It will take many sacrifices in order to force the Trump admin to moderate their actions. That’s what we need for the next 23 months…keep the destruction at bay. It’s like containing a fire to mitigate the possible damage.
Is this a house of cards, like Watergate? Or was that a rehearsal to find new avenues to destroy our government? Where are our Woodwords, Bernsteins and Bradlees? Maybe these resignations are the beginning.
Stopped trying that long ago, they are wilfully ignorant, facts don't matter to them. Guess you also saw the clips of them whining and crying now that they didn't vote for this. So many are now in the FO phase after they FA and voted that orange turd into office again...🤷♂️ #FAFO #MAGAts #MAGAmorons
The point is that even Reagan as one of the worst US presidents had the right stance towards russia that Trump has not what makes him even worse than Reagan. Hope we can agree to disagree here and you'll stop attacking me. https://bsky.app/profile/bonkski.bsky.social/post/3lifmpkjehs2u
Yep...🎯
#TreasonousTraitorTrump was one of my favourite hashtags on Insta after J6. We should bring that back and extend that also by including JD and Elon! #TreasonousTraitors #Traitors #EnemiesOfTheState #PublicEnemies #DonaldTrump #JDVance #ElonMusk #PutinsPuppets #russianCunts #FuckYouFascist
Ronal Reagan was the beginning of the shit show we now live in. I believe "trickle down economics" was coined during his time. We are now about to drown in Republican piss.
I hope the same for him and you are misinterpreting my use of that POS. It's not glorifying and there's nothing wrong with pointing out that his stance towards russia was the right one. It's literally the only positive thing I have to say about him!
Sure he did. He lived for the moment, not the future. Otherwise, he would have bolstered the lower rungs of the economic ladder to grow tge whole economy and not given the top rung so many large tax cuts.
They sure were having a lot of giggles while incriminating themselves on Fox. Gee, I wonder if Fox and Friends could be indicted for aiding and abetting the bribe scheme by serving as hosts for the meeting?
More resignations in NYC. At this rate every government official with integrity and courage will have left their job on principle by the end of next week.
If the governor removes Adams the DOJ would have absolutely no rationale for dropping their case. New York would be better off without a corrupt mayor, doncha think?
The NY Governor needs to remove Adams and put a stop to these resignations. Once out of power, Trump’s goons won’t give a crap about Adams. That’s how weaponized this is.
I just learned that if she removes him before March 26 there is a special election and Republicans are primed to win. If she wants until after, Jumaane Williams will take over. This is a much better outcome. Hochul said she didn't want to be "rash" and I think this was what she was referencing
This is, no doubt, what Trump wants, getting rid of professional attorneys who can legitimately go after his buds. Is resigning a good thing to do? Only if it makes a difference or if the resignee feels better, I suppose.
in this case yes... it's my understanding that it was put to them that someone needed to drop the charges or they'd all be fired. So, rather than being the one to drop the charges, they are resigning. It shows integrity that they won't do the Emperor's bidding. It also makes a statement.
Why not refuse and wait to see if they really are all fired? A threat is only a threat until it becomes a reality, and then although they're out they have a much better collective argument about the corruption, don't they?
He's not a prosecutor, so he can't charge anyone criminally. But at least one NYC district attorney, Bragg's office (though not Bragg himself; he'd have to recuse) could, I believe, charge him for attempted bribery &/or extortion under NY state law. I don't know if, say, Brooklyn's DA, could too.

Am I right? I know nothing re NYS law or NYC gov't structure.
That’s what I am thinking , doesn’t this make it easier to install incompetent loyalists. Once they are installed then you have the incompetent government that MAGA depends on but always complains about: Self fulfilling prophecy // accusation in a mirror
Last I checked, the federal government doesn't get to install people in NYC government positions. But that was just last I checked. Maybe things are different now?
All of the DC staffers are responsible for everything that happens. They all have a chance to save our democracy. Stand up and organize. You have more power than you think. Your bosses can’t function without you! You have a loyalty to the Constitution and the rule of law.
A cease and desist order against Musk, who lacks the constitutional authority to cut funding & Then a class action lawsuit filed against private citizen Musk requiring disclosure of all federal funds allocated or paid to him or his entities. I would sign on & my guess would be millions would join.
