Mamdani keeps talking about affordable grocery stores and accessible bus lines, but his opponents keep insisting he’s running to transform NYC into Mecca. Pure bigotry, nothing more.

Updating my LEGO White House

Me and my partner's "Bronze" health insurance plan with Florida Blue is increasing from $511.22 a month to $1,711.75 a month next year. Not quite sure how to fit "$20,541 a year in health insurance premiums" into the budget.

Honored to have played both old & “new” 9:30, worked with with the amazing staff, some old friends, some new each time, AND with IMP, who’ve always been kind & generous. Honored now to stand with the workers pursuing a union & voluntary recognition! ❤️✊❤️ www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

That was a fun NYC mayoral debate last night. Let's check the highlights:

"heartfelt beliefs and concerns of a traumatized nation, as spoken by ordinary citizens? that would be a good story, but I’m not seeing it in Big Journalism" @sulliview.bsky.social

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

@dropkickmurphys.com are one of the VERY few punks actually being punk by speaking out against the establishment & standing up for the working class. Joe Strummer would be proud. Wear their new merch at the upcoming No Kings march. dropkickmurphys.store/products/fck...

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

it’s bad for the U.S. citizens in DC and Puerto Rico to have representation in Congress?

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I don’t know man really seems like the president is eager to start killing us.

The President of the United States is living in an alternate reality and it's long past time for media outlets to start talking about it. We're beyond "Trump said without evidence." Trump is governing a world that only exists in his warped mind.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

If by "happy with the outcome," you mean "absolutely fucking livid at the armed occupation and watching masked goons kidnap our neighbors," then sure asshole, we're "happy."

1. You are talking about THAT Jake Tapper, right? The one who wrote a book about Biden's health problems? 2. It is starting to look like Trump's problem is cognitive. He can stand up and walk, and for a speech, he can pass words through his mouth for an hour or so. But not answer questions.

fun thing to do would be project 2029 and we just lay out a plan to raise top marginal tax rates back to 1950’s levels of around 91% and for the democratic nominee to say nope not me and for the press to say candidates disavows project 2029 and then do it since the press is so fucking gullible

Remember when Hillary Clinton called some Trump supporters “deplorable“?

shocking details out of an ICE raid on an apartment building in South Shore area of Chicago on September 30th abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Chicago: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

📌Yesterday, Trump called on our military leaders to use U.S. cities as 'training grounds' for his latest attack on America. Today, it is all but forgotten. The normalization of this evil, rotten son of a bitch is just too much to take sometimes.

Pete Hegseth, a born loser, gathered our top military officials yesterday to deliver one of the most embarassing speeches in history. I broke down some of the choicest passages from it, including his NO FATTIES edict. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Do you guys ever look around the newsroom at all the awards and tributes on the walls and wonder what it was like to work there when the paper wasn't a fucking laughingstock?

Here’s the initial @nytimes.com coverage. Hegseth’s comments are summarized briefly in seventh graf. Trump’s comments about being “under invasion from within” that is “no different than a foreign enemy” are not reported at all. It’s not accurate to call this all familiar partisan complaints.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email

Funny how professionalism standards for these guys never include visible tattoos

Donald Trump’s decision to invade Portland on the basis of video from five years ago raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The access-dependent Washington press corps is ignoring this revelatory Trump quote because it raises all sort of questions about his mental functioning and agency that they would rather not acknowledge. presswatchers.org/2025/09/trum...

These GOP politicians have to stop describing largely peaceful urban centers like Portland and Chicago as war zones. The unpeaceful parts are where the Feds have shown up to spread fear and abuse.

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

Free DC chant in full effect at Audi Field today

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

But Justice Kavanaugh assured us that “questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.”

the first admin certainly had some of this, but this time around, it’s just this fucking whiny crybaby bitch shit from every member of the cabinet all goddamned day long. fucking loser ass presidency.

Yup. I was there tonight. When I confronted one about them ignoring Republicans in NYC, and not protesting them, he was suddenly silent. I am tired of performative nonsense.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Frog came into the house. “Toad,” said Frog, “your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers. “Your kitchen sink is filled with dirty dishes,” said Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad.

The Washington DC NFL market probably isn’t the right place for a “join ICE” ad and yet… Anyway #HTTC.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

Really incredible stuff from Bill Simmons, who of all the possible angles chose “this isn’t so bad because famous people can make their OWN platforms and don’t need networks anymore,” and then hit us with a “brought to you by FanDuel” outro. No one’s doing it like him.

Look at photos of US troops in Fallujah. (eg here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... ) They're armed like these ICE agents in Chicago. But none of them are wearing the cowardly face masks of today's ICE thugs. Like the one throwing a young, female Congressional candidate to the ground.

Life in our times. Message to a friend from a family-owned, well-reviewed home-repairs company, about coming to fix a roofing problem. (I know this company and know that they have closed.)
