NY Post editors are, to use their phrase, freaking out. "Slugfest turns into a lovefest"

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

Amused at conservative outlets who spent the past five months dragging Mayor-elect Mamdani to hell and back with the most vicious, hateful propaganda but had to watch agog as Trump heaped praise on him in the Oval Office. That's some funny shit right there.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Now the challenge of getting DOJ/DHS to lay out the costs of first doing a SWAT style arrest, getting no-billed, then an expensive trial to acquit the sandwich guy. Plus the 52 lunches for grand jurors (tho the courthouse paid for that, while people work for free in shutdown).

Nice! This trial has inspired great creativity…

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
