people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

*Many* NYPD making more than $260K total comp

Checked in! 🏥 See y'all on the other side

Sometimes it's not clear, so I'll clarify it: Even if these are drug boats, simply blowing them up is illegal. And if they aren't drug boats, holy shit it's illegal.

LOL they’ve gone from lying about the economy to finally admitting it sucks but scapegoating the shutdown they’re also responsible for

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

Guillotines

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

"Spirit Halloween, but preposterously expensive" doesn't seem like a winning idea, but what do I know?

elon musk will be one of the main things our progeny will blame us for allowing to happen.

When Dick Cheney was in power, he was seen as the hardest of the hardline conservatives. In the Trump era, hardline conservatism isn't what it used to be. @draperrobert.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

Orrrrrr... 😇

if i ever reach this point then just put me down

Agree. Getting an absolute majority in a multi-candidate field is definitionally a mandate. Doubly so when the outright majority is atop record turnout.

Look, it's not even in the top thousand offenses of this administration, but I can't get over how fucking tacky and gaudy the Oval Office has become under this clown. I'm surprised he hasn't thrown up some LIVE LAUGH LOVE pictures to complete the look of "strip mall Italian restaurant"

the speed at which RFK books it out of there is incredible

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

"Hey, man, what message should we push today as we deliberately deny millions of Americans their food benefits?"

But the GDP per capita is Yuge

It's beautiful

The notion that the US is some company that suddenly might run out of funds when its creditors show up misses the point entirely. The real question is whether the things we spend our money on enhance our productive capacity or not.

We print dollars. We are plenty liquid whenever we need to be. This is where his background as a private businessman completely fails him.

Wait until you see what happens with the poultry prices from rampant bird flu infections

Probably just me but they should’ve picked a different artist

Sick story dude. I mean a Muslim democratic socialist just became mayor of NYC but I'm sure they were totally gonna make second rate Yale philosophy professors the number one target. Truly the most persecuted amongst us. God I hate this loser shit.

i love how this is both true and sounds like technobabble to anyone not in ML

Behold the power of MAGAnomics!

you can’t voter suppress your way out of this kind of enthusiasm people are Very Mad

Also "generic GOP candidates would have outperformed him overall" is just not accurate? Sure that happened in many places in 2016, but fewer in 2020 and fewer still in 2024

400,000 kids! That’s up there with the biggest atrocities in world history.

I don’t even have words for this. One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

Can Ramaswamy's gubernatorial candidacy torpedo the Senate special election race? 🤔

Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

For folks who've been one-armed for a span of time and shave their faces, what did you use? Electric or manual? Type of blade? I'm 14 hours out from this surgery and haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet 😫

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

"US-based companies announced more than 153,000 job cuts in October, the research firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported Thursday. 'This is the highest total for October in over 20 years, and the highest total for a single month in the fourth quarter since 2008'" www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

It’s not that 2025 voters demanded wokeness, it’s that making politics all about wokeness is absurd. The winners ran on affordability and freedom. Candidates that ran on bigotry (Cuomo, Earle-Sears) got wrecked. If we must put it in these terms, the public is anti-anti-woke. State repression bad.

When your "I'm not antisemitic, it's just that ..." defense is "if we push back too hard on antisemitism I might have to eat dinner with some Jews and that would contradict my faith" ... You're not beating the rap guys

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

I went to work with her, and I never, ever got to forget one time that my -mother- ran the family. When the other partners fired her and tried to rob her of her retirement, a point that they made over and over again in arbitration was the weirdness that our family was run by my mother, not father
