Behind the preserved historical facades, the ultra-rich are buying up adjacent townhomes in the West Village and Upper East Side, combining them into a megamansion. It's part of a broader trend of small multifamily buildings being turned into single-family homes. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Already close to my out of pocket max on my health insurance for the year so feels like now I gotta do my patriotic duty as an American and think up outlandish ways to consume as much healthcare as possible before December 31.

This really feels like an Orban/Erdogan situation in which the aspiring dictator is making sure his friendly oligarchs control as much media as possible www.cnbc.com/2026/02/26/w...

The Paramount/WB merger is a consequence of government corruption and everybody involved should be prosecuted and the eye-popping fines should be clawed back from shareholders

every day a new humiliation

I can’t believe this is real

fucking stockholm syndrome to listen to this and be like "yep nothing i can do but just sit here and take it"

john arbuckles lasagna dinner has the potential to be a great date night meal—if garfield doesnt get in his way

Also this wouldn't have been a problem if Schumer had recruited literally any of the like 12 normal liberal Dems who are running for Governor and aren't anti-union cryptkeepers.

Whatever you do, don’t publicly boo the horrible man who increasing majorities and pluralities of key voting groups hate, thus showing u in direct opposition to the extremely unpopular hated man

This is the singular legacy of the Biden administration, the failing that preceeded all subsequent failings. What good there was (and there was real tangible good!) will have to be excavated from a legacy of failing while in power to punish the plotters and beneficiares of an attempted coup.

I'm gonna become the fucking joker

Not ready to embrace Massie, but it's telling we see more backbone when it comes to standing against Trump from the radical end of the GOP than from the moderates.

tyranny. the most powerful enemies of our first amendment free speech rights in our nation's history.

Any car that hasn't moved in the period between the last storm ending and the next storm beginning should immediately be towed, stripped of hazardous materials, and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean to become artificial reefs like they do with old subway cars.

Everything else aside (which is always a heavy lift), it’s incredible how Trump can just spend gobs of money on things that have no apparent point while the Supreme Court couldn’t act fast enough when Biden wanted to forgive some student loans.

You know this is a completely deliberate choice that is not required, because there was JUST another shutdown and they didn’t do it then. Anyway, not good that the admin is deliberately making air travel more annoying to try to win a political fight. Lot of people will miss flights.

ah, I almost forgot how bad it is to work on an entire article only to have Donald Trump completely change the tariff rates just as I finish

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

i hate to be the “both sides” guy about trump’s incoherency but please don’t forget that aoc said “uh”

full of contempt for the "reporters" who sit there and laugh at trump's "jokes"

I cant believe the guy that always doubles down after losing no matter how disastrous a decision that is is out here doubling down after losing. This is so unlike him.

I will give $1000 to anyone in that room who will yell out "what the fuck are you rambling about, old man?"

I cant believe ppl clowned themselves this morning by acting like Trump wouldnt immediately try to do something like this and thus the SCOTUS decision would be a "win" for him

what if it happens on live TV

Instead of improving safety, the lower speed limit undermines a century-old cycling tradition, misapplies state law and sets a troubling precedent for recreational cycling in New York City.

I feel almost nauseous criticizing a @katiehonan.bsky.social piece, but this honestly needs to be edited to add information about the subsidy so readers aren’t coming away thinking that this person’s claim is accurate in any way

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

I think this @bardcollege.bsky.social Board of Trustees email reads like they're trying to ride this out until people forget about it. A friend who's a lawyer and also an alumnus is more inclined to think the specific firm hired signals it's the prelude to ousting Leon. Sure hope he's right.

So here's a hardened criminal in Minnesota who was about to go away for good and he went free ... because Trump and the MAGA degenerates are so focused on shooting protesters and assaulting law-abiding grandmas. apnews.com/article/minn...

many people are saying, he's lying like a hit dog, I definitely know what a dog is folks, 👐

Moral panic around e-bikes is getting out of control. The assemblywoman proposing this bill is quoted in the article saying she has concerns abt people riding "30,40, even 60 mph" -- those are not e-bikes! Those are e-motos! www.cbs8.com/article/news...

It's going to be genuinely difficult to figure out how much money he and his family literally just took from US taxpayers. Don't even mean the crypto scam profiteering shit, like actual treasury money that by one mechanism or another he turned into his own money.

The goons manning the camps are also initially queasy about shooting the prisoners in the head or shoving them into a gas chamber. To get from concentration camps to death camps you have to ease the goons up a brutality ladder that starts with more indirect reasons for the prisoners dying.

so genuinely: uh, what was Merrick Garland doing with the Epstein files, given uh, it's brought down a royal and multiple Euro politicians/

The New York Times when AOC said “um”: “Stumbles,” “Shaky Moments” The New York Times when Trump didn’t know the names of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan as he talked about them in his office: Peace King Makes Major Announcement

Media & Political Elites scolded US that if we held Elites accountable for crimes against US it would undermine faith in rule-of-law, because Republicans commit more crimes, so it would seem unfair to Republican voters. But, not holding Elites accountable has destroyed even pretense of rule-of-law.

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

the bribery king gets less pushback than AOC for saying 'um'

Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times, he is shredding the first amendment, he is brazenly corrupt, he is opening concentration camps in their districts, and he is starting an unprovoked war with Iran. WHY WOULD YOU NOT DISRUPT THE STATE OF THE UNION. The whole D leadership needs to go.

When Joe Biden told Trump welcome home it was a fucking betrayal. A betrayal of his campaign and of core American values. But we’re supposed to shut up about it cause it makes you feel bad? GTFO

I know Trump is fascist racist piece of shit. Is it so wrong to demand better from the man I voted into the presidency specifically because I believed his job was to confront fascism and instead he rolled out the red carpet for the fascist?

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
