Craziest example of this for me has been Sicario, which I did not think was subtle in its message or critique, and yet has somehow been fetishized by half the Trump administration (and whose own sequel didn’t seem to understand what Villaneuve was saying in the first one!)

Not to mention Bovino being a dead-ringer for Lockjaw.

Meanwhile you’ve got the president issuing executive orders basically declaring left-leaning foundations enemies of the state (and you don’t see those folks running).

I have to give a lot of credit to Hochul here - this is exactly what she should be doing. This city and state have vast reserves of political, financial, and cultural power, and we should be using all of it to keep New Yorkers safe from the administration.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online.

It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Bit of an odd framing here. It seems like Tisch acted appropriately (and that the Mayor-elect agrees with what she did).

Chicago residents say kids tear-gassed due to nearby immigration enforcement A Chicago mother tells NBC News she and her 2-year-old were hit with a chemical agent. Many residents say the city wasn’t a “war zone”— until immigration agents swept through.

“Mommy! Mommy! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!”

Well, considering Rocker said this back in 1999, he probably does believe it

remember this great new york post scoop from yesterday morning?

"You know what I like about rich kids?"

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

In other words, Kristol is the Never Trump equivalent of trad cath adult converts?

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Wait, what on earth didn’t they like? That was a brilliant speech!

Folks, I've heard a lot (a LOT) of speeches in my life, and that's got to be one of the best I've ever heard.

and yeah, what he said.

Let's all make Sharice Davids a star.

I love New York.

Puskas now.

Ossoff is really tailormade for that demo.

AS A CENTREBACK

I'll never stop shouting from the rooftops that a successful Democratic Party must have anti-corruption efforts as one of its primary pillars. We will not be able to rebuild government or the country's reputation abroad without it. That might make life difficult for some folks in DC, but too bad.

Especially when it's like, Bill Ackman, who both 1) doesn't live in NYC; and 2) isn't ever actually going to leave the Tristate, just like the rest of these knuckleheads.

Beyond what we know from press, the fact that very reasonable campaign staff (who have worked plenty of lefty candidates and thus are not likely to be afraid of being blackballed by the DSCC) keep quitting is a huge, huge red flag, especially the ones who joined post tattoo revelation.

Oh my God.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.

Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

Sorry, to be clear, I meant more the seething usage of things like “soy-faced.” I think if I were to ask my friends and relatives in their 40s and 50s what that meant, they’d give me a blank stare.

It says a lot about how much I like Zohran that I voted for a Knicks and Arsenal diehard.

So, I know that Roberts is pretty out there, but that doesn't read to me like it was written by a 51-year-old. It has a certain Millenial cadence to it (but I guess it still got published under his name regardless, even if he had help from a ghostwriter).
