What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Given how often he posts about this, it seems less like reassurance for others and more like he’s trying to convince himself that he passed the cognitive exam.

Mamdani: "I cannot blame anyone who has come to question the role of government, whose faith in democracy has been eroded by decades of apathy. We will restore that trust by walking a different path ... "

Some health experts are saying that *it* could happen in the March to May timeframe. I hope it's the Ides of March, so I can say "Et tu, Tupée."

In case you thought they just meant undocumented immigrants…

Holy shit it's real

i am rooting as much as is appropriate for mamdani to be an effective mayor because if he manages it, he will be an important model and national leader for american progressives — one part fiorello la guardia, one part robert la folette

Off to a good start

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Fact check: true

Fair warning: If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow. My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history. We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?” What could possibly go wrong! (2/6)

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

The guy overdoses on aspirin and eats the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat for a small elephant in one sitting. No wonder he’s swollen and can’t stay awake.

New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

This AFTER remains of a 30 ft boat washed ashore, with burned bodies inside & packages (small) of what residue tests establish was nothing more than Marijuana; which is legal for recreational use in several states. It's just murder. apnews.com/article/boat...

Hang tough, Colorado!! 💪

Mamdani: "The cost of childcare will no longer discourage young adults from starting a family, because we will deliver universal childcare for the many by taxing the wealthiest few"

AOC: Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century. He will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. Most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us .

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Every normal politician is posting new years wishes of positivity and happiness, while Trumps little bruised fingers are frantically pumping out messages calling people scum and saying he hopes they die. Such a nice man, said no one.

Mamdani: I promise you this. If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn alongside you, and never, not for a second, hide from you

Bernie Sanders publicly swears in Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor

AOC: My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. and it is my deep honor and privilege to welcome you to the inauguration of our new mayor of New York City. Zohran Kwame Mamdani

#SussexSquad "Media narratives often describe the Princess of Wales as the most popular royal in Britain. If that claim held, a flagship Christmas broadcast should have reflected it. The numbers did not."

Happy New Year. We’re going to win.

We already know 2026 will be arduous, at best. So, I'm signing off for 2025 w/ something joyful. Paul McCartney & Wings' "With a Little Luck". Macca is in full yacht rock mode and video is peak Seventies goofiness. 'Night, all. xoxo www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k_4...

BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.

Bringing in the New Year crying tears of happiness—and I don’t even live in NYC anymore, lmao. This is a good thing:

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is officially mayor of New York City

I'm gonna make sure I put some muscle into slamming the door on 2025 so the door hits it in the ass. 2026, here we come.

Here’s to 2026 friends!! 🥂 2025 can fuck all the way off. Onward.

The original sin was failing to send trump to prison for the rest of his life," for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020. He should have been charged and jailed, period.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

“Did you believe you had sufficient evidence to obtain and sustain a conviction against Donald Trump for interference with the lawful transfer of power?” JACK SMITH: “Yes.”

And @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty tried to give themselves millions of dollars for receiving these calls🤔

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear: If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison. And he should be.

Jack Smith just told Congress what we all know: Trump’s Jan 6 didn’t just happen...he CAUSED it. “Most culpable,” Smith said. Not spin...FACT. (AP NEWS)

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

The more you know…

Had missed this at the time it was announced but Lyn-Manuel Miranda canceled planned 8 week engagement of Hamilton at the Kennedy Center. There are now at least 11 artists who have canceled. www.npr.org/2025/03/06/n...

In a duo of posts, Trump misspells Tim Walz's name and Tina Peters's and says that Colorado officials (including the governor, who he calls a "scumbag") should "rot in hell"

Auld Lang Syne ~ Davy Jones ❤️

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
