11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

☕️ It takes 3 armed, masked men to take down one of the more dangerous criminals on the streets of America: the tamale vendor. And, see that asshole on the side pulling a side arm? Those aren’t patriots and the vendor isn’t the criminal.

Gender-affirming care is essential, lifesaving medical treatment that supports individuals in living as their authentic selves, and the decision to pursue such treatment should not involve the federal government.

Period. Full stop.

Rampant mosquitoes swarming the tents. Leaks after summer rainstorms. Excessive heat. And hurricane season around the corner. This is life in "Alligator Alcatraz."

Homegirl better sleep with one eye open. Just saying.

This is a weird move imo.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

Lincoln Square (@lincolnsquare) “One of the hallmarks of the Trump era is the alacrity with which intelligent people embrace stupidity. As it was in Mao’s China with the Red Guard, it is a political crime in today’s Republican Party...

"One of my favorite cartoons of Trump era shows a MAGA supporter ascending to heaven. His first question is, “Who killed Jeffrey Epstein?”

When God responds, “It was suicide,” the MAGA acolyte says to himself, “This goes even deeper than I thought.”

And so it does."

You need to break the Republican Party into a million pieces, and this is just the first thing that must be done.

Going "gloves off" is for snowflakes and the feeble. It's "knuckledusters on" you need.

SCOTUS ruled that political gerrymandering was acceptable in Alexander v. NAACP OF South Carolina. So it’s not even breaking the rules to do what Newsom suggests.

agree. It’s absurd. 2 senators for each state regardless of population. The electoral college is ridiculous. We are so cooked.

www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The Brennan Center says republican gerrymandering resulted in an extra 16 house seats in 2024 & complete control of the federal government. Blue states must redistrict now for the 2026 elections. Our votes are already diluted by the electoral college & only 2 senators despite population. Don't wait!

Do New York too cuz Florida will be next..dems can win this battle based on population density in democrat controlled states versus red States with less reps

It Takes a Government Bondi and Bove are the chief villains—but they couldn’t have done it alone.

"Bondi and Bove are grotesque figures. But grotesques don’t gain power in healthy democracies. They flourish when institutions falter—when guardrails are removed, norms are shredded, and complicity becomes widespread."

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) —dragged at his own town hall.

He should have known when it kicked off w/constituents reciting the Pledge of Allegiance w/extra emphasis on “justice for all.”

Then came the truth:
“I don’t think you’re the right fit for us anymore.”

Even telling him it’s time to step down.

Let them eat cake.

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.

She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group.

"Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.
