"What happened to the old New York, where creepy freaks could make an honest living running manosphere blogs that advertise virility pills in between slightly racist hot takes on sports?"

Michael Rappaport turned his back on the Knicks just as they were resurrecting to root for the Nets in their death spiral. He also was vehemently anti-Zohran Mamdani. He is not a man whose perspective should ever be considered.

Can we collectively give our ankles to Mitchell Robinson? He so so so so good, but so limited by his ankles' unwillingness to cooperate in his greatness.

When Ezra and MattY have stronger political instincts than you

If nothing else, the Dems capitulating after historic victories in the elections was a great way to murder the energy and morale of their voter base. So, yay.

Beyond policy considerations and electoral politics, Tuesday provided a lot of people with a brief spark of hope that maybe our democracy is not already dead, and Democrats immediately capitulating to anti-democracy forces for no discernible benefit is a great way to extinguish that spark.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

Sheehan is fucking disgusting and deserves to never experience a second of restful sleep the rest of her life.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Big “I didn’t realize in a fight that they could hit back” energy. Bunch of scabs. Crossed the picket line because this was hard. All it took was Duffy mandating reductions in flights by 10% every week.

Hearing these Surrender Dems lie so blatantly to us and act like we're stupid is so infuriating.

When MattY has better political instincts than you

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

Gather a pack of wine moms from northern virginia and unleash them on the capitol right now.

More than primary, we need to force every Dem Senator to have to fly economy from now on. That will hurt them more than any threat to their livelihood.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Fight don’t fold.

watching my Obamacare premiums go from $422/month to $1455/month on the Senate floor right now.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

This is like if we were in a war and you jumped on a grenade to save the enemy.

Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Anakin / Padme "Right?" meme coming when the Democrats ask Mike Johnson, now that the government is open, if he will swear Adelita Grijalva in

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

The Dems voting to cave that are retiring exemplify the moral and ideological vacuum that is centrism. It starts from a point of there being no actual POV, just a muddled middle of the views of others. The only goal is to not rock the boat.

I need photoshops of chuck schumer as a lawn chair because he always folds

mitchell robinson was a +40 tonight against the nets while playing ~16.5 minutes. that is the largest single-game plus-minus (+40) of any nba player on record* to log UNDER 17 minutes. (*since 1996, per @stathead.com)

Primary them all. Mercilessly. Relentlessly. They've got to go.

It has been truly heartening to see so many Dems standing up and saying this surrender is wrong. As angry as I am at leadership for their capitulation, seeing the rest of the party so loudly and strongly rally against it gives me hope.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

This man needs to rally the caucus to out Schumer from leadership

Most of the Dems caving are retiring. How can you betray your constituents and your caucus when you have nothing to lose? It's choosing betrayal for the sake of it.

Novak is awesome. I never want to hear Wally call a game again

Knicks are gonna have five guys score 20 this game

If Mitchell Robinson's body wasn't consistently betraying him, he'd be a perennial all-star

Remember when OG was upset in Toronto because he wanted more of a role on offense and people laughed at him? He was right.

OG and Bridges all-pro campaign starting now. #KnicksSky

Chris Murphy has been a fighter, he needs to take the next step an move to remove Schumer from leadership

The silver lining of this capitulation is it seems the majority of Dems, even in the Senate, seem to have gotten the memo to fight back. The problem is leadership and their allies.

RIP Lenny

Let's be honest, Dems are caving because they're scared of disrupting people's holidays, except disrupting people's holidays as they blame the GOP is good politics. It'll also mean all the suffering people have gone through in this shit down will be for nothing.

Democrats need to act with confidence. This last Tuesday should have told them all they need to know about where this country stands and just how flimsy the Republican claim on power really is.

It's important people realize just how week the GOP is. It's scary because all the checks and balances at the top have failed (congress, SCOTUS, our elite institutions). But they haven't built anything, their coalition is hanging by a thread, and the lower courts and people are rejecting them.

Morant for Zion straight up swap. Who says no?

The jets managed to win today, but they might set a record for least interceptions in a season

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

Praise Chris Banjo. Ok, so we've got a special teams. Now we only need an offense and a defense.