If you know someone who has Tesla and/or Amazon shares, they can file a class action shareholders derivative lawsuit against Musk for acting in such a way to devalue the company’s shares, if he is an officer or director or can influence company policy
He’d go down in flames.
Can anyone explain why the governor won't step up and do her job? She should have stepped in before things got this messy.
There has to be a red line on criminal activity and politicians, why is that so hard to understand?
The people come before the office or the politician.
So what do you think is going to happen to the criminal cases against Adams should he be removed? Will he get to keep the Quid if he can no longer deliver the Pro Quo?
Eviscerating? Really? Will it change ANYTHING at all? The case has already been dismissed, and now Trump has several fewer patriots in positions of power willing to stand up to him. Sounds like a win-win for Republicans to me.
George, Conservatives want to issue Marshal Law. Eviscerating the NYC government gives YOU and ALL CONSERVATIVES talking points about how bad Democrat cities are.
George, For the last 55 years, haven't conservatives wanted to shrink government and stop rights for minorities. Reagan and HIV, Same sex marriage, right to abortion, rights in the workplace, unions, snap, welfare...
The destruction of government IS the Conservative plan. Including NYC.
Ur not wrong. I know GTC is sorry he supported dump & has changed his tune, but decades of "conservative" talk always sounded like destroying the federal government WAS the plan. It didn't have as much vengeance baked in as now. Eelon has dump's tax returns by now, so coup complete. God help us.
I partially agree. Conservatism/ GOP = splitting USA based on race & sex since 1950's. Racist "Southern Strategy" is the backbone of GOP conservatism. GOP Cons opposed Medicare, Medicaid, ACA,& stood against the ERA. What we are seeing IS WHAT CONSERVATISM really is & George Conway made this!
There is no rationale for dismissing the case against Adams. Only abject corruption. Those deputy mayors are courageous for taking a stand. My worry is that maga/musk/p25 will replace them cuz only money talks in the U.S. And musk has, for all intents and purposes--infinite amounts of it.
The logic is this: Trump and his evil minions say the case against Adam’s should be dropped because his administration will go after immigrants! By resigning his staff is saying no we won’t! We are not for sale and not interested in quid pro quo! Get it now!
What is preventing her from removing him? Does she have to provide some justification that has not yet been met/documented? He is of no use to the people in NYC.
I assume she’s getting her ducks in a row legally. It would be an unprecedented move, and the Governor’s Office would probably have to fight a lawsuit.
But u know those running the DOJ and the WH don’t like Adams and would gladly watch him squirm.
Can u, or those u know, dig into how this dynamic might play out over the next two years with Adams or anyone the administration seeks to compromise for control?
But how? At the end of the day the resignations are handing them the win they want without getting their hands dirty. These attorneys can now be replaced with yes man criminals.
Dear bsky family, I wrote a short story about Trump. And now I want to help others in need. A portion of my book sales will go toward supporting federal employees affected by these shutdowns. Please help me help them and share my book. I truly appreciate your support! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWKWKGNT?dplnkId=86d20765-3727-4836-a6ff-a81a619260da&nodl=1
Did you hear Adam’s? He sounded exactly like Trump with comments “I fight for you. They’re trying to stop me because they’re trying to stop you. I represent you” blah blah blah. All these guilty people have learned to sing the same song.
Sorry Mayor Adams, you’re not the right COLOR for MAGA!
REMEMBER, TOM HOMAN’s COMING FOR YOUR ASS IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW TRUMPS ORDERS!
You’re just his SLAVE, HE OWNS YOU! AND HOMAN HAS YOU ON A SHORT LEASH!
Damn right he owns him. And trust me he will cash in on it.
This a hole is obsessed with the mass deportation crap.
Watch out Eric!!
But you know what FAFO!!
The Gov will just slow walk until Trump gets his way, right? I’m out here in Cali and they have no appetite to resist Trump. We gotta pressure these people and make them pay.
I’m sure you had plenty of people participating in the 50501 movement. People are traumatized by the fires, the floods, the pushback;they’ll catch their breath and they’ll come back fighting.
Looked he patted Adams' hand in the CNN interview where he explains if he doesn't play ball, its back on. "Good boy, just sit here and let me talk, do as your told"
Thank you NYC and SDNY for your courage and actions to highlight the corruption for all of America to see—if only the red hats would takeoff their blinders.
