A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.” It's a play in three regressive parts: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Spending cuts on the poor. 3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

There’s a growing problem you’re not supposed to question: masked agents detaining migrants. Not in war zones...here...on U.S. soil. When power hides its face...it stops being accountable. When you can’t ID authority...you can’t challenge it. 1/5 🧵

The number of immigrants detained in ICE facilities across the country has reached a record high of more than 56,000. The driving force behind this surge is the detention of immigrants with no prior criminal convictions.

A valid point! They can’t claim there was no time to consult the Congressional Gang of Eight and share key intelligence with them, as required before committing the nation to war.

As a former intelligence specialist photo Imagery interpreter I can confidently say this nuclear site was NOT obliterated. Just like 9/11 lit a fire under 🇺🇸, this unprovoked attack on Iran by the USA has only kicked the hornet's nest. We've just ensured war for the 2nd quarter of the 21st century.

Wallace: To hear him do his “bit” about it—it’s trivializing the gravest part of the job. And to think about him actually being in that capacity again, as the country’s only commander-in-chief? It’s tragic. It’s really one of the most tragic parts of having him back as president
