Sydney Sweeney being registered Republican might be the thing that turns Republican men off her

I forgot to add it was after National Anthem by Lana del Rey played

Randomly remembered when I left my 4th of July playlist on in the backyard and left my dad and uncle alone listening to it and when I came back out they were like “can you change the music”

Chicago Democrats issue warnings about their mayor amid Zohran Mamdani's rise Mamdani’s camp is tracking Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s challenges and trying to avoid repeating his missteps, according to a person close to both Mamdani’s and Johnson’s teams.

“They lost the plot.” Interesting NBC piece about Brandon Johnson, Zohran Mamdani, what folks in Chicago are saying and what folks in Mamdani’s camp are saying.

If you’re really excited about Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson or the prospect of finding love later in life generally, I recommend this movie

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

I woke up with the hangxious fear that I overshared last night but actually I just journaled 4 pages after 2 drinks

Maybe you've heard @nysfocus.bsky.social reporters on Radio Catskill or Capitol Pressroom or NCPR - we're regularly partnering with public radio organizations across the state.

Read @keharloe.bsky.social's report on the federal cuts coming to public radio and tv.

For @nysfocus.bsky.social, I reported on what New York state will lose as a result of the federal cuts to public media: at least $57 million, and probably more when all is said and done.

sadly it can't be that simple

Sorry I’m late I had to walk really slow so j could eavesdrop on a couple have a dramatic exchange but I will bring you the answer to “are you in love with me”

States sue USDA over efforts to gather food stamp data on tens of millions of people Twenty-one states are suing after the USDA demanded states turn over sensitive data on food assistance applicants. The lawsuit calls the demand an "Orwellian surveillance campaign."

“fear of the big scary city” is a virtue in this subculture and expressing it is a sign of solidarity with people they made up. it’s true of nyc and chicago but also this kind of person in small-town wisconsin does the same thing with madison now in order to signal they’re part of the group

I’m getting tired of outside. How does Eric Adams have the stamina

When the illegal strike ended, more than 2,000 of the 13,000-plus striking guards were fired after they refused to return to work. That compounded an ongoing staffing shortage that partially sparked the strike itself. Thirty-five of the state’s 42 prisons are operating with an average of 32% of guard posts unfilled, New York Focus reported.

In front of a Manhattan ICE office, a fence is covered in photos of vanished immigrants 'In what country do you recall students being black bagged off of a street? Not one person ever says the United States of America.'

Wrote about a thing I noticed near my office this week that is deeply fucked up and upsetting but also inspiring: People have started plastering a fence in front of a downtown ICE office with photos of immigrants disappeared by ICE nygroove.nyc/lower-manhat...

Why Won’t New York Lawmakers Call a Special Session to Address… Fiscal advocates warn the governor and state lawmakers against punting a difficult discussion on how to deal with imminent cuts.

NEW: Despite the massive scale of funding cuts from Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Act, top lawmakers have said they don’t plan to reconvene this year.

We asked: What is a special session? Should there be one? What can state lawmakers do to offset the cuts?
