If he gets away with this, what comes next? This move isn't the end game; it's the opening salvo in a war on the Constitution itself.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.
It costs ~$70 to produce a yearβs supply of insulin.
Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isnβt inflation or supply chainβItβs corporate greed.
NowβCalifornia will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Zero so far for Cuomo who volunteered to be a lawyer for an ICC-indicted war criminal.
Only in the Federalist Society academic bubble could you say that the government going in and splitting up geographically contiguous communities of Black voters in order to prevent them from ever being a majority in any House district is "government not taking race into account."

Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldnβt speakβif there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizensβbut they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. Youβd be New York Cityβs first Muslim mayor. Youβd be its first democratic socialist mayor. I wouldnβt actually be the first democratic socialist mayor. Who would it be? David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist. Thank you for the correction. Very welcome.
amazing opening
