MacCALLUM: Margaret Thatcher said socialism is great until you run out of other people's money MAMDANI: Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if you have $957m you give it to Elon Musk in tax credits

At the same time, Boston’s mayor should be speaking out loudly against this. LOUDLY. You don’t ignore a bully, and damned sure don’t capitulate. You punch him in the f’ing nose.

To be clear, a sitting president is threatening to take away the World Cup and the Olympics from cities that don’t pledge fealty to him. Holy crap. And this is not even headline news. How the hell did it get to this? Two words: Fox News. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/o...

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far "Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

"After pausing to take a deep breath, Hines replied, “It ate just a little bit of his brain and died. So, don’t worry.”" Of course. Definitely listen to him over all the vast majority of medical professionals. people.com/cheryl-hines...

For the record, Hunter Biden had NO role in the WH whatsoever. Where is the outrage over this?

Boston looks forward to welcoming the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.

“There is a ‘concern’ that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” There is a “concern.” Bless your heart Fox News.

Here’s the wannabe dictator setting up a shakedown of FIFA. And where are all the Republicans who scream about “government overreach” when a Democrat is in the White House? www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

8/ But Trump doesn't want to end the shutdown. Because he thinks he's a king and he doesn't believe the law applies to him. He thinks he has extra powers in a shutdown. He doesn't. But the longer Republicans boycott talks, the more the shutdown will hurt. So it's their move.

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers. On the pod, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social and me on this: newrepublic.com/article/2016...

"That’s the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. The American founders expected better leaders than Johnson.' www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

At what point will our media ask about Trump’s obvious mental decline? He’s so far gone that he does not remember he was president in January 6, 2021

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Dumbest gaslighting ever. Who was president on January 6?

Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

Here’s the video of that momentous showdown. Incredibly, the gestapo shot it themselves—you know, the way they would film the ghetto for propaganda reels, only funny: bsky.app/profile/ronf...

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

This is beyond bad. All of our disease defenses are down now. We are sitting ducks. This is #RussellVought #DonaldTrump #RFKJr. They are endangering American lives with their insane crusade. These men are hazardous to your health and dangerous to the republic. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

And now no MMWR. This is surreal.

This alone should get him impeached and subsequently prosecuted and it’s barely even a story

“The president said Friday, in part, "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do.” Absolutely positively no way that happened. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

I nominate the word “trump” as the new word.

This explains soooo much.

NEW: Florida's surgeon general Joseph Ladapo isn't just guided by science—his beliefs are shaped by a wife who says she can speak to spirits and levitate, and an energy healer guru. The latest from @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and @kieraevebutler.bsky.social:

Agree with everything except for the "RFK is not an idiot" part. He is. But he is also someone who grew up in politics from the moment of birth. He has a lifetime of training in how to lie and smooth talk and sound convincing to others. This narrative that he is somehow intelligent needs to stop.

Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Now!!! #TrumpPedoFiles

WHEN THE HELL IS THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY GOING TO SPEAK UP? WHEN WILL THERE BE PROTESTS/MARCHES? AT WHAT POINT WILL THIS INSANITY END???

Jesus...F'ing...Christ

Actually she is 28 weeks pregnant, not 8 months. She takes a normal dose of tylenol, not "gobbling" it. And does NOT say "F Trump", just that her baby won't have autism. www.instagram.com/reel/DO_GJUv... This is RFK Jr. and Trump: Lie after lie after lie after lie. Pathological liars.

RFK Jr did his own research folks.

The guy who keeps invading cities and bombing foreigners whenever he feels like it and keeps dangling invasion of Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela didn’t win the Nobel peace prize this year

Fuck yeah!!!!! FUCK TRUMP!!!!!! María Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised the opposition politician for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.” www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/w...

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Don’t take medical advice from the President. And vote out every single Senator who is responsible for RFK Jr. leading our Department of Health.

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Stupider and stupider and stupider and stupider and…

Exactly. Can we stop acting like this is politics as usual, and stop trying to find a middle ground? We are losing our democracy, and it’s happening fast. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...
