I swear I hate Microsoft. First of all, they remove "Generic USB Audio" drivers from Windows 10, so things like the Real Tone Cable for my guitar breaks. Next, they delete my fking user profile while trying to hunt down drivers for it, which luckily was a symbolic link to the actual location

16 million Americans could lose their health care if the Big Ugly Bill passes. Mitch McConnell said they'll get over it. The person who loses someone they love, the mama whose baby loses care, the grandma who gets kicked out of her nursing home—they won’t just get over it.

I'm high risk. I went out earlier & got an Uber driver wearing a surgical mask. I thanked him for masking. He said he always does and has never gotten sick. I gave him my spare sealed 3M Auras & tipped extra. I think being reminded that some folks still care about others made both our days better.

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.

Please remember that Bill Clinton and South Carolina's Jim Clyburn endorsed Cuomo in the late stages of the campaign, that's how scared they were of Zohran.

Watch how they lie: "every administration does this." No, they don't. They don't violate law and cut congressional funding, in league with a bunch of corrupt politicians that look the other way.

If you've ever read Atlas Shrugged, you'd know exactly why not only Mamdani, but also his entire voter base, is the enemy. At the end of the book, the capitalists leave everyone to die without trying to saving them. That's what Republicans/Libs believe, that you're nothing without them. Fuck them.

You know damn well the ICE agents are not officers. They hide their faces because it’s a fraudulent scheme. They get no training on their jobs and are Proud Boys, J6ers, thugs, bullies, gangs. This is so illegal!!!

Zohran was authentic, values-driven, honest, genuine, sincere -- he took the campaign seriously but not himself seriously. His whole vibe was quintessential millennial leadership and it's what we're about to see wayyyyyy more of across the Democratic Party.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Ultimately, whoever wins the NYC Mayoral race, I just hope they establish a good working relationship with the Ghostbusters.

NYC voted for a socialist candidate. We are done with status quo Dems. We are not riding the fence anymore. Bring candidates who will offer us what we actually need and stop feeding us the sane centrist neocon shit that got us here.

Very frustrating watching people who will still go out of their way to disavow the idea of taking funding from policing react in disbelief when they, once again, see police operating like an occupying army.

But really, it should be troubling to people that the temperature of America is so fucked up that Cuomo was competitive.

My challenge to you is to talk about it (more). Talk about climate change. Talk about the importance of the scientific infrastructure in the US. Talk about the implications of these cuts on the economy, our health, public safety, the environment, and what this means for the next generation as well.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

The best part of the Mamdani win is that a bunch of octogenarian Democratic officials might finally be realizing that it's long past time they pass the torch.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
