The joy I feel whenever Mike O’ Malley pops up in a TV show.

Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

Now my eyes will be watering with tears of joy!

Aside from what a bad idea this is, it’s yet another example of Cuomo taking zero responsibility for the campaign he’s ostensibly running. He sure does like to throw people under the bus. Don’t rank Cuomo.

If this happened two years in a row, I'd think about getting serious about a deal with my staff: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

No offense to Mr. Pizzaballa, but it's extremely weird to imagine the possibility of a Gen X pope. The pope is supposed to be guided by voices, not out here having opinions about Guided by Voices.

When I become president, all of my executive orders will be about getting rid of right turn on red

Wise words from AOC @aoc.bsky.social

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

he’s right and he’s right to say it

He's doing this because he's trying to make it to the safety of City Hall and what he thinks is some sort of consequence-free zone. Don't let him. Don't rank Cuomo.

It's been 3+ years since Washingtonian's staff unionized, and we still don't have a contract. Tonight, our boss will throw a swanky party for women in journalism while systematically underpaying women who work for her. Please take a moment and send her a note: actionnetwork.org/letters/pay-...

Okay #nyc theatre pals: if I can only squeeze in one, which should I see? All-Nighter John Proctor is the Villain

😭😭😭

This miserable president has a pliable Congress and could make changes to the law but is instead just writing bullshit like “The Civil Rights Act no longer exists” on White House stationery and calling it policy

Regular reminder that executive orders aren’t laws they’re at best directives for interpreting existing law or, in the case of the asshole currently occupying the Oval, they’re just press releases.

Laser focused on improving the lethality of our military.

My villain origin story is none of you sneaking me into NPR for this. youtu.be/KqSYVWHAPQQ?...

Can JD Vance kill this pollen count next?

I gathered up a selection of Richards -- my Dick picks, if you will. Check 'em out: potuspages.substack.com/p/dick-picks

Ugh I’m getting so many of these

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

for alito especially, racism is fake, anti-LGBT bigotry is fake, and the only real discrimination is against conservative christians who can't make public school curriculum by decree

Sinners (2025)

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

FMK: JD Vance edition.

The guy upset about women in the military is giving us Real Housewives of the Pentagon

It really says something about the way you, as a DC person, see the world when you call Maryland our “northern neighbor.” AKA “tell me you are white and from Ward 3 without telling me you are white and from Ward 3.”

Queen Elizabeth is dead. Kevin from Dublin is in charge of the Vatican. The Irish have been playing the long game …

why does the pope dying on the same day of the year as Prince seem significant

Live your life so that when you visit the Pope and he dies the next day everyone’s first thought isn’t “bet he killed him”

One of the pope’s last acts in his life was telling JD Vance how much he sucks. May we all hang on long enough to do so.

If you ever go to a restaurant and Jules Munshin is your waiter, fill up on bread because it's going to be a looooooong time before you get a chance to order.

the funny thing about signalgate is that it wouldn't have been funny 6 months ago, it would be very serious and horrifying, but our bodies have stopped producing cortisol and signalgate is only funny thing to have happened in months

young men don’t need a “left Joe Rogan” they need sports betting regulation

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

Many people have no idea how much money international tourism brings into this country and the impact of this is going to be a doozy.

And now, my favorite Easter tradition.

I'm losing my mind The Union grindset guys were everywhere
