Still amazes me that every time Facebook rolls out its latest turd of a product, Zuckerberg announces it personally. "When people see me in these glasses, they'll totally want to buy them, because I'm so cool and universally beloved!" No one in his employ will tell him the truth.

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.” Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”? Or do they just sorta do it?

The East Wing has learned its lesson. by Susan Collins

the new york times is the problem

There should be zero tolerance for law enforcement officers lying. You lie: you lose your job. Because allowing mendacity means the "law" doesn't mean anything but the brute force of oft-corrupt law enforcement officers. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/10/22/f...

Shocked not shocked

I’m not sure that the Democrat’s “Comms and Strategy” class in DC have really thought through what it says about them and their leaders if Zohran wipes this election without an ounce of their help. They seem to think being quiet is smart now, but wouldn’t it just illustrate how useless they are?

It should be career-ending for the House minority leader being unwilling to endorse the (wildly popular) Democratic nominee for New York City mayor.

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

NEW: I found 17 sheriffs in Illinois that have contracts to detain people for ICE through U.S. Marshals Service contracts. IL law explicitly prohibits these types of intergovernmental service agreements. news.wttw.com/2025/10/22/d...

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

They know their customers don't have a choice. People can't easily stop using Apple products. Or Microsoft Office. Or Amazon. We live in an oligopoly. Eventually, all these gigantic companies need to be broken up. Their concentration of so much power is literally a threat to the Republic.

translation: they voted for the brown people's faces to be eaten by leopards and are very mad there's a leopard at the front door right now

My experience too. Left a year ago, zero regrets. (Haven't posted there since that time.)

Cuomo was honestly rattled when Mamdani told him that Charlotte Bennett was in the room tonight, and asked him to defend his horrific treatment of her and the other dozen women he sexually harassed. His body language told the whole story. An abuser, a bully, and coward.

Fellow Americans! I’m happy to announce that, thanks to you, I’m sending $100,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union (@aclu.org) to help them defend something that truly Makes America Great: our civil liberties. 🧵

This thread lists donors who are buying access to Trump by helping him demolish the East Wing of the White House to build his monstrous monument to himself. #BoycottsArePatriotic

If you commit crimes against humanity, international airports and airspace can be tricky things to navigate. Just ask Rodrigo Duterte in his jail cell in The Hague.

Here’s the thing: none of it actually matters to them and they’ll have different grievances next week. You can’t gotcha them

In light of the Maine vetting fiasco, one pro tip I'll once again share for anyone considering a run for office: Start at the bottom. Homeowners Association. School Board. City Council. Make your mistakes *there.* Learn politics *there.* So when you run for the U.S. Senate, there are no surprises.

Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

The repeated lying is noted, in a begrudging nonconfrontational way, but it doesn’t stop the piece from wholly relying on what these bald-faced liars are saying now.

This little item by Luke Broadwater on the abrupt, wholly unannounced destruction of a major component of the White House complex is a microcosm of the dysfunctional relationship the press has with this mendacious administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

you can’t really call this anything other than cowardice

I’m grateful that Zohran Mamdani speaks up for women who have been subjected to sexual harassment on the job, punished for reporting it through invasive litigation tactics, and silenced through defamation lawsuits.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has subpoenaed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and other senior DOJ officials to testify at the hearing on his mostion to dismiss the indictment for vindictive prosecution. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

trump is demolishing the white house and most democrats seem to only have the bandwidth to talk health care.

I think the destruction of the White House East Wing resonates because it is so viscerally permanent. But the ongoing destruction of Constitutional order and international law is no less permanent. There is no repair. We must build anew.

the destruction of the white house makes me irrationally angry. and its even worse that the people who are supposed to be representing my anger, the democrats, dont say shit.

Re: Cuomo's reply, does "serious and mature" mean you have to accept being sexual harassed or you have to commit sexual harassment? Cuomo is such a POS. I can't believe anyone is supporting him for any reason at all.

UN experts say US strikes against Venezuela in international waters amount to 'extrajudicial executions' In other words, murder. No evidence collected, no judge, no jury, just execution.

well that just about said it all

"Giving it to charity" -- but not the Trump Foundation charity, which was dissolved under court order after he “repeatedly used Foundation money for his own personal, business, and political interests.” ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

I remember going to San Francisco for the first time during my MFA days in Spokane back in the early 90s. Stayed in very cheap hotel in Chinatown (with a dirty magazine in the bedside drawer instead of a Gideon bible) just so I could visit City Lights on a daily basis. Those were good times.

Quite a mistake to confuse Metro-North and the subway system. Wonder how an error like that could end up in a mayoral policy paper.

A town in the Bay Area is poised to become the first jurisdiction in Northern California — and just the third statewide — to ban the sale of all tobacco and nicotine products.

has anyone pointed out to the local contractors demolishing the warehouse he's 1000% going to stiff them on the bill

[Screams into the void]

The destruction of the White House is such an ungodly abomination that, of course, the New York Jets are involved.

A giant ballroom is such an insane idea. Like what is this even for, selling time shares?

Federal agents heading to San Francisco — an attempt by Trump to invoke chaos, Newsom says

Exactly. What is with the silence?

Not sure having your brand associated with destroying the White House is the best look

@nytimes.com expands its antitruth campaign

All of the Clinton-era conservative pearl clutching about the sanctity of the White House and the Democrats’ disrespect seems like it’s from another world now. There was a whole scandal because Al Gore made fundraising calls from inside the building. They investigated the Clintons’ cat!

Trump waves around renderings of his new ballroom, which appears to be entirely gold
