beat] "My name is Andrew Cuomo and I'm hear to say, disqualifying someone from office for sexual harassment allegations not proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law is never the way."
Haha, yeah that makes a lot more sense!
Wait, so you think a pro-Mamdani leftist candidate is gonna kamikaze into the race and let Cuomo get elected with a plurality because Jeffries didn’t endorse Mamdani? I don’t really follow the logic there.
Getting dangerously close to making "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue" a reality.
I was thinking it might transform into a Decepticon and murder you.
I don’t understand, what happens if you just lie down on the bed without registering?
Can’t imagine how many scientific research grants they’re gonna have to cancel to pay to send a set of head calipers to every census-eligible family.
“Zoran Mamdani tweets as Game of Thrones characters”
I believe that's why Tolstoy had originally titled his epic masterpiece War & Peace as "War, What Is It Good For?"
For those of us that don't follow Fed politics closely, can you explain why he's the preferred candidate in that situation?

So the did you know statistic is that this “rare” thing has happened 6 of the last 10 years?
I completely believe this. The “state of the art” chatbots are actually terrible at complex tasks and seem to have hit a point of diminishing returns in their development. Industry surveys show basically every company who attempts large-scale AI deployment is dissatisfied. This is a bubble.
Not to mention Mr. Rogers also famously did a segment where he invites a black man to cool off his feet in his pool at a time when many people were NOT okay with integrated public facilities.
Not to mention that the admin's attention to detail and vetting are so poor that the nomination was proceeding for six months before this piece of publicly available information was discovered.
What’s the reasoning behind that? Basically that if you step out of line you might be targeted for punishment in the tax bill?
Why are you skeeting and then reskeeting your interactions with some doofus commenter with 50 followers?
Not to sound overly sanguine, but at some point these sorts of proclamations become meaningless, right? I mean even this Supreme Court jammed through a midnight order to stop deportations under the AEA. No chance they stand by if the admin tries to suspend habeas corpus under an "invasion" theory.
Bob Baffert holds a special place for me because his blathering idiocy marked the moment (at least in my mind) that the term “cancel culture” became officially meaningless. www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/m...
And that World War I vet’s name was Mel Gibson!

The crux of the Peter Principle is that you keep gettin promoted at jobs you’re good at until you end up in a job you’re unqualified for. Hegseth was a miserable failure at every job he’s ever had but still kept getting promoted. I’d say he’s more just an example of failing upward.
And great GENES!!
Separate trade deals with each penguin on Heard and McDonald Island!
As part of their plan to GUT the science mission at NASA, Trump and Musk want to cancel the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope — a critical project that is on time, under budget, and nearly finished. They want to flush those taxpayer dollars down the drain. How is THAT efficient?
If his appearance keeps degrading at this rate, he’s gonna look like Manuel Noriega by the midterms.
I think the “logic” to it is that instead of worrying about his “real” constituents (American citizens), Van Hollen is wasting his time helping Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant and non-citizen. It’s racist bullshit and not even the slightest bit clever as trolling, but I think that’s the thought.
Today is a good day to consider making a donation to @aclu.org, who were the driving force behind this litigation! action.aclu.org/give/now
Katy Perry, the astronaut?!?!
What is this from?
I was wondering why a dozen people have posted that screenshot without a single one linking the article.
I know that this is probably the last thing on Mr. Garcia's mind, but @kenwhite.bsky.social are chyrons like this (and other characterizations of him as a violent criminal despite all evidence to the contrary) grounds for a defamation suit?
It’s actually called jizz music, not jazz (I’m not kidding)
lol, it took your comms team 24 hours to come up with this idiotic drivel?
Are you suggesting MS-13 bullied Trump into dropping the case?
Could be one of two things (or probably a combo of both): 1. The case is falling apart because they are incompetent. 2. They think they can detain this guy for basically a life sentence in El Salvador without even going through a trial, so why waste the time and effort on a prosecution?
To make sure I’m understanding this, the answer is that if a country has a comparative advantage at making something (i.e., they are better at making it) they will sell more, right?
Until about 4 months ago, I thought the whole point of becoming a billionaire was you could do whatever you want and tell everyone to go fuck themselves. I’ve only now realized that the accumulation of wealth is the end itself and billionaires will go to almost any humiliating length to protect it.
I just don’t think that’s very good political analysis. The closest statewide senate election in the past 25 years has been like D+15 or D+20. It would be more challenging for AOC to defeat the sitting senate leader with 30 years of local goodwill built up in a primary than to win a general.
Trump tax penguins
Politico has a story that Elon is leaving government soon, which would maybe make Tesla less controversial and allow him to actually focus on running the company. I don’t personally put much stock in the report but maybe the street is factoring that in.
Probably Sam Bankman-Fried. He’s in jail now.
What compromise? ADL is now a single-issue advocacy group for the Israeli far-right.
Whoa, so Mark Carney is both the Prime Minister of Canada and acting head coach of the Kent State football team? Looks like Trump picked the wrong guy to try to bully!
You are the Senate Minority Leader. This is when you demand an investigation and if Republicans do not cooperate you bring an end to all business in the Senate.
You think a Republican congress is gonna subpoena those documents?
Let’s see if Chuck Schumer can redeem himself. He should announce that Senate Ds will use every tool of the minority to block action on bills and confirmations unless and until Rs have Public and Private hearings on the reckless security breach and demand accountability and action.
Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary
The district has only had two reps since 1965!
Vaxed?
Very nice where are they now, Kevin Pittsnogle worked his way up the ranks as a teacher to become a middle school principal last year. www.theintelligencer.net/sports/top-s...
Major Gray Davis erasure! /s
This is Fox Biz homepage right now on a day when the Dow dropped by over 500 points
Get loud
Feels like the cake is already baked on tariffs. Even if Trump promises to permanently back off, he’s shown time and again that his word is meaningless and he’ll reverse on a whim. I don’t see how you could possibly consider long term capital expenditures in this environment.
You need to stop “respecting the office of the president” when he stomps on the constitution. You need to step up and fight back!
I love that my mother tried to encourage me to eat my fruits and veggies as a kid but was always a little perplexed why eating a halved grapefruit covered in spoonfuls of sugar would improve my health.
"Trumps expands retribution campaign against law firms that aided his foes" isn't exactly a glowing pro-Trump frame
Prime Minister Trudeau, a lame duck, has stood up forcefully and passionately against Trump and MAGA. As a result, liberals in Canada have experience a 20 point rebound are tied with Conservatives in polling. You'd think Democratic leadership would take a cue from allies in the North but...NOPE!
Chris Hayes: Some Democrats are convinced they just need to keep their heads down and hope they can run on egg prices in two years. Not only is that strategy morally wrong in my view, but it is strategically wrong.
Flash back to the summer of 2014 when there was so little newsworthy stuff happening that CNN ran conspiracy theories about the Malaysia Airlines flight on every show on the network for months upon months. Man, I wish I had appreciated those times more when I was living through them.
Can you explain what these charts mean to a layperson?
Enhance a TV title by changing a word to ‘fuck’ Family Fuck (dealer’s choice if it’s Family Feud or Family Matters)
New Yorker's editor-in-chief David Remnick expresses frustration with Democratic Party leadership, asking "when is the opposition going to come?" He then criticizes Hakeem Jeffries' remark that one shouldn't swing at every pitch, saying: "What pitch are the Democrats going to swing at finally?"
MEDICAID Basics Over 50% of the spending for Medicaid goes to cover those with DISABILITIES and the AGED 38% of those on Medicaid are CHILDREN. /1
What Tesla spike are you referring to? Tesla stock is flat or down slightly since Election Day.
U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.
Dear Manager 1. I woke up 2. Fell out of bed 3. Dragged the comb across my head 4. Found my way downstairs 5. Drank a cup
Is it slowly dawning on them that even though they’ve gotten everything they ever could have wanted from politics and culture in the past few months they’re still deeply unhappy on the inside?
There’s this play called Hamilton you have to see to believe, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson rap in it! (I really did just see it on Broadway for the first time and genuinely enjoyed it)
/8 UPDATE: the paper has taken down the article in compliance with the buffoonishly lawless court order. Here’s a blog reposting it. How many sites can we get to repost it? hipcrimevocab.substack.com/p/clarksdale...
Big if true!
You should probably try to do something to stop it.
Apparently he's taking fruit now, too!
After that price cut how it's almost like you have to buy them!
That’s what drives me nuts about these Dem messaging bills to codify Trump’s actions as illegal. They’re already illegal under existing law, why the hell just not say that? If anything, those bills are counterproductive because they give the impression that his conduct is legal under current law.
Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
Character Limit was the best non-fiction book I’ve read in years and so depressingly relevant today. Keep up the good work!
It's clear that Democratic strategy/messaging is completely outsourced to the consultant class. I'm getting more fundraising texts and emails now than I did in the month before the election because the only solution they can come up with is using paid media to communicate a dull poll-tested message.
Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
Forcing the elderly back into the workforce by cutting social security?

