Also great to see Shahana Hanif win handily despite similar smears

The anti-Shahana mailer from Daniel Loeb’s super PAC is pretty Islamophobic. Maya Kornberg should denounce it, but she’s been playing this cagey game where she claims she’s against outside money in politics but is happy to benefit from it. Vote @shahanafrombk.bsky.social in D39.

Absolutely. However, Vance surely understands this distinction and is deliberately misrepresenting the opposing point of view because he’s a shameless liar

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Jessica Ramos’ deranged endorsement of Cuomo is great news for everyone who was interested in ranking Michael Blake but didn’t know who to bump from their top 5.

I’m not a hardcore abundance guy but iirc Klein and Thompson expressly say the evidence is that the reason it’s so hard to build new NYC infrastructure isn’t because of unions. Did Barro read their book??

It’s really under-appreciated how many right wingers believe basically all federal employees are either communists or, in the case of non-white employees, people in useless make-work jobs who couldn’t hack it in the private sector

The plaque is funny but I think the building looks cool. Also it’s hard to argue it’s not an improvement over the vacant lot that was there before www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/r...

Now what am i supposed to do the next time I reach 500 open safari tabs on my iPhone? They can’t expect me to just close that that random New Yorker article someone sent me three months ago and that I still haven’t read without saving it

Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly. www.cjr.org/feature-2/we...

Something to this but I’d like to get to a place where only Republicans and not Democrats are dying in office and freeing up seats, and Democrats have a lot ability to get us there as a country

I haven’t read Original Sin but I listened to Jake Tapper on Ezra Klein’s podcast and I heard a guy who just really hates the Democratic Party as an institution and Biden personally. Of course his claims are internally contradictory—probably because his seething contempt clouds his judgment

Please don’t! Literally the only reason for this is that Trump thinks Cuomo is the favorite to win and that targeting him would therefore be bad for Democrats. It has less than nothing to do with Cuomo’s virtues (to the extent those even exist)

True as of now, but the DC press corps is gonna do its damnedest to make this a scandal. Maybe the attempt will fail, but if it does, the beltway media will just unify around something else to cripple the Democratic nominee as best it can

Joe Biden relitigation is catnip for the press because it gives them a chance to avoid saying difficult things about the present situation we are all in while also getting to talk about themselves

This is a story about traditional media dying and the void being filled with specifically right wing disinformation, but the Times elides this (and this isn't just a case of a bad headline on top of a good article) because both sides

He’s such an evil piece of shit and yet I cannot stop laughing at his speaking style I had a chicken sandwich for lunch. I call it the chicken sandwich I had for lunch.

people on the continent will write anything. "Jazz is part of the culture industry that contributes to the present sustainability of capitalism by rendering it 'aesthetically pleasing' and 'agreeable'" No it isn't. That isn't true.

This guy had family to rescue him; Kilmar Abrego-Garcia came to light because his wife saw pictures of him at CECOT. How many people have been disappeared who we just don’t know about because they don’t have the right family/friend connections to get lawyers for them or get them covered on the news?

Back in law school some libertarian was insisting in an argument on the law school email list that efficient markets theory is a proven fact and when Warren Buffet came up he was like “well Buffett is really good at hiring brilliant people to know which investments will actually pay off” and uhhhhh
