i love being gay. you get into unique situations

75 days apart

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

working class: billionaires buy elections billionaires: i buy elections white collar centrist think tank guy who promotes himself as some kind of working class whisperer: nooooooooooooooo that's not how money in politics works

Protesters against NYT's new podcast got started early. fair.org/home/activis...

it’s funny that they’re both on their own personal websites posting their little posts

Keep track of any Democrat or commentator or personality who advocates for Musk to be welcomed back into the fold. These are people you cannot trust and should be kept as far away from the levers of power as humanly possible.

You know when two horrible people date each other, and everyone knows how it will end because they’re both horrible people to everyone and each other, & when it eventually does, you’re left with the unanswered question of whether their mutual cruelty was the only slender thread that ever bound them

Mamdani stood up for an Israel of equal rights. The Israel we would support.

I am leaving the Democrats Party due to its penchant for hiring incompetent and self-promoting White House press secretaries. by Karine Jean-Pierre

That is the nicest thing

The way Tilson mumbled through how much he pays monthly for taxes and services

Most underwhelming candidate was in fact Tilson

Damn this debate is a marathon (I started late)

Fear. To make us all feel fear.

Family Research Council in 2017 vs. Nancy Mace yesterday

The political dynamic of the American Jewish community is one of the most important stories of our time, and that is why I am so glad @davidklion.bsky.social is on the beat, because he’s a very good writer and journalist and his stories always leave me with much more understanding

lmfaooooooooooooo

So was the humiliation fetish read correct, in the end? Would explain everything.

Whitney Tilson’s Meta ad campaign is 100% fear — at least what’s showing up on my IG feed. Big mistake to spend on me because it just convinced me he is unrankable

Anyone who didn’t see Palantir walking straight into Trump’s arms wasn’t paying attention 😭 we are so fucked

Literally any fucking grifter can get published in a “respectable” “mainstream” publication if they accuse Democrats / the Left of having a totally different trans policy than the one they actually have/had in Biden.

For my @msnbc.com column this week, I wrote about exactly what the Republican anti-trans budget bill would do to trans people on Medicaid. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Ads on IG by Whitney Tilson accusing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of insufficient Zionism and of daring to call a genocide a genocide have popped up three times this morning (they’re going for Bushwick, I guess)

Gee what could it be about all these assaults in bathrooms

Also: Presenting “Africans were active in the slave trade” as something the leftist “political correctness” warriors want to censor is so telling. No one disputes this. The issue is the Right’s “Whataboutism” that brings this up purely as a way of shutting down critical debate about U.S. history.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

The wording of the question has changed, but congestion pricing is now at -2 statewide; +10 in NYC in this month's Siena poll. That's a 20 point swing from -22 statewide shortly before launch in December. December poll: scri.siena.edu/wp-content/u... May poll: scri.siena.edu/wp-content/u...

HARD DISAGREE with this headline but this was an incredibly fun conversation with @christress.bsky.social about how The Onion is punching so damn hard right now, and why that's good for both business and the world at large. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

The great thing about journalism is all the gifted reporters and editors have lost the jobs they went into debt to train for and sacrificed their emotional health to do well, but half a dozen middle-aged moral disasters are now the face of the whole discipline because they suck up to billionaires

“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

JD Vance kiss of death undefeated

It is and always has been a battle between the class of New Yorkers who only ever travel in a chauffeured vehicle and the much bigger group of people who use bikes and trains and buses and subways to navigate the city. And sometimes drive a car, too. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/16/a...