Adams narcissism and running to Black churches for cover point to him not resigning. With four deputy resignations the City will become ungovernable. Hochul needs to step in immediately and start the process of removal.
Hochul needs to call for a State investigation into the actions of the leadership of the SDNY. They are breaking New York laws.
If the SDNY refuses to cooperate she should shut down their building until they do.
Fight fire w/ fire.
@govkathyhochul.bsky.social may need a few days to get all the ducks in a row, so the release of Adams is done properly and cannot be overturned by "you know who". Reacting on a whim like the occupant in our WH serves no one. Adams removal should be done without room for challenge by anyone.
According to case law from the last time a governor tried to oust a mayor, there has to be a hearing and findings of fact established. If it happens too soon, he could be able to just run again.
There is a motion to dismiss before the judge.
He might deny it, forcing the feds to trial.
“According to the City Charter, “the mayor may be removed from office by the governor upon charges and after service upon him of a copy of the charges and an opportunity to be heard in his defense.” The suspension may not extend more than 30 days, meaning that Adams would be required to formally
I get that and enough people are speaking out about this, applying the pressure. While we are, I'm convinced she is using this time to get things in the right order. I'd rather see her come at this with a calculated, cover all bases response, to ensure the outcome we all want...The firing of Adams.
I live up state. Lots and lots of Republicans here. Our next governor could be a republican. Let's make sure we are organized before we decide to primary an incumbent governor who is a democrat.
I’ll add that one of the main reasons we are in this position is that politicians have not faced consequences for committing crimes. In the “name of the greater good” guise. Now they are essentially above the law, and it’s spreading like a wildfire.
Indeed. I think Hochul should remove him. All politicians should have to answer to their constituents including Hochul. I think we should be cautious in getting rid of her. If she proves that she is not right for the job she should be replaced, but every election is a chance we lose our dem reps.
The most accurate description of said "rationale" was "pretextually transparent". And Hochul should simply fire him and be done with whatever remains of that fig leaf.
It’s very important to free the criminal mayor making him free to get rounding many times not criminals breaking up their families and send them off to Cuba for who knows how long, perhaps for ever. Nothing like a criminal arresting a non criminal 👍like making x heroin user head of national health
They don't care. They don't care about justice. They don't even have to care about optics because they own the only airwaves their sheeple engage with. THIS is why we are screwed.
This is good and bad. We can't forget that federal prosecutors with integrity will be replaced w/ loyalists. I think this is the reason Bove pushed writing the motion onto others - a deliberate strategy to reshape federal prosecutors. Hochul needs to cut this off quickly - by removing Adams.
I’m so sorry. That has to suck. My brother in law is a MAGA too but thankfully I don’t have any contact w/him. He’s ultra Catholic & that’s the way they seem to roll.
Their rationale never made any sense. Anyone who replaced Adams wouldn't be indicted and would have plenty of time to focus on the job.
Who comes up with this nonsense?
Ffs it's proof that she's more politically savvy than you. She seems to be waiting long enough to not trigger a special election. Wait until March 1 and Adams is still mayor. *Then* flip out over Hochul.
Problem is though…the Dump DOJ Doesn’t Care. The “Base” Doesn’t Care. Ambition-Only’s, Complete COWARDS & Fascism Fans are all who remain in the Federal government Right Now.
The Eric Adams case is blatant corruption. The people proudly saying that under Trump the DOJ would be non-politicized were clearly talking nonsense. And no, don't try and say that this is equivalent to prosecuting Trump for stuff that he actually did. It is just a sordid deal.
Adams might have had his case dismissed (and does “without prejudice” means they can bring the case up again?) but I believe it’s only to get him to give “Mu-mp” (musk-trump) every damn thing the could ever want. NYC has Wall Street, NASDAQ, Banks, etc. What else should we expect???
Trump is not working for America he is putin puppet Hillary said it but no one beleives her. While Americans were dying with Covid he was sending medications to make sure his boy friend was ok don’t give a shit about Americans.
There is a plane went down in toranto airport. Thank God there is no injure reported. The media is taking away from Trump crazies if this continue he will singn an executive order that the butter flies wings does not open wide enough. Just to put the news back on him.😅🇨🇦
I floated this idea one other time. I think we ALL need to mail postcards to OUR Representatives. Emails are too easy to delete, postcards take up space, time, and they might even be looked at. Overwhelm them! If half the country voted for this fool, the other half should bombard them with cards.
