You can't arrest people without warrants, you can't arrest people for asking to see a warrant and you can't bar reporters you don't like from City Hall press conferences This concludes today's lesson in Civics in The City

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

Would you look at that.

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

AOC says she’s joining Republican Rep. Massie in prohibiting 🇺🇸 involvement in Israel’s war with Iran

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

If New Yorkers are wondering who will fight back against Federal overreach, we have visible evidence today that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander are the candidates that you should rank 1 or 2 Lander literally resisted federal overreach and Mamdani showed up immediately to have his back Fuck Cuomo

Earlier today my friend texted me, “Trump just called for unconditional surrender” and I didn’t know if he was referring to Iran or New York City.

The suspect showed countless signs of political extremism. But they were within an extremist Christian context, and it's still not permissible to openly acknowledge that a lot of American Christians are every bit as backwards and extremist as, say, the Taliban. www.startribune.com/suspect-show...

Breaking News: Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, calling him a “visionary” leader.

I wonder if Australian governments or churches will ever run some ground-penetrating radar over their former missions, laundries & 'homes' for stolen children? I guess not.

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

Corn Man, Come together use your hands. Save me, Their tryin to eat me, it’s their plan. Save me, yeah Save, oh

the difference between today and 1860 is that instead of electing a Lincoln today, America opted to go with a pro-slavery John Breckenridge type. And as we face a mounting civil war, the occupant of the White House today is representing the Confederacy.

Look, this isn't complicated. Politicans who run on anti-intellectualism / anti-expertise inevitably fill their panels and advisory roles with lying grifters who will rubber stamp shitty pseudoscience in lieu of evidence-based practice. RFK Jr wants people who agree with him. Nothing else.

“Thick for clicks” is one of the most pernicious intellectual trends of our age

It’s no coincidence that there’s always a major catastrophe or crisis in the Middle East when the orange felon is in power which is even more proof that crime slumlord Jared Kushner’s fake Middle East peace mission was nothing more than a scheme to earn his $2B Saudi paycheck.

Look at these hippie [checks notes] Reagan appointees

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

I hope the good people of Utah fire him in 2028 - though he should resign now.

Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

Andrew Cuomo sexually abused more than a dozen women. If that alone is not enough to disqualify him from ever again holding elected office—if the conversation even continues past that—the speaker (outlet) is saying it's OK to sexually abuse women.

😅🤣

I don’t know how anyone with two licks of sense could have missed the global shitshow which was BREXIT, but the current President of the United States sure did. Oh. My. God.

democratic leaders are operating like the mike lee thing is just a slip up by one guy instead of how the entire movement thinks. im tired of it. this is who they are. theyve been like this for decades. whether its goldwater opposing civil rights, reagan attacking welfare recipients or wmds

The New York Times editorial board is so unserious.

OPINION: Travis County should reduce or withhold Tesla’s tax rebate for 2024 to restore accountability.

If you’re the senate majority leader and you’re not sure what to do, here’s a song to help you remember: Thune Thune Bo Bhune Banana Fanna Expel Mike Lee

The cover of the new edition of New York Magazine.

This is why I don’t use OMNY.

Every time this clown leaves the country he embarrasses us on the world stage.

“I asked Grok” “I asked ChatGPT” Well I asked the non-partisan CBO and they confirmed the GOP tax scam would hurt the finances of low-income Americans the most while giving benefits to the wealthiest among us.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Good lord.

Dear Squeaky Tank, Thank you for your service. 🫡

New in PN: What happened to "states' rights"? "Republicans are realizing the dystopian fantasy they daydreamed about not long ago. They act as if government exists only to advance their own interests, and they dismiss any law or court ruling that hinders their far-right agenda."

You tell them, Halifax longshoremen.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.
