You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Zorhan Mamdani ran one of the best campaigns I have ever seen, and is a uniquely gifted politician. But his greatest achievement was message discipline on ONE thing: affordability. That is a universal message that resonantes for nearly every constituency. Dems need to take notes.

Emil Bove’s “fuck you” to courts whose orders he’d opt to defy should abruptly end his path through the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court. His nomination is well and truly fucked. End of.

What exactly would this prove? It's quite easy to be better than saline placebo. The real question is, "Is it better than the existing standard of care?" which is often another vaccine. This is called a non-inferiority trial and is often required by medical ethics.

I admit to indulging in joy watching some of the worst people on Earth have nervous breakdowns over Zohran Mamdani's win in the primary. Others can barely conceal their deep Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism. They dont even realize how out of touch, bigoted and silly they sound. Alas.

Eric Adams is now Newsmax hits from a car, in case you were wondering where this is going

submitted 4 hours ago • 87 comments

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee. Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on: -free buses -rent freeze -halal cart for $8 instead of $10 -taxing the 1% -no cost childcare -city-owned grocery stores -a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response -building affordable housing -why Cuomo sucks

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots… 📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer. 📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway. There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts

Both Senators Blumenthal and Whitehouse make a point of order that deliberative process and attorney client privileges don't apply in judicial nominee hearings. Whitehouse points that Bove is using the privileges selectively, and doesn't even have the right to invoke it.

The bombing of Iran was a military and tactical failure. It painted a target on the back of every American, and gave Iran all of the proof in the world that it NEEDS to have nuclear war heads to stave off the next inane, illogical and unprovoked attack.
