In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

Andrew Cuomo has the experiences and character to save the nation. He is an exceptional choice for mayor of New York, a city I’ve never stayed in for more than 45 minutes. I’m afraid to cross a street that has more than two lanes. I think the American Airlines chatbot is a real person who likes me

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

There is literally no argument against Zohran Mamdani that is anywhere in the same realm as serial sexual harassment of government employees and then hijacking $60 mil+ of taxpayer dollars to defend yourself and attack the people who tried to hold you accountable.

Over on Xitter, the MAGAt US Attorney announced charges against the man who stood up for his co-workers at WalMart. There's not a shred of evidence to substantiate this charge. EVEN Essayli's video makes it quite clear ICE tackled the guy before he did anything.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

It’s extremely telling that oligarchs are all “we love New York” and #NewYorkStrong until someone might make them pay one cent more in taxes and then they’re instantly like “this place is a shithole, we’re outta here”

Glad to see someone dig into this. When a reporter hears a government official utter a percentage change but not the underlying numbers, the bullshit detector should go off

Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Trump’s attempts to dehumanize large segments of the American people in order to use military force against them fits the classic definition of “tyranny,” and right wing rhetoric using the phrase “third world” to justify it is no accident (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by at least 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.
