sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

Off to a good start

Comical, @wsj.com.

Thousands of New Yorkers packed the plaza outside City Hall and the streets of Lower Manhattan to see Mayor Zohran Mamdani take office on Thursday. See more photos here. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/01/n...

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

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...

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it. Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up. Call your Rep and Senators.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

She’s exactly where she deserves to be, but how wild is it that the President of the United States is wishing citizens the worst and wants them to rot in hell? Wild times, folks…

This unbelievably dim loser thinks he comes off well in this video, as he tries to force his way into a daycare. The employee asks “what department” they’re from, and he says “we are from ourselves” — because being an entitled white man empowers you to act like a vigilante, apparently?

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

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.

The results of Musk’s chainsaw.

Events like this and coral reef die offs reveal a harder truth: our ability to control ocean conditions or protect marine life at scale are an illusion. apple.news/AsNWIV8lxRoi...

Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

Here's Trump giving more credence to the fear that Israel plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza and ship them to Somaliland, a self-declared country in the Horn of Africa that no UN member state recognizes – except for Israel.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

In this year’s #PlanetaryHealthCheck (www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...), the #OceanAcidification boundary has been assessed as breached for the first time. What does this mean? Nice explanatory piece in “Dialogue Earth”, with input from PIK researcher Levke Caesar. dialogue.earth/en/ocean/exp...

Trump's DoJ was monitoring and spying on journalists who were covering Epstein in 2019.

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

Oh man, the closing shot here is perfect

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, & thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT … Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!”

This is profoundly un-American. No—that's not right. It's *anti*-American. It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions. The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

Bari Weiss, who made her career sowing distrust in the mainstream media, is now pretending other people did that and she’s here to help right the ship

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you? Caller: I am eight

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

How Trump sells pardons and commutations for profit, and the brokers who make it happen. It's corruption of the crudest and most grotesque sort, and it was all promoted and enabled by a Supreme Court that granted him explicit impunity. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Bari Weiss yanking a 60 Minutes story is censorship by oligarchy | Margaret Sullivan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It brings me no pleasure to report that my beat — offshore wind power — skyrocketed to the top of new sites today. I just published a scoop about Trump's halt on 5 in-progress wind farms capable of powering 2.7 million homes. Here's a mega🧵 🔗 2nd post is a link to my scoop 🎁 last post is a gift

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

THIS is among the most important list of documents the public needs to see. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way. I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

Epstein to Larry Nassar in 2019: "Our president [Trump] also shares our love of young nubile girls"

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

People passing around the 60 Minutes CECOT piece like teenage boys from the 1980s passing around their dad's Playboy issues, and YouTube cannot take down ripped copies fast enough. Here's one that's interesting: a video of the video. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

The Department of Justice is unlikely to receive much benefit of the doubt from the public in its fumbling of the Epstein files, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. In The Atlantic Daily, he points out the department’s series of compounding failures:

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:
