Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

if you think this dude is ever going to fight Trump you should be studied in a lab

i love that coned says that electricity usage went up 1286.22% this last month. I'm sure that is accurate.

ICE detained the partner of an acquaintance of mine from college during her green card interview. If this happens to people trying to follow the legal process, in what kind of country are we living?

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Pulp and LCD Soundsystem joined forces to cover Heaven 17’s “(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang.” Nancy Whang and Jarvis nail it; so do the bands. 😎 youtu.be/thZ6EFlmB_E

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of @bendthearc.bsky.social, , their first ever in a mayoral election. “We are really very excited about Zohran and his platform not in spite of our commitment to Jewish values but because of them.”

I’ll be in Portland today watching a soccer match, eating dinner outside (it’s a beautiful fall day here), maybe going to a bookstore because life in Portland is totally normal. But in case I’m met with the “full force” of the US military during my regular rounds, it was nice knowing you all.

Instead, our elected Republican leaders, sent to Washington by their home states to govern the nation wisely and given full control of both House and Senate, will lie back supine. Honestly they are more egregious than he is.

this is just fucking insane. i feel like i'm hallucinating reading this. we just finished getting hot cocoa and blackberry thyme coffeecake and now we're taking the babies to an ancient forest to watch the old people doing tai chi. this could not be a calmer happier city

so hurt the most amount of people to make one person feel like a god?

it is wild to think of being a child and thinking the Supreme Court was some kind of protector of this country's beliefs and laws and then becoming an adult and realizing they are just destroying this country through a shadow docket. Fun to grow up. I hate it.

the racists have taken over the federal government.

Next, he'll ask them to consider whether he can shoot a guy in broad daylight on fifth avenue

An important tactic Trump learned as a private citizen is that if you’re rich, you can wreck people’s lives with completely frivolous litigation, even if you have no chance of winning. This terrorizes everyone else who might get on your bad side by, say, demanding payment or reporting facts.

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

so he is firing any person who follows the law.

Six Justices shockingly conclude that it's likely the Impoundment Control precludes an otherwise valid APA claim to require expenditure of obligated funds. This argument, which turns the ICA on its head, is so absurd that the Trump DOJ itself wisely disclaimed it a month ago. Utterly lawless.

this right here. If the Democrats fold this time, that is it.

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?

Why even have a congress

there are no laws anymore. that's it. just impulses and evil.

What power of the purse?

monsters of the highest order

thank you

Imagine celebrating a massacre of Native people. The absolute depravity.

Fucking sick. That was a fucking slaughter. They murdered over 250 Native men, women, and children and left 51 wounded (some who succumbed to their wounds later on). There was nothing heroic about what they did during that massacre. This is sick and wrong and beyond vile.

If we get out of this the entire concept of “emergency” powers needs to be e completely overhauled

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

They repeatedly express a desire to enact a permanent end to politics and people keep pretending that’s not weird.

the Olympics can't be in the united states.

“The Jews”

Look, you can’t buy your meds, your new car costs fortune, and your groceries cost 20% more than last year but at least the farmers who voted for this will get your money for free.

yes, this basically changes every democrat into an enemy of the state. this is really bad.

a reminder that all of these tariffs are illegal. they still will destroy the country but they are illegal.

It's absolutely fucking insane that Trump can just arbitrarily raise the prices of whatever he wants. This is untenable.

The point of this passage in the Trump terror memo—a major document—isn’t kicking down doors. It’s bleeding left nonprofits dry, a double whammy effect: crush the organizers, leading everyday people to believe organizing isn’t possible, that maybe they withered because they were wrong.

Trump is doing what Gavin Newsom suggested. Namely honoring Charlie Kirk's memory by continuing his work of calling women of color inferior.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

Trump cut U.S. military aid to Taiwan the *same day* he made a TikTok deal with Xi Jinping. And it turns out the financial benefits of Trump's TikTok deal are going to his own billionaire allies. Insanely corrupt.

a reminder that erasing queerness from public life is a mandate of Project 2025, framing us all as sex offenders. so for those who call ppl who offer full throated defense of trans ppl "single issue voters" or "purity test" voters, let this be your reminder that this is where that argument leads us

Trump threatening millions of dollars in funding to @nycschools.bsky.social is illegal and cruel. We will never sell out our trans youth. I want to be VERY clear: trans New Yorkers are protected by the NYC Human Rights Law and the NY State Constitution.

Hey, you guys ever think about how all politics are the same politics?

the idea that the president of the united states, instead of making the world a better place, is posting about Jimmy Kimmel makes me sick to my stomach
