It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all. And here she is at the loser party with him.

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Noooooooooooo. Really?

the story of this shutdown is that Trump and the Republicans have played the politics significantly worse than Chuck Schumer and folks that's a genuine accomplishment

chuck stinks but he's got a very simple and obvious hand that he has consistently been playing for a month, nothing has changed on that. if the republicans weren't morons who didn't know what they wanted, it wouldn't even work at all

I asked four different AIs a question any sixth grader with Wikipedia could easily answer, and they all got it wrong.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

as I've pointed out before, many states barely pay their legislators.

If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.

since no one clicks the article i'll keep lugging the hopium over here

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

You know I was thinking about cancelling my New Yorker subscription....

Jfc the feds are not gonna have a good time today lol

*genially* You know your eminence, this reminds me of the parable of the LEOPARDS and the FACES

Twice in the last few months I personally experienced antisemitism from former mutuals who were radicalized by Gaza. Left-wing antisemitism exists and is concerning to me. But the far, far bigger problem — which is magnitudes worse — is Islamophobia in the Jewish community and Democratic Party.

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

After sitting through four years of Garland, I think it's only fair that Jay Jones become US attorney general in 2029.

any Democrat who isn’t cheering Mamdani’s blowout from the roofs right now is a snake and dangerous to any resistance movement against the active fascist era (which they are largely responsible for creating in the first place!)

Area party upset to discover that years of sadistic, violent rhetoric and actions critically eroded political norms they forgot that they also relied on, news at 11

it has been a good long minute since I read America Magazine but JD Vance getting schooled in a Jesuit publication is the absolute sweetest plum www.americamagazine.org/faithinfocus...

The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.

Yep that’s what we’ve been telling you all, you shameless asshole.

been having a chuckle about this. looking on that subreddit, the mods are constantly running searches for and deleting posts that mention mamdani. the posters have been saying things like "the frontrunner for mayor" and so on to evade getting banned lol

One of the least remarked parts of Mamdani's speech yesterday was its strong implication that he wants his army of 100k volunteers to stick around and do stuff.

This is what's known as *lying*

The Court is once again upholding Article VIII of the Constitution, which clearly states that the president is allowed to do whatever he wants except break the economy.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Waiting for all the breathless coverage about the all the people of color shifting blue in this election, since the shift to Trump a year ago was treated like a colossal re-ordering of the electorate that signaled the end of wokeness and progressive politics.

Hey normal people. If you're wondering where Zohran Mamdani was quoting Debs from, it was from here, from his speech prior to sentencing for daring to say World War One was a dumb idea. Honestly one of the better speeches from American history, period. users.wfu.edu/zulick/341/D...

Had a very @nogodsnomayors.com moment at the playground...

Enjoying an unhurried and delightful meal at The Table Of Success. My waiters keep bringing me off-menu amuse bouches "from the chef." Ah here comes another crudo. Sublime.

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

As a stuy grad it pains me that our most successful politician is Eric Holder lol.

At a ditmas hipster bar waiting to make a joyful noise. The bar has it on CNN so they're not calling it

jay jones has a winning message for 2026: [REMOVED FOR VIOLATION OF TOS]

He's getting 50+ percent in a 3 way vote

IRS officially saying Direct File is dead. This was clear from back in April when they told engineers to stop working on the project (and the leaders of that team have since left government). Here is what I wrote then. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

There’s no such thing as “accountability” for 49 percent of the electorate. The only victory is to defeat this political movement, impose a better social and political structure, and tell everyone they will be tolerated in the new social structure if they don’t try to bring back the old one

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead
