It’s going something else when US government officials defend Grok over this

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

Kind of incredible that people are still justifying being on X, a site that is creating content that, if it were on your hard drive or something you sent in an email attachment, would get you a visit from the FBI.

And insight by the NYT into the infamous EU/US/UA meeting at the Oval Office.. Turns out, Trump called former Miss Ukraine to have Zelenskyy speak to her since “Ukrainian women are so beautiful”

this is obviously correct, but it also speaks to the focus on competence that Mamdani would choose a DOT commissioner who is not like a free buses true believer

They hated him because he told the truth

As expected, Mamdani announced Kerson as his deputy mayor for operations at a press conference just now. He is not, however, announcing a DOT commissioner at this presser, though several sources said today Mike Flynn is a favorite for that post. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/31/m...

Prior to liberal currents, can't say I've seen a news org that has been able to articulate liberal values in a modern context. I always learn a new way to assign words to innate feelings I've had for long parts of my life. Truly worth your time and money.

NEW: As his re-election prospects dimmed, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s administration raced through a blockbuster deal to buy hundreds of millions of dollars worth of new Chromebooks for public school students. It’s not clear that anywhere near so many public school students need the devices.

Disappointed that Trump decided to forego a left NIMBY arc and just told it like it is.

In Santa Monica, the FPPC has disqualified pro-housing Councilmember Jesse Zwick from all future housing votes. They said that because he works for a housing non-profit, he’s “conflicted” and must recuse. Pretty absurd. The NIMBY deep state strikes again. www.smdp.com/state-regula...

David Brooks sucks but I will say — and not in his defense, because he sucks — that I really dislike this whole longstanding trend of "these two people appeared in a photo together so they must be best friends" detective work

Gov Hochul will veto a bill to require both a conductor and a driver on every subway train, according to two sources familiar with the decision. Story to follow. Details on the bill here: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

In the most MLS trade of all time, Toronto FC traded their first round draft pick to Colorado for a video analyst/assistant coach. Colorado then used that pick to select a player already under contract at their club for 2026.

incredible... H.R.6644 - Housing for the 21st Century Act

A big part of me and I'm sure many others is absolutely furious that this stuff wasn't reported on more extensively or at all in 2016. It was widely known, especially among folks who've been aware of Trump in NYC since the 1980s. Why are we just now getting these deep dives into his deviance?

they keep emphasizing that these are on "known narcotrafficking routes" and like, those are just route-routes. there are not special ocean highways for drugs.

Open New York’s 2026 NYC Policy Agenda is out now! Here’s how we plan to turn New Yorkers’ mandate for housing into action:

Two things: *They are only cutting these funds in seven states that lean Democratic *Support for people with disabilities was a relatively bipartisan position. Trump has repeatedly made clear he does not see them as people worthy of support or dignity.

Glad someone is finally suing to stop this insane claim that has survived multiple changes in administration.

Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should
