I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.

Institutions/people who are so centrist/anti-left that they prefer Cuomo to Mandani are communicating a lot about their values.

NYT Ed Board said last year that they aren’t doing local endorsements anymore, but they couldn’t help themselves from writing a gross roundabout endorsement of Cuomo.

When the nyt endorsed cuomo for a 3rd term they were basically like "sure he sucks ass but new york must be saved from the horror of Cynthia Nixon also we are optimistic that he has finally learned to be a good governor"

Note the use of “REMIGRATION” in all caps This is a synonym of ethnic cleansing, in which disfavored ethnic groups (including naturalized and native born) are stripped of their rights and removed from the country against their will

andrew cuomo believes the way to get elected mayor in new york city is to terrorize jewish voters with his big scary muslim opponent (who is not at all scary). it's disgusting and offensive to muslims and jews and should cost him the race.

His latest diatribe confirms for me that his pathetic military parade was a massive fail. If it had been successful, he would have at least tried to have it lead on Monday cable news. Instead he is declaring war on blue cities. The military parade was a failure.

Let me make this crystal clear. I don't give a flying fuck about how they feel about Trump. Reporters routinely LIE in ways that benefit Trump. We need to get them to stop lying. Millions of people went to the marches, saying "thousands" or "hundreds of thousands" is a piece of shit lie.

Just learned that the Brandy "Cinderella" and "From Justin to Kelly" have the same director. Never would I have guessed that one of the GREATEST movies I have ever seen and one of the WORST movies I have ever seen would have had the same director.

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.” Don’t rank Cuomo.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

Just four hours ago, even after we’ve learned the shooter was as an anti-abortionist Trump supporter, a sitting U.S. Senator is spreading fake conspiracy theories blaming the murder of a Democratic lawmaker on Democrats. Not only that, he’s pinned the post! Abominably evil stuff from Mike Lee.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Brennan is just wrong here. Lazy journalism based on assumptions, old data, and misinformation. Shows you how much damage certain high-profile pundits can do to the information environment. It’s very easy to just look at all the data, like we do: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/all-the-po...
