The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Guess what, asshole. I am autistic, have a fucking PhD, and have been married for over 20 years. Fix your heart or die.

I've been in a relationship for 22 years and I pay my taxes, thank you very much. And if more autistic people are recognized, maybe it's because we pay more attention to them. I was only diagnosed last year when I was 43, and nobody cared that I was a bit different as a child.

I think NYC deserves a mayor who cares enough about this place to actually bother running but that’s just me!

It's insane how congestion pricing in NYC has been just about the most unambiguously successful new policy implemented in my lifetime and still all the dumbest people in government want to get rid of it

First poll that shows, in theory, DREAM would defeat Andrew Cuomo.... I'd imagine that Lander and A. Adams (??) will likely increase their support in the coming weeks, the question is how disciplined can they keep their own voters. UFT & 1199 also in the wings. Mayor's race is very far from over.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

It’s so funny when people complain about this stuff because a) it’s not really true and b) language evolves and changes all the time, otherwise we’d still be saying “hitherto” and “thenceforth”

Public opinion on immigration is malleable and responds to visible cruelty, a thing democrats are cursed to relearn when out of power and then fail to build upon once in office.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

I think an element of the deportation story that is being underrated by folks without strong views on immigration or the Middle East is the government’s persistent conflation of peaceful political protest with support for terrorism. That feels like a significant step toward ending political freedom.

When I reported a long 2021 piece about Cuomo, a thing that many people who worked for him for years told me about (besides the corruption, incompetence & cruel domination tactics) was that he & those in his senior circles JUST DIDN'T CARE about policy, or about actually getting anything done.

It appears Roberts’ attempt to be cutesy with language to give Trump an out backfired on him horrendously and here we are at exactly what Roberts didn’t want: Trump brazenly delegitimizing the Supreme Court and all but holding a press conference to brag about it.

Watching this Trump-Bukele meeting with chime-ins from Miller, Bondi and Rubio. There's just no question about the game they're playing. A stream of lies and escalations and absolute nonsense that any sane person can see through instantly. Astonishing that so many don't.

“Does [Cuomo] believe that rent control is merely symbolic? Or that it's "extreme" to keep affordable housing units on the market? A paragraph on page 29 also cites a fact to a 2024 Gothamist article, and includes the site where the source was generated: ChatGPT.” hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

The problem with this statement is that it sounds good, but every interview with legal and illegal immigrants who voted for Trump is them saying “I wanted a crackdown, I just didn’t think they’d come for me”. They would never have believed the Democrats.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.
