Cuomo keeps saying Mamdani’s never had a job in his life, but Mamdani gets a paycheck every two weeks from the NYS Legislature. Who’s signing Cuomo’s paychecks right now though?

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries. Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.”

As is typical with Cuomo, he couldn't even be bothered to get the details right. The Grand Central Artery has nothing to do with the subway. That's Metro-North's tunnel underneath Park Avenue. Setting aside the politics, this is just a lazy lazy policy proposal.

The message of Trump pardoning violent MAGA 1/6 rioters was always, “Violence to help me (even against police) is fine and I will have your back.”

the through line of "got an accidental nazi tattoo while drunk" to "regularly takes shirt off at the bar" to "starts a senate campaign with no experience and no plan to address any of this" to "gets a terrible coverup overnight" is "total lack of judgment and impulse control"

The same car that ICE agents got into earlier on Canal and Church exited the cordoned off area around 26 Federal Plaza. Despite NYPD's major efforts to crack down on license plate covers and other ghost cars, they didn't care when one drove right in front of their eyes.

There's that. But also: Platner, as I understand it, is a business owner who went to an elite college, whose parents were a lawyer and a restaurant owner, and whose grandfather is a successful and famous architect. So it's interesting to ask what "authentic working-class" means in this context.

From 1965 through 2017 when Obama made a deal with Cuba in his last days in office, Cubans on U.S. soil could not be deported to Cuba. There are senior citizens ordered deported in the 1970s who are still here decades after serving their time. Now Trump is dumping some of them in Mexico.

The Democratic primary in this race will be held fully eight months from now in June 2026, there are nine active Democratic candidates, and there could be more! Even the filing deadline is still months away (March 15, I believe). I don’t get the PSA crew adopting a bunker mentality this early.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable. Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

This, from a sitting member of Congress and gubernatorial hopeful is straight up lying to her constituents. Stefanik, who knows better, is lying about the impact of restoring Metro-North service to Albany. It doesn't automatically make Albany (or Columbia) County part of the MCTD. It's just lying.
