RIP Dick Cheney, you would have loved to see the Senate refuse to vote on constraining presidential authority to wage war against fishing boats he doesn't like

Lol holy shit it's all so bad

BREAKING: Diane Ladd, a three-time Oscar nominee known for roles in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” and “Wild at Heart,” dies at 89, daughter Laura Dern announces.

The average recipient of federal food aid will see a massive 61% benefit cut this month — and millions will lose November benefits entirely — under the Trump administration’s plan to only partially fund SNAP as the government remains shut down.

Article raises many important points: We have no idea what technology the NYPD has at its disposal, Jessica Tisch’s entire career revolves around building the NYPD’s tech capacity, Zohran will now oversee an intelligence apparatus that rivals the feds

“Jessica Tisch got her start at the NYPD in the Kelly-era Intelligence Bureau building dossiers on Muslim extremism.” @awinston.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/welcom...

🔴 BREAKING: Israel Launches New Wave of Strikes Across Southern Lebanon The Israeli military has unleashed heavy airstrikes across various parts of...Lebanon in what Al Jazeera described as the most serious escalation since the ceasefire that ended the 2024 war with Hezbollah... More details: ⬇️ 🧵

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Lmao they're caving and gonna fuck up all the good work being done. Mike Johnson this morning said that Congress is here to do the Executive bidding! What more do they have to say for you to finally realize Congress is done. There's no Federal Government. It's Trump and nothing else.

Mamdani was unwilling to run PR for an apartheid state committing genocide, so Schumer refused to endorse him.

"strings attached" lol

The headlines from Chicago today are vile: '"Yo tengo papeles': Teacher detained by immigration agents in North Center day care" 1/ chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy Pelosi won't seek reelection, ending her storied career in the US House.

lol

LET HIM LEAVE

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"

“There's no ability to allow Palestinians to go back to any semblance of a dignified life” in Gaza, says Tareq Baconi, Palestinian analyst and writer. “The narrative is of a ceasefire. The reality is of the continuation of the genocide.”

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

This is the extreme case of access journalism where the new head of cbs and cbs news are both rabid zionists that 1 supplies $$ and tech to the IDF and 2 doles out propaganda for Israel and smears their critics.

prosecutors are cops

This is what the CBP agent who shot Miramar Martinez on October 4 texted the next day. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Asks, “Would a man genuinely injured, genuinely offended by having a sandwich thrown at him proudly, happily, joyfully” keep a plush sandwich on his shelf and a “Felony Footlong” patch on — yes! — his lunchbox?

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

You gotta almost hand it to the guy being like “yeah I was fully corrupt the whole time and I don’t have to pretend otherwise now. I did that shit”

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Thirdway has a memo out about how Mamdani's politics won't work in the rest of the country but they wrote it before he won and forgot to replace "X%" with his actual margin. lol.

"Others will take time in catching up to that." whew

Defeat isn't enough for Andrew Cuomo and his pack of lunatics: defector.com/defeat-isnt-...

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight led by an immigrant." - @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

A daycare. Every day in Chicago. The state is not stopping this. Pritzker’s and Johnson’s cops have ONLY been protecting these assaults so there is so far nothing that is stopping them besides unarmed residents screaming. How many children are technically orphans now @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

Just want to point out that this one little square (Employment-Based Immigration Law) is one of the most bureaucratically baroque and difficult things I've encountered in the law. Makes "closing on a real estate deal" look like napkin math.

“It’s becoming clearer to me that the government is attempting to lay a foundation for dissenting political beliefs as grounds for terrorism. And people like Ya’akub — non-white, non-Christian — have been made its primary examples.”

“The Big Apple has fallen,” Avigdor Liberman said through a spokesman. Itamar Ben-Gvir, called Mr. Mamdani “a Hamas supporter, an Israel hater and an outspoken antisemite.” Gilad Erdan suggested on social media that Israel needed merely to “rebrand ourselves in the United States.” Israelis react:

MEANWHILE: Bari Weiss' "anti-woke" University of Austin just announced a $100 million donation from Jeff Yass, the Pennsylvania billionaire who recently funded the Gov. Greg Abbott's school voucher push in Texas. UAustin says they will no longer charge tuition or accept government money.
