New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

Epstein, knew Trump would kill him. Which he did.

Heck yes, all rise for the judge: The 1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge." (And Paul Revere & The Raiders.)

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

The rich did not like the budget. So are we going to have months of the right wing media lead by The Mail, Telegraph and #BBCLaurak attacking it?

I worked for several years at a company that had a box at a local arena and I went to see a lot of shows there; Cher, Elton John, Dua Lipa, and someone I’ve always idolized; Stevie Nicks. She did a great show and talked quite a bit. But there was one thing that troubled me. She told a lengthy 1/

This year I learned all about Lindisfarne Island via 28 Years Later, the movie. For my money the best picture of 2025. And there’s a sequel coming in January. Cc @12bbytheseaside.bsky.social @tutty352.bsky.social

Stunned. What WERE the chances?

Incidentally Open AI only had this guy on his board because they're expecting the AI business to implode and they want government bailouts when it does.

Hard to believe that this species once roamed the tundra, the desert and the jungle, felling mighty beasts with intelligence, teamwork and guile. Now it has to look at me like this in the desperate hope of some cheese. Mind you. She did get the cheese. #DogsOfBluesky

No Lies Detected, Ms. Welch......

Just for absolute clarity, the government’s proscription of Palestine Action is a self-evident farce, deeply unethical and morally bankrupt. It is an unforgivable waste of time and resources, and makes them look both deeply unserious and as ideologically compromised as they clearly are.

There is now a federal law requiring their release and we all know the criminal regime is going to do some combination of destroying the files, redacting them, and otherwise violating that law in every manner they can. Interesting to learn that Qanon was basically right all along.

Legal disclaimer: this is a joke. There’s no evidence that the FBI director has been honeypotted by Mossad simply because his girlfriend works for Prager U, whose CEO is ‘former’ Unit 8200 Israeli intelligence.

Interesting piece from @tombaldwin66.bsky.social about super advisers in general and The Irishman in particular. But the conclusion leaves me far from convinced that muzzling Morgan is going to benefit Starmer who has serious difficulties connecting with the public.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela. If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Thanks for reading, Mr. President

Who could have imagined an indigenous Afghan attached to a unit striking and kidnapping his countrymen, night after night with the green berets and CIA would be traumatized so much they could turn violent.

Once you see through all this stuff you just can’t stop seeing through it.

I’d be curious as to what the New World magazines editorial stance on Zelensky is right now. Even the Kyiv Independent is tearing into this. Gonna have to pick a side soon here. James Ball and Alastair Campbell need to get Tony’s thoughts. @jamesrball.com

Like last time he was at the White House somebody could have just hipped him to the fact all his direct reports are crooks and that it’s gonna come out and gonna be embarrassing. Why didn’t that happen?

You know it’s really bad luck that tv comedian turned oligarch Zelensky found himself surrounded by a bunch of corrupt crooks while he himself is completely uninvolved and in the dark what they’re up to. Even with the SBU and CIA and FBI looking over everyone’s shoulders nobody warned him.

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS! wtop.com/dc/2025/11/d...
