Speaking to nonlawyers: never let a legal pundit tell you a SCOTUS case isn't a big deal because it's written around a wonky technical issue. The true wonky technical cases are readily apparent and look quite limited in the number of people affected. If it looks big and serious, it is.

Beyond the greasiness of buying the election, Ackman once again repeats the trope that NYC is “becoming more violent” while NYC right now has the lowest murder and violent crime rate in recorded history. You can’t overstate how deranged these people are, genuinely living in an imaginary world.

It's really troubling how niche a character Stephen Miller seems to be to the average person. The guy is an outright nazi who genuinely seems to be in charge sometimes

I think the Mamdani voter doesn’t really think he can deliver on every single one of his promises, but they do think he can deliver on “not a piece of shit.” Which given the mayoral line up that most people know, that’s a pretty attractive promise.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

If “affordable housing, decent insurance, not bullying minorities, and rich people actually having to pay taxes” are called socialism for forty years now, guess what you just did?

The Dutch government has set a target of 100,000 new homes a year for the past 8 years. They’ve never come close. A target without a plan is just an embarrassment. If homes are too expensive, young people have to go to other countries and the Netherlands becomes a retirement community.

Why does Andrew Cuomo want to be mayor of a city he does not live in? (I know, technically he lives there now because he registered in an upper east side apartment to run for mayor, but jfc. He was awful to the city as governor. Has he mellowed or changed as he aged? No, he’s crankier than ever.)

Honestly "all triggered by the Iranian revolution of 1979" is the type of description so precisely misleading that it could not have arisen by ignorance, it has to be coming from someone who is wholly familiar with what preceded the 1979 revolution and is willfully lying about it.

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.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

It’s very obvious that political outcomes are not about policy positions but in group out group and vibes stuff but I think a lot of the refusal of moderates to admit it comes from an unwillingness to face the fact that whatever else moderation does, it doesn’t stop fascism

There is a very simple reason New York Democrats shouldn't vote for Andrew Cuomo: he is actually a Republican. When given a chance to help Republicans maintain control of his state, he took it. He actively works to keep Democrats from achieving their goals and takes money from Trump supporters.
