What's the future of the most diverse political party in American history? We asked three white guys aged 64, 73, and 78!

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.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

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.”

Feds have arrived in force outside Federal Plaza.

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.

It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco! I’ll fight for our city – against Trump’s takeover, for our values, & for real progress. I’ve delivered on housing, healthcare, clean energy, & civil rights – & I’ll do it again. Let’s build the future our city & country deserve.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

"Jews like me" -- you mean assholes? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/o...

because i'm a dumb little baby who has no grip on reality

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.

Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react: "People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

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.

Federal agents many in masks at Broadway and Canal moments ago questioning a man, a bunch more agents just walked away. "Can i call my mom," the man asks, he's now being loaded into a car and being driven away. More TK @thecity.nyc

I think it’s an “everyone is 12“ offshoot.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Okay brother I think we're done here jewishinsider.com/2025/10/grah...

Andrew Cuomo is a Republican.

speaking as a metalhead: the guy who hasn't removed his nazi tattoo is not a guy you want to be around. I don't care what he says about how he got it. if he didn't get it covered or lasered, you cannot trust him.

My closing argument to voters is that I can’t win if my duly elected Republican opponent stays in the race. I lost the Democratic primary and am staying in the race thanks to Trump donors. Vote for me. Early voting starts Saturday.

My mayoral campaign isn’t about issues or improving life in NYC. It’s about whining non-stop how my opponents should drop out of the race. Vote for me.

@cnn.com propping up the regime again. How about mentioning that until she's sworn in she literally CAN'T HIRE STAFF or even act as a Congresswoman in any capacity?

The whole internet loves buff white populist, who combines left wing ideas with masculine aesthetics prized among reactionaries! *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you the populist has a totenkopf tattoo

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

Also, shouldn't Cuomo be out, like, campaigning, rather than going on conservative radio shows to whine about how the Republicans aren't doing more to help him lose the mayoral election by 10 points instead of 40?

Kinda wild that Mamdani and Sliwa are the guys who won their primaries and there has been open, nonstop meddling to overturn that will of the voters and install the disgraced former governor and it’s largely being covered like this is perfectly normal shit

Nearside bike signal placed low where riders can see it, *with a countdown to green*??? 😍

The White House keeps making a big deal of the fact that the ballroom is privately funded but that’s one of the worst things about it. These people and companies are buying influence. None of this is okay.

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.

also, what an image. the president demolishing a portion of a humble people’s house to make room for his royalist monstrosity

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Anand Giridharadas to Andrew Cuomo: "First of all, governor, it's 'Mamdani.' This is a very big, diverse city you want to lead. We should get the names right."

the deathlock between legacy media and twitter was way more firm than I realized.

the 'international' association of fire fighters should talk to fire orgs in... literally any other country outside of the US and canada www.iaff.org/news/fire-fi...

Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks. Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.

it's important for a new york times news editor to not read the news, in order to remain objective

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

what trump brought to the republican party, more than maybe any other thing, was contempt for virtue, and he’s demanded that republicans abandon any virtue they might have once had.

Thanks for chiming in from abroad though!

everyone: we don’t want kings rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king the entire trump administration:
