This is precisely what the people are yearning for. Itâs the feeling the bad guys are winning, bc they areâthey revel in their triumph, exuding smugness and arrogance. Theyâre not engaged in a sincere attempt to bridge the divide to find common ground. Compromise is not an option dealing with MAGA

Amen! As a New Yorker, I appreciate you @repjasmine.bsky.social for finally speaking the truthâblue state tax dollars keep broke red states afloat. Time for MAGA to step out of their bubble. #FAFO

Biden boosted IRS funding through the Inflation Reduction Act, while Trump is reducing it. They donât want the IRS to fulfill its roleâensuring that millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share. Is it fair enforcement or just protecting the wealthy? #TaxTheRich #IRS #FairShare

Roganâs dethroning was overdueâspreading misinfo for too long
Congrats to #MeidasTouch! Grinding it out daily since day one. Independent media getting it done while legacy media continues to fail us

Like 9/11 and the Holocaust, we must not let deniers distort or erase the truth of J6. It was a coup attempt and a stain on our history. Thank you for defending the truth, Harryâyour commitment to democracy is remembered.

What do you want Biden to sayââI told you soâ? The media and even Democrats spent years neutering him, treating him like an afterthought while obsessing over Trump. If they had done their jobâcovering Biden w the respect his presidency deserved i/o normalizing a convicted felonâmaybe we w/n be here

NYCs political landscape is shifting. Special elections are unpredictable and progressives face pushback on crime and immigration. Hochulâs narrow win over Zeldin signaled voter dissatisfaction, while Cuomo still retains support among moderates, including Black and Orthodox Jewish communities
comment in response to
post
Hochul is indecisive. As Governor, she knew about Adamsâ corruption since before his indictment. Do you really think she wasnât informed about the investigation? All this talk about consulting leadership is nonsense. Just as Cuomo had to go, itâs now Adamsâ turnâheâs toxic and needs to be removed
comment in response to
post
Cuomo will likely be elected, whether in a special election or the mayoral race. Although he hasnt declared his candidacy, an Emerson College Poll shows him w 33% support, while Mayor Adams has 10%. Other candidates, like Stringer and State Senators Ramos and Myrie, are in single digits
comment in response to
post
Waiting wonât help Hochul hold off Cuomo. New Yorkers feel he was done wrong by Democrats and the polls reflect thatârecent polling shows heâs leading the Democratic primary field. New Yorkers want Adams gone. Heâs corrupt and needs to be removed nowâyou donât keep someone like him in power
comment in response to
post
What a weak move. Is Hochul afraid to act because itâs Black History Month? Sharpton isnât an elected leaderâhe told her to wait on Adams, and it backfired. Adams is corrupt, his admin is rotten, and heâs lost the NYPDâs confidence and respect. He cannot stay in power. Period.

Itâs simple: stand up to a bully, and theyâll back down.
Letâs be realâAOC is from the Bronx. You really want to take on someone with that kind of street smarts? Us New Yorkers know exactly how to handle a bully.

It was an ambush, Harry. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Iâm with you, Glenn. People in the Fox bubble h/b kept from the truth for too long. If Fox wont tell them, itâs time to take it to them. We all have family who refuse to listen. Have you considered Rogan? He spreads misinfo, and we need voices explaining the rule of law and what Trump was guilty of

That community note holds no significance for MAGAworld. When did facts ever hold any importance for them? J6 was a day of love and theyâve repeated it so frequently theyâve convinced millions the heroes of that day are the villains. In their twisted perspective, 43 is greater than 946

Georgeâhow dare you remain silent when the Harris campaign raised a billion and the media failed to remind everyone?
⢠Impeached 2x
⢠Mishandled a pandemic
⢠Attempted a coup
⢠Stole classified docs
Itâs time to hold voters accountableâthey elected a convicted felon/adjudicated rapist. #FAFO

Iâve been a registered voter since 18 and never got polledânow they call daily. Stop asking who I like. Iâm still salty about Bidenâs treatment. Maybe if Democrats grew a backbone and stepped into the modern era of governing, campaigning, and reaching voters, weâd have something to talk about

Now you tell the people. You had 2+ years to warn us. Bastards.

