It’s pretty incredible Dems have to answer for every activist in existence but Trump has zero responsibility for inciting violence against Dems

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

The mass deportation people want to deport an Iranian national of apparent Armenian heritage — who arrived as a student in ’78, before the revolution — back to Iran? For what, so they can bomb her? Utter senselessness.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Someone take all these sheltered NYC pundits down to an ABC store in Winston-Salem and let them see just how horrified “regular people” are by this thing they’ve used for decades.

Yesterday’s egregious SCt decision allowing folks to be rendered to 3d party countries w/o due process & today’s stunning whistleblower report about DOJ’s unlawful conduct in THAT still-ongoing case are part of the same story. Since that hasn’t quite broken thru yet, a bit more since my morning 🧵

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

In 2021, progressives in NYC failed to come together and the result was four years of a disastrous, corrupt Adams administration. In 2025, Lander and Mamdani formed a united front, and the result is that they beat Andrew Cuomo. Give this man his flowers, he put the city above his ego.

Really can’t overstate how many anti-Mamdani ads were running on local networks over the last week. Basically constant.

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

We're about to see who the real Democrats are vs. just racists who've long used the Democratic Party for political advancement. Lots of "Democrats" are suddenly going to be in a tough spot when it comes to endorsing for the New York City general.

have the people who thought Cuomo would win because "I stand with Israel" was the top issue for NYC Dem primary voters considered that maybe they are trapped in an information bubble by getting their news through a social media platform that isn't representative of reality?

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

Correct. When Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018, he made it the policy of the United States that every country should have an active nuclear weapons program. Today he made it clear they need to develop functional nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Nothing else can prevent a U.S. attack.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Do you know who else didn't have beds? Detainees at Nohra, the first Nazi concentration camp. They slept on blankets and straw in March 1933. No barbed wire, no crematoria, no mass executions. Those came later. Detainees were held in "protective custody" on the grounds of a military school.

Stop with all the lies! And cheers to the people (like my mom!) who accompany immigrants to the courthouses as they follow the myriad of legal steps towards citizenship… or, more often, denial of citizenship. Just being there with cameras helps deter ICE. See something? Film something.

One of the guys who arrested NYC Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social today is wearing jeans and a black t-shirt that says "si vis pacem, para bellum" which means "if you want peace, prepare for war" in Latin. An interesting wardrobe choice for someone we're expected to regard as law enforcement.

Everyone in the chain of command who allowed this — from the platoon leaders to the 18th Airborne Corps commander — needs to be reprimanded if not relieved. We don't ask soldiers their political allegiance and we don't assign them tasks based on political allegiance.

Either the Director of National Intelligence lied in her testimony before Congress, or Trump is lying now. It is that simple. Will any Republicans in Congress say a word? Nope. Will media splash huge stories about it and lead with it? Nope. Just another day in Trump’s America.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.
