There’s a lot of important stuff happening on this site but it’s such a bummer experience, like doomscrolling with the voice of your most panicked and righteous friend narrating everything. Overwhelming.

Where we are assuming naivety, we might instead assign cynicism. Instead of Democrats whiffing once again, maybe they were betting that their voters — you and me — would take the bait and play the role of old hapless Charlie Brown yet again. www.progressreport.news/p/democrats-...

The Miracle Mile shopping center is a basement mall on the Las Vegas strip lol

Andrew Cuomo will end his political career the same way it began: hurling bigoted smears in service of a losing mayoral campaign

People who remember the McCarren Pool Parties have finally taken over NYC

The Upper West Side defied predictions and is +5 for Zohran Mamdani. Honestly a huge statement about Cuomo's failure to scare Jewish voters off Zohran.

Andrew Cuomo spent years as governor working to give Republicans a majority in the state Senate, so they're really just paying him back.

Anybody here a heart surgeon or cardiologist? Have some pressing questions...

The NY Times keep asking the same seven voters what they think about various political issues. The Onion has been preemptively parodying this for decades.

If he really thinks Zohran is so dangerous, it looks like Cuomo should drop out to help Sliwa

In 2016, I went to Japan, saw a few baseball games, and then came back and wrote this article about a two-way player named Shohei Ohtani who was breaking out in NPB. www.vice.com/en/article/s...

For somebody running on his experience, Andrew Cuomo doesn't seem to remember anything he did as governor (other than rebuild an airport)

This is far worse than any glib old Reddit post

If there's one thing plaguing most New Yorkers on a day-to-day basis, it's prostitution on Roosevelt Ave. Spend more time on this, please.

Only 34% of the million low income New Yorkers eligible for free transit are enrolled. When you make a program opt-in, especially for people of fewer means, you kneecap it

I lived in a rent-stabilized apartment for three years and had no idea. Landlord and real estate agent never told me. When I moved out, they still raised the rent by a thousand bucks.

Curtis Sliwa has been going without the beret so long that his forehead is almost one color again

How'd he know??

If you told me that Marjorie Taylor Greene and John Fetterman did a Freaky Friday, I woudl be zero percent surprised

Paramount just paid $150 million for a publication with 1.5 million subscribers, which is about 37% of the total that we have at More Perfect Union. If it's all about merit and reporting relevance, why didn't David Ellison call us?

Excited for Bari Weiss because it shows that you don't have to suck up to billionaires or coddle those in power to succeed in this world

It’s disgustingly hot outside and fall in New York is all we really have left

When states restrict the rights of local govs & cede authority to the federal government, they open the door to abuses of power across policy areas. Read @jordanz.bsky.social's interview with LSSC’s Katie Belanger on the dangers of abusive preemption efforts. www.progressreport.news/p/how-states...

I was at that Gotham Awards ceremony 😖

Pete Hegseth is doing a reverse intervention on himself, summoning all the generals in his life to one place without explaining why

This place is the app equivalent of vegetables

Ezra Klein praises Charlie Kirk and then urged an embrace anti-abortion candidates, so obviously he should be the intellectual leader of the Democratic Party and chief strategist of the resistance to fascism.

ABC’s over the air broadcast is irrelevant. The FCC has no real control over its ability to disseminate its programming. Disney capitulated because it hates regulation and conservative corporate interests control local media

The corporate and institutional surrender to these second-rate clowns and charlatans has been breathtaking. The grooming of generations of bottom line-obsessed cowards and a sociopathic Supreme Court have done us in. The fascists will not ever stop.

Robert Redford could have been content being an Oscar-winning artist and all-time handsome guy, but instead spent the second half of his life rescuing American independent cinema, building the nation’s best film festival, and nurturing generations of young filmmakers. RIP king.

The days following Charlie Kirk’s murder renewed an exhausting cycle: liberal elites fall over themselves to praise a bigot who fucking hated them and the right uses it to persecute speech and the people that liberals are supposed to care about.

National moment of silence for the leader of the Hitler Youth

You can rue a murder without allowing somebody to become a martyr. Charlie Kirk was a reactionary demagogue who devoted his life to recruiting young people into a movement driven by hate, greed, and deceit. Kirk's murder is a tragedy, as was his work. www.progressreport.news/p/mourn-him-...

Remember when Joe Biden and most Democrats refused to even entertain the idea of expanding the Supreme Court? Remember when Dick Durbin refused to investigate the corrupt right-wing justices? These maniacs are working with total impunity and fascism is the result.

Edwin Diaz never in doubt

Eric Adams is either dropping out of the mayoral race or announcing that he's also running for governor

I'm going to see Pulp next week

Bari Weiss has continuously benefited from DEI as practiced by billionaire white men who can’t stand being criticized or questioned. She's a grifter, a pseudo-heterodox sellout, profiting off others’ pain.

Donald Trump should definitely interfere in the NYC mayoral race on behalf of Andrew Cuomo, that'll be a hit with voters here. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...

FYI New Yorkers

Everything fucking sucks, so Trump is probably just recovering from de-aging surgery and is now biologically 38 years old

Imagine secretly paying $8,000 a month to have some of the most annoying people on social media praise the most annoying people in DC. The goal isn't to win elections or enact social change. It's all a grift designed to siphon money that could go to real organizing.

Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey scored a double digit upset victory in last night’s special legislative election, breaking the GOP's supermajority. I spoke with her last week — what stood out most was how she laughed off deranged GOP attacks and built organizing infrastructure.

I can't believe the same Supreme Court that last year ruled that Donald Trump can do whatever he wants left the door open for Trump to do whatever he wants. Big mistake.

Trump is a distractable pudding-brained moron and it's just baffling that all these institutions, politicians, and companies are caving to him. They would overthrow any other president for demanding a stake in a company, withholding funding, or breaking the law. Why do they bow to this mook?

Good call, I'm sure giving in will convince the Trump administration to leave this prestigious university alone
