Really? So now Kirk's murder is an "anti-Christian hate crime"? 350,000 churches in the US alone. Christians are hardly fucking oppressed. You want to see an "anti-Christian hate crime"? This is a fucking anti-Christian hate crime:

Wild that even in Indiana the GOP finally found a line they couldnât cross. If your gerrymander is so extreme that a Republican Senate says âabsolutely not,â you know you cooked it. Democracy wins today.

Every dot on this map is a New Yorker who chipped in for the Transition to make sure we can hit the ground running on Day 1. $3 million raised from all five boroughs. $1 million to go. Thank you for powering this transition. Let's cross that finish line together.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

When a politician puts a criminal back on the street - and they commit new crimes, that is usually headline news in our "law and order" press. But pardoned J6 defendants commiting multiple crimes doesn't even merit a line on the front page of the NY Times.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Per reporting today, Letitia James wrote (in caps): âNOT MY PRIMARY RESIDENCEâ in several places on the mortgage application for her nieceâs house AND on the check. The guy that commits actual crimes needs to make shit up to avoid accountability for himself.

Polls only tell part of the story. After all, Zohran and the half a million New Yorkers surprised the polls before. To make sure there isn't an upset and Zohran wins, we need to recapture the same grassroots energy that beat Cuomo before. It's time to lock in and DREAM.

It's official: Donald Trump and the billionaires are buying the election for evil Andrew Cuomo. To beat them once again, we need to recapture the grassroots energy from the primary. Which is why we're evolving to our fifth (and final) form: Don't Risk Evil Andrew for Mayor.

I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.

About 2.5% of wealthy US taxpayers move every year to other tax jurisdictions vs about 5% of low-income taxpayers, said Cornell prof Cristobal Young. For many high earners the stakes of moving are too high.