[Elon Musk voice] Concerning
I keep seeing people posting about some sort of 15% cap issue. Can someone please explain what this means and why it’s bad for research and universities? I graduated from a big state school that I love and fully support continued funding for scientific research but I have no idea what’s going on.
At least you were never indicted in connection with the Iran Contra Affair! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_...
Nothing says Law and Order like the US Attorney for the nation’s capitol taking prosecutorial advice from an anon account with a profile picture of David Koresh in a MAGA hat.
Would be great if you used your status as Senate Minority leader to push that action along…
It doesn’t even make sense from a basic logic perspective. If you got put in charge of cutting wasteful spending at a company you would review the budget of each department and start making cuts. You wouldn’t break into the company’s checking account and start canceling random wire transfers.
I get the feeling that Elon literally wants to make earth uninhabitable. He is obsessed with humans being a “multiplanetary species” and is irritated at the slow pace of progress. If he can literally destroy the planet that will force us to prioritize developing new tech for space travel.
A former tech CEO is on a crusade to get the record of his arrest removed from the internet — suing a journalist for $25 million for truthfully reporting that the domestic violence arrest had occurred. sf.gazetteer.co/a-former-tec...
Bud Light reading the tariff announcement like
Donald Trump is pillaging the government and you’re tweeting about fucking guacamole and beer?
When are you going to stand up and fight Donald Trump’s efforts to illegally gut the federal government?
If you’re angry that Congress is idly standing by while Trump seizes absolute authority through brazenly illegal power grabs—restructuring the entire government around his own cruel and arbitrary whims by executive decree—you should call your representatives and tell them: 202-224-3121
Granted, I’m just some internet rando, but literally just spoke to a friend in gov who told me this. Given all the chaos it’s certainly possible agencies are putting out different guidance on how to implement. He’s still not making any decisions until he talks with an employment lawyer.
I’m hearing from a friend in government who got the email that there is a more detailed administrative memo that says if you accept you will be placed on administrative leave for the duration of the 8.5 months once you complete any necessary transition duties.
Right now regular order is proceeding in the Senate. If you think this is an emergency than act like it! You should employ every procedural hurdle in your power to gum up the works until the Trump administration restores the status quo.
That and those stupid plexiglass shields at random checkout counters and medical office front desks.
Sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield bit. “I’m so ugly not even pornbots follow me.”
