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.

Hey, who would have guessed simple messaging of popular things would win you an election. You don’t need an army of consultants to win an election, please other Dems take note

Didn’t you rule that the President is above the law? Why in gods name should anyone ever listen to your whining scolding again Mr. Roberts?

The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously. Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen?? youtu.be/4xgayuaun2U?...

If Ukraine did attack Putin's home, US Intelligence would have confirmed it to back up Trump, who indicated that he believed Putin. The fact that they have not confirmed it means that Putin is lying & Trump is backing up Putin's lie as a pretext to end all peace negotiations.

Hey look: mainstream Dems being outflanked on economic outrage by MTG

Trump and his vicious mouth breathing goons have forever damaged American soft power. We are less safe, and the world is less safe.

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

Earlier this year, Republicans tried to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities in their 2026 budget, while proposing a 13% increase in defense spending. The Institute of Museum and Library Services just got their funding back through courts.

It’s genuinely tiring

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him. Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...

He genuinely thinks he’s going to be President forever

This is NEVER reported on by journalists. They don’t touch it. Why? I still don’t know

Either he’s more stupid than a rock or he’s a traitor to our nation.

I’m genuinely embarrassed to be American now. It’s pathetic we don’t have high speed rail yet

This should be the actual story. A real headline would read “Billionaires’ talk of leaving California, likely empty threats”

It’s kinda a meme online that parking lots have incredible views and I suspect it might just be a factor of parking lots being one of the few places we frequent that has an unobstructed view of the 5 degrees of sky above the horizon.

One of the most wrong things I’ve ever read

This is wildly ignorant. If we are looking to Rome (I don’t say we do) even there the example of citizenship as an issue shows that the citizenship can be extended beyond just Rome itself, and be given to the Italians.

Merry Christmas to all, including the rancid deplorable Republicans who are doing their best to tear up the Constitution & betray Americans to oligarchs and Russia. We now have rampant corruption in the Oval Office, a president who allegedly rapes young girls, & spineless congressional republicans.

This is a straight forward case of an attack on the first amendment. This is literally the President saying that he will prohibit free speech because of politics. Anyone supporting this man is anti-American and a traitor to the constitution.

Trump is banning fact-checkers--yes, those people who do the research to learn the truth--from entering the USA. When Trump says he supports free speech, what he means is supports his right to lie. Those who tell the truth are therefore his natural enemies.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

I find it difficult to understand the worship of Trump, an obviously vile, dull, hateful person. Czar Alexander II was at least a good father and though kind of pathetic and a bit very bright, he had a semblance of a moral, family man.

What is fucking wrong with him

he may as well be licking his lips

When Trump rants about "free speech," what he really means is that he wants to censor anyone who points out his lies. European (and others) who publish factual information about hate groups to counteract their propaganda are being banned from entering the USA. In the US, he is attacking news orgs.

President Trumps told everyone he never flew on Epstein’s plane, and turns out not only did he, but he did “many more times” than previously believed.

Are the evangelicals okay? Who hurt you?

Bari Weiss killed CBS News in 76 days open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

Yes!

Things you can't have in the United States anymore: State of the art drones. State of the art electric cars Inexpensive state of the art mobile phones. Cheaper Affordable Care Act healthcare New mRNA vaccines that might prevent cancers Ability to be in public without papers Academic Freedom DEI

There need to be prosecutions for this. The President should be impeached and removed for ongoing and flagrant violations of individual rights.

Trump has been fleecing Americans, especially poor, old and rural Americans, and even if they’re not outraged by it, I am on their behalf. It’s disgusting that he does this.

what actor’s facial expression in a movie/tv show will stay with you forever

Right now there are literally 4 route 49 south bound buses bunched at Roosevelt and Western. Does the CTA have a policy for bunching? Is there a desire to fix it? Also curious if other systems have the same problem to the degree we have it. Maybe it’s a factor of stops so close together?

This imagery evokes the truth that Trump is just stealing American’s hard-earned money.

“It’s a threat to national security when the music in this restaurant is too loud” “It’s a threat to national security when the barista doesn’t say ‘good morning’” when I walk in”

Every journalist should be making this clear when reporting Duffy’s dangerous and illegal threats.

The 60 Minutes correspondent who worked on the segment alleged in an internal email that pulling it from airing was “not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment. The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

Rewatching 12 Angry Men and it’s incredible how little has changed in America. The bigoted tirade of juror 10 near the end is essentially a Trump speech: saying violence is inherent to a group of people and then in the same breath saying that “I’m the first one to say” some of them are good people.

💖

Earnestness makes things good, even when it’s supposed to be a little whimsical.

It’s absolutely infuriating that Trump will “declare” the days around Christmas federal holidays, and all the media will cover it uncritically. The reality is, he’s not creating new federal holidays, he’s giving federal workers time off per his existing authority, and Biden did the same thing!

"Researchers found that withdrawing support for rapidly advancing mRNA vaccine technology could result in over 49,000 preventable deaths annually among patients diagnosed with four major cancers..." Pro-death administration.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Felon autocrat Trump and his buddies are engineering state-run media, turning the U.S. into the next North Korea or Russia. CBS should be ashamed for making themselves complicit in this destruction of democracy.
