www.newyorker.com/news/our-loc... The Mamdani Era Begins

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Blue Tsunami. Lets hope Dem leadership doesn't F it up and take all the wrong lessons...

It’s almost like pretending that Democrats had the worst approval rating in history and simply ignoring this unmitigated dumpster fire was a bad strategy.

Damn.

I have a new mayor. A progressive mayor. A smart mayor. A compassionate mayor. It feels like a miracle, but it's not. Thank you everyone for voting and sending a message.

#SoftSecession Let's do this!!

This was something I want to believe. And why shouldn't I?

The real situation simply expressed.

Undocumented people aren't eligible for food stamps, yet I guarantee that if you arrived at their door hungry, they would share their food with you.

On this day in 1929, Amelia Earhart visited Salisbury, Maryland. Not that I want to think too much about what else happened in 1929 . . . to find out what she might have done in 1980, you can take a look at my book . . . #historicalfiction #booksky #magicrealism #writerscommunity

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the middle of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it’s Wednesday & @jamellebouie.net nails it again:

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Trump has dementia. Pass it along . ..

This! Fucking always this!

An MRI is not part of the usual physical I get every year. Nor is the cognitive test. So, yeah, he had a stroke. Or dementia. Or both. But hey, don't report on that please mainstream media.

On this day, Amelia Earhart spoke at her alma mater, Purdue, about what women might choose to do after college. Being a pilot was definitely on the table. What would she make of this world now? Order it at your favorite bookstore or library.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

AOC: There was a day before his presidency, and there will be a day after — and it belongs to us.

Well, if you've ever actually wondered what happened to Amelia Earhart, this is your chance to find out. Spoiler alert, she's alive and well and living in 1980. Order it at your local bookstore or library. . .. Surviving Amelia/Bedazzled Ink. #BedazzledInk #historicalfiction

NY AG James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social This isn’t about me. It’s about all of us. It’s about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge. My faith is strong. I have belief in the justice system and the rule of law.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

This book is out in the world again. Not that I know what to do about it. Still, I'm proud of it, despite two agents, and seven years and me selling it by myself in the end. Check it out and see if it's for you.

Yesterday was the beginning of the end. Or well, here's hoping. It was a beautiful day, nonetheless. #NoKings #NYC

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

We should all be doing this.

I need this guy to win so, so badly.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points. But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples? HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Well deserved!

It's been less than a week since Pearson announced his run for U.S. Congress, but the campaign is already garnering national attention and support from groups who want younger politicians in office. Read more about Pearson's campaign launch rally on Saturday: www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Honestly, I can't believe that I agree with anything this woman says. But hey, I'll take it.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

⚡️The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Maria Corina Machado. The Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded it for "her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela."

I'm old enough to remember when the National Guard were called out to help with storm-ravaged communities.

. . . despite Trump whining about it, and threatening them if they didn't give it to him, because they decided maybe they wouldn't give it to a sadist, rapist and convicted felon. There. Fixed it.

Clearly they figure they have the money. Or, as Alfred E Neuman loved to say, "What, me worry?"

Love this guy!
