Cuomo’s Last-Minute Push Takes Him Into MAGA Territory The former governor courts Trump fans, finding common ground in dire warnings about a future under Mayor Mamdani.

Some of the most fervent volunteers for Andrew Cuomo's mayoral campaign are Republicans who voted for and still embrace Trump.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

About to activate my 3 free months of Health+ so I can get in on the eventual class action lawsuit

Democrats has a trifecta in 2021 and did not do any of these things. Maybe Dems should be taking notes on power politics here.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Key thing here is the idea that Stephen Miller and others are absolutely thrilled that Trump has lost a step, since it makes him easier to manipulate:

This is insane

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

The first op-ed I ever wrote was for the WaPo. It was where the public facing part of my career got its start.

And it was about the need to punish those convicted of violence less.

I’m gonna guess it would not make the cut now.

It’s really sad to see it reduced to pushing for a Trump peace prize.

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

Among other things, according to the decision: - 250 security prisoners will be released. - 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released. - 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released. - 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

I would vote without question for anyone with the fucking stones to do this while refusing to 1) throw trans people under the bus and 2) fund Israel's genocide

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

FWIW, not all female bosses on the Hill have bad reputations. Plenty of them inspire loyalty because they treat their staff well. Every Warren campaign staffer I know loves her. Patty Murray has a deep alumni team that admires her. AOC treats her staff well. Same with Tina Smith

If I was told I couldn’t do a job Meghan McCain did I think I’d become a monk

I think Dems can and should do better than people who are abusive to their staff members

Pritzker isn't low-IQ because he's not Black. Only Johnson is low-IQ because he's Black.

Always count on the absolute dumbest man among us to just say the thing out loud.

Trump approves mining road, delivers $70 million windfall to MAGA billionaire On April 6, 2024, a procession of Range Rovers, Aston Martins, and Bentleys rolled up to the Palm Beach mansion of billionaire John Paulson. The occasion was a glitzy fundraiser for Donald Trump’s pre...

John Paulson has been hosting high-dollar fundraisers for Trump since 2016. On October 6, Trump returned the favor.

In a Presidential Memorandum, Trump announced that he was approving the construction of a road through the Alaskan wilderness that will allow for the mining of valuable minerals.

You'll fare a lot better in terms of coping with this stuff if you just internalize that being pro-Israel has long been considered an elite litmus test and now being pro-Palestine is becoming the litmus test of the forthcoming next generation of elites. Ideological reproduction on the issue flipped.

The Viral MAGA Accounts Run by a Man Who Has Never Been to America Two influential MAGA social media accounts are run by Rumen Naumovski, a Macedonian who may have illegally donated to a U.S. election.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

I once heard German Green politician and peace activist Petra Kelly talk about this, shortly before her death. She described a first nations protest in Canada, where hundreds of police and activists had a standoff that seemed destined for violence until scores of children with pillows “attacked” …

Honestly and seriously think this is an EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE tactic to use against these weak fascist losers.

My nuanced take - fuck this snake of a man.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

Robin Williams’ Daughter Tells Fans to ‘Stop Sending Me AI Videos of Dad’: It’s ‘Gross’ and ‘Not What He’d Want’ Zelda Williams tells fans not to send her AI recreations of father Robin Williams, calling them "gross."

Zelda Williams: “And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line”

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