Why should it matter whether Cuomo runs in a special election or the primaries? Heâs running either way. Adams is corrupt and needs to be removed nowâyou donât keep someone like him in power.
comment in response to
post
Hochul has no choice. She knows the corruption in the Adams administration runs deep, and if she doesnât act, New York voters will hold her accountable. This isnât about timing or Cuomo. If he runs, he runsâwhether she removes Adams now and triggers a special election or waits for the primaries.

So Biden steered us out of it⌠of course Trump tanked it again. Damn and I generously gave it 6 months before he fucked it up.
comment in response to
post
Sheâs unbearable. She says she âneeds timeâ and âdoesnât want to make knee-jerk decisions.â Seriously? She knew how shady he was, and ever since Trumpâs election, it was obvious something was up. Is that really the kind of guy she wants running NYC? Just get it over with already!

Where the hell is Governor Hochul? Barb, wouldnât the choice now be for her to remove Adamâs from office and end this nightmare?

Weâre stuck in the planning stages for a single day of protest sometime in March, thereâll be nothing left of this country by then. Other countries immediately take to the streets in protest, fighting for their futureâlike we used to. Have we forgotten how to make our voices heard?

Totally tracks w this lawless adminâthe loon spreading lies, misinfo, conspiracy theories is vaccinated, along w his wife and children, yet heâs now in a position to make decisions that put lives at risk. Itâs my future grandchildren Iâm terrified for, w someone like him shaping public health policy

Trump set the precedentârunning for office while the courts bent over backward to accommodate him. Delays worked in his favor, rewarding him with re-election while the public never heard the full extent of his actions. Now, Adams and others and w/b following his lead to evade accountability.

Itâs up to New Yorkers now to vote him out. Letâs show we have more integrity and respect for the rule of law than those who voted for an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, and coup plotter for president.

Gotta hand it to Trumpâeverything he touches turns to shit. I figured heâd coast on Bidenâs economy for at least six months before it cratered, but itâs happening even sooner. The mass deportations are working like a charmâgo on, âMerica, time to claim those jobs you swore immigrants were stealing!

#PLUSLoans were excluded from forgiveness, leaving #parentborrowers out in the cold. What they didnât tell you? PLUSloans never qualified. My husband, a 30-year civil servant, did everything for PSLFâconsolidated, IDRâyet the loan was never forgiven. And Harris? Useless. No plan for parent borrowers
comment in response to

Yeah, well, if the #DOE is on the chopping block, does that mean I can stop paying the #PlusLoan I was promised would be forgiven under #PSLF and wasnât? The #FederalStudentAid website is down for âmaintenance,â locking users out until February 9th.

Every day needs marches, not just a symbolic planned day of protest and then itâs over and everyone goes home.

Yeah, well, looks like the next government agency on the chopping block is the Department of Education. The #FederalStudentAid website is down for âmaintenance,â locking users out until February 9th. #180DaysofHell #FloodingtheZone

Weâve been here before, and the media never learned their lessonâflooding the zone with misinformation, sending them down a rabbit hole to distract from the real agenda.

3/ Once we get rid of Citizens United and remove money and foreign influence from our politics, we might finally be able to self-correct on other issues
comment in response to
post
2/ Instead of fighting for working families, the party that once championed them has left them behind. Thatâs why they were repudiated and lost. They even threw President Bidenâthe most pro-union, blue-collar presidentâunder the bus by refusing to tout his accomplishments.
comment in response to

1/ Iâd choose overturning Citizens United. Corporations, millionaires, and billionaires have too many champions in Congressâwho do we have? Democrats have lost their spine, AG. Theyâre too focused on culture wars the average American doesnât care about.

Congratulations, AG! Another one Iâll be checking into!

Angry, itâs frustrating because we canât find your AMA responses. I scrolled all the way down and even switched to replies, but theyâre still not showing up. Would you consider posting a transcript of the AMA once itâs over, at least until @bsky.app resolves this issue?â

The cruelty is the point, Harry. We had one chance to self-correctâa moral testâand failed. This isnât just on Republicans; Democrats threw the most consequential president, Biden, under the bus. And the media? They failed to rise to the moment. This dark time didnât come from nowhere