Put Adams in a different role. Can’t they put him in some barley job type job and try swear in a new mayor? It would still be following the doj ask. He’d still be working for NY
Unfortunately the departure of principled public servants is just a happy byproduct as far as this bunch is concerned. They'll just be smeared as disgruntled and insubordinate.
Is Alberta Health Services using a company to recruit? They don't list Alberta Health Services as a client but they are recruiting in Calgary and mention skipping the agencies?
Most New Yorkers I've ever talked to don't think any of this matters and then get mad about shit like fare hikes and crime. We are a really stupid people with only a few bright lights among us.
From what I read if she waits like 2 weeks (different deadlines etc) then the primary to replace Adams would be closed (so no ratfucking by Republicans).
There’s the issue of Adams’s removal potentially elevating a mayoral bid by Cuomo. No sane Dem wants Cuomo as mayor. He’s vindictive and pissed at Dems for his ouster as gov. Adams will lose the election and we can give time to another Dem to challenge Cuomo.
People were literally voting for democratic politicians who were voting with GOP and they didn’t know it because media rarely reports on how legislators voted in Albany.
Also, they deliberately chose some Latin politicians because many of their constituents couldn’t read English very well.
“Governor Andrew Cuomo was actively involved in the formation of the conference, encouraging it to maintain Republican leadership of the chamber and providing tactical advice in order to keep more liberal New York City Democrats out of power.[20][21][22]”
Yes it’s been in the air for few months now. Andrew’s brother Chris has gone MAGA and Andrew will too. Don’t forget Andrew founded Independent Democratic Conference when he was guv - a group of dem legislators who voted with GOP in order to prevent downstate Dems from implementing democratic agenda
There are 8 other Dems already running for mayor in this year's election. If the voters are stupid enough to elect Cuomo that's on them, not whether Hochul removes Adams.
🤣🤣🤣 It wasn’t QUITE that cold! (More like 30°F). The wind was strong, though, so the wind chill was rough! I had to take the local train into NYC from Westchester County because the express was stuck behind a fallen tree!
I was at Union sq

We were in these cold windy streets not far from NYC. I was genuinely impressed. Demand your news outlets properly cover the protests. Here’s NBC’s contact info: [email protected]
Was about to drop a sarcastic "that's a bracing yet delightful afternoon in the UK", and then remembered that we take great delight in mixing metric and imperial measures.
It is truthful, I am in Connecticut and I had pneumonia last week. I am sure we have protests, but it is 45mph winds and it is high 20's. I don't want to leave my house right now.
I know there were protests here in VT. But we got 15 inches of snow yesterday. I’ve shoveled for about 1.5 hours. Still warming up from the -2F wind chills. 🥶
Nope I was at Union sq

Follow up with email and registered letter requiring signature upon receipt. that way the registered letter will be guaranteed to arrive and be seen by someone signing for it!
Should she wait to see if the court accepts the motion to dismiss, and then take action? If the courts don't dismiss the indictments (Danielle Sassoon's letter lays out why they might not), let that stand and then get rid of him. If they do dismiss, then nothing lost in waiting ? What am I misssing?
Ok but please explain why that matters? It’s being dismissed anyway. And even if idiots line up to fill their shoes, the administration doesn’t REALLY care about the law, only outcomes. Who’s gonna stop them?
Adams’ quid pro quo was to let ICE agents use Rikers jail for immigrants. So, presumably if he’s removed as mayor, he won’t have any authority to force the City to help federal ICE agents.
It’s all good. I’m honestly trying not to be so pessimistic. And shortly after I posted, I read that the governor cast doubts on his ability to serve, which hopefully brings his departure to a faster conclusion. But I just feel like we’re talking about people immune from shame & ignore the law.
Exactly. Jail would be best. Removal from office only stops the bleeding, but doesn’t punish him personally. People like him don’t care about the law and never will
Whenever someone writes an article suggesting there is some MAGA master plan, Trump and Co. do something like dropping the Adams case. Bove exposed himself and undermined the DOJ and SDNY in a scheme that had zero chance of actually accomplishing anything.

How will the law be enforced when Trump/Musk fail to follow the law(s)?
When America was under the monarchy, the monarchy didn't have as much power as Trump/Musk does today.
