"What doesn’t make any of these stories is that the Parliamentarian’s serial rejection of one after another policy in the Big Ugly came as a result of a lot of work from Democratic staffers who successfully argued that the provisions were extraneous to the bill."

Katelyn Burns very smartly pointing out the way mainstream media began by silencing all the mainstream trans writers, then moved on to claiming trans people stopped trying to persuade the public.

The LLM tech bros all talk about “frontier models” and it strikes me that this use of settler colonialist language is surprisingly appropriate. They’re enclosing the commons of our knowledge and our culture. They’re putting up barbed wire, so they can make us pay rent for everything.

Boy, the last line here does not fill me with confidence.

Beyond the greasiness of buying the election, Ackman once again repeats the trope that NYC is “becoming more violent” while NYC right now has the lowest murder and violent crime rate in *recorded history*. You can’t overstate how deranged these people are, genuinely living in an *imaginary world*.

As a former stand-up, I am just boggled at the quality and volume of material Johnson is putting out on current events. I’m watching whole one hour shows that are completely different, topical, and maybe a month apart. He’s playing a whole different game.

Sincere question. Democrats have been lighting up Trump officials in hearings, many of which, not all, are yearly appropriations hearings. it's really fun to watch, mostly. Why aren't you seeing that? What would it take you to do so? To make it go viral?

Got a call from the wife of a cooperating witness in a case I prosecuted in the 90s. I’ve written a letter for him on occasion because he was a stand up guy who did a good job under duress. ICE just picked him up. He’s been in the country like 35 years.

People should stay the fuck off Elon's Nazi bar. But if you don't have this good judgment, I can't tell you how much fun I've had asking Islamophobes how they feel about Adams and Trump taking bribes from Muslim nations, how much fun I've had noting that Melania & Ivana came to NYC and had kids.

This is also exactly how reform prosecutors are covered. Their wins are treated as strange aberrations, if covered at all. Their defeats are treated as nature healing, and each local defeat is Proof of the (Inevitable … Right? Right?!) Death of Reform Nationwide. It’s exhausting.

Wrote about this crazy deal in which Donald Trump was literally written by name into US Steel's incorporation docs, giving him unprecedented *personal* control over the company. It's not socialism or nationalization. It's Trumpilization...

I would like to once again remind all suburbanites, Republicans, and all those outside the tri-state area that the NYC you see on Fox News is no more real than, like, Narnia, or Atlantis.

I have a neat craft idea for all those glossy Cuomo mailers. I think using a bit of resin one could make a fashionable paper mache trash can, they are very thick with high quality color printing so it'd probably even be waterproof. Dang I should have saved them.

I would be genuinely happy if the only, the *only* lesson the Dem establishment took from this was “yeet all dynasty candidates and everything/everyone associated with the Clinton Era into the sun”.

If “affordable housing, decent insurance, not bullying minorities, and rich people actually having to pay taxes” are called socialism for forty years now, guess what you just did?
