Very good feature. Note that Cuomo skipped what is arguably the most important question on here: "How should the next mayor deal with President Trump?" That speaks volumes. Don't rank Cuomo.

I’m actually really glad the anti-trans Republican candidate lost in Nebraska the very same night after a bunch of Very Serious People people spent all day “yes, yes, Dems need to be serious about moderating on social issues to win”-ing across the internet.

RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

How many people are in the closet today because the New York Times has made the world a colder place to their true selves? It isn’t zero.

You deserve a newspaper which can figure out that 2+2=4. The New York Times, for whatever reason, has consciously made the decision not to be such a newspaper.

It’s not like the story reveals something truly corrupt, such as Hillary Clinton accepting a $400 million plane from Qatar.

There was no Russian hoax first time. Trump's campaign manager, foreign policy advisor, NSA, personal lawyer, & rat-fucker were all adjudged to have lied to cover up his ties to RU. And Kirill Dmitriev has picked up right where RU left off in 2017 when investigation halted efforts.

Maybe Qatar can give us an air traffic control system to match the plane with which they’re bribing our president?

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Instead of stating simply that this is illegal, this story walks through the entire process of turning a gifted plane into Air Force One, as if the thing readers need to know about a bank robbery is the ins and outs of how the thieves plan to launder the money.

Joyful persistance. May 10, 2025. Tesla dealership, Gowanus, Brooklyn. Every Sat, 12-2pm. Lots of honking! Truck drivers, bus drivers, pickups, several dozen Amazon drivers (truck route), even the Tesla workers ferrying the cars back and forth. Only one guy yelled - F you all. The occasional finger.

The Administration has arrested a judge in WI and a mayor in NJ, and is threatening to arrest federal lawmakers. In any other country we would say the strongman's security forces are locking up political opponents. We need to treat it exactly that way here. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

Underrated reason Cuomo would be a terrible mayor is he’s maybe the only candidate as vulnerable to federal blackmail as Adams
