Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

Howard University’s homecoming collided with conservative politics when the Turning Point USA-backed Blexit movement showed up uninvited as part of the organization’s tour of historically Black campuses.

The Department of Defense has accepted a $130 million donation from a "friend" of President Trump — but the agency refuses to say who it is

a century ago Black elites at least tacked rightwards for recognizably collective goals and interests - e.g. advancing nationalist politics with real material stakes for the masses involved, economic uplift agendas. Adams is doing all this for, what, frequent flyer miles?

One year ago tonight.

Warner Bros rejected Paramount's second bid to buy the company (via Deadline)

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

Tucker, GA has one thing to say, “NO KINGS IN AMERICA!” ❌👑

The antifa terrorist marxists are out

Protesters break out in “Lock Trump the fuck up” chants:

New York is not for sale.

A federal judge orders ICE & Federal agents must wear body cameras & they must be turn on. This is a good thing because it will help to identify the agents who hide their identity. The camera must be registered to the person who is wearing it. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Sega has announced a multi-year partnership to bring together Sonic and The Olympics

When your custom character appears in a cut scene

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

President Donald Trump believed the government shutdown would deliver Republicans a swift and decisive political victory. But with the stalemate now likely to spill into a second week, that calculation is looking increasingly shaky.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

Democrats are fighting to protect your healthcare. Donald Trump and Republicans have shut down the government because they want to take your healthcare away.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Stress-Free Eric Adams Spends Day Bribing Pigeons In Central Park

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Breaking news: The White House has withdrawn its nomination of E.J. Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The chief economist at the Heritage Foundation had criticized the agency and questioned the legitimacy of its data over the past year.

this guy has no idea what the american military is (the most sophisticated logistics operation ever assembled in human history)

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

easy way to nip this in the bud is for someone to invite farrakhan or dr. umar

A group of 100-plus former ABC News journalists has sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger urging him to make “a concerted effort to defend free speech and press freedom against political intimidation.”

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Congratulations to @teamsters.bsky.social Local 210 workers at Perrigo in the Bronx on your strong new contract. Workers shouldn't have to strike to win dignity and respect on the job — but sometimes that's what it takes.

Speaker Heastie recognizes what New Yorkers know: it’s not only popular but necessary to ask the wealthiest individuals and the most profitable corporations to pay a little more in taxes so we can deliver an agenda that lowers costs for working families.

these people are genuinely idiots

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

"The Times is unlikely to sacrifice its journalistic credibility because of a laughably tenuous lawsuit and a few mean social media posts. But if Trump wants to let the paper’s team of top-notch First Amendment lawyers depose Mark Burnett, who are we to complain?" — @lizdye.bsky.social

Glad the vice president of the United States, whose salary my taxes fund, is using his position to *checks notes* attack me on the Charlie Kirk show.
