shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

peak NYPD scandal

Absolutely insane

to what degree is Bibi's war here designed to prevent the Trump-Iran talks from reaching a deal

You should follow my colleague @nicolegrajewski.bsky.social, who specializes in Iran and works with Farsi language sources.

this is the really scary stuff -- Israel is, in the most generous accounting, pushing well past previous lines of limited military operations

The solution to all of this is a large party and para party organization that pays well and lets people just park and keep working for the party in the out years. Instead we have this horrible constellation.

Errol Louis the only person to try to land a punch of Cuomo for his record on housing people got their hits in early, which is good, but can we hit him for his governing record? don't let him get away with pretending he is good at leading a bureaucracy, his record is terrible!

the victory that yimby ideology has achieved with leftists and liberals** is a real tribute to the idea that sometimes you just win by having better ideas and convincing people because your ideas are better **outside California at least

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

Listened to this, this morning. I think having coaches who will just coach the team you give them is tremendously valuable, and if they can coach their way out of your recruitment mishaps, even better!

see the latest @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social for our takes on Frank and Tottenham open.spotify.com/episode/2noG...

quite excited to see Thomas Frank at Spurs because I don't think anyone can reasonably be sure (a) how he'll play, or (b) whether he'll do well or not. That feels a rare combination (for a manager we are all very familiar with)

oh so now you think it’s okay for a man to interrupt a woman at her job?

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

I feel confident that my NYC mayoral primary ballot will include these five candidates Adams, Lander, Mamdani, Myrie, Stringer I am going to wait until election day to see what the implications of any specific ranking will be, multi-way primaries can move very quickly and unexpectedly

I think California needs to start arresting Feds. drastic but we’re there.

Nicole Malliotakis' district, which flipped hard to the right in 2024, is roughly 20% Asian and 18% Hispanic this is New York City ground zero for Trump's new multi-racial 2024 coalition and it appears his immigration gestapo policies aren't going over great

We are Fox News word salad-ing our way across all sorts of bold red lines

not only that, the final gap was 7000 votes, but far more than 7000 voters who didn't want Eric Adams to be mayor failed to rank Kathryn Garcia on their ballots and that's why Adams won don't make that error again! rank all the anti-Cuomo candidates!

Moronic question bc the military is supposed to have plans for everything! There was a plan cooked up to invade Canada if it came to that in WWII.

pretty simple stuff here but good it's clearly getting traction with Democrats just because the immigration space is bad for Democrats broadly doesn't mean that Trump instituting brand-new, highly visible, crazy, cruel and chaotic immigration policies is something voters like

The easiest answer is just rank the 5 people who have the best chance of beating Cuomo, so some order of Mamdani, Lander, A. Adams, Myrie and Stringer.

@jhweissmann.bsky.social should post this here and also, co-sign. (Also swap out Lander for Adams, or Lander for Stringer, or what-have-you). Total abandonment of a civic responsibility to the place it calls home.

nobody lives forever but you write God Only Knows and you live forever

lol the central valley mafia got to him

Dems getting a bit more comfortable with attacking the cruelty and chaos of the deportations
