As always, it's appalling at the same time it's so cheap, tawdry, and embarrassing. What a pathetic, shabby little gangster.

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

60 Minutes Obeys in Advance Read more here.

On four separate occasions, Donald Trump lied about the outcome of the 2020 election. Not once did O’Donnell correct him. None of these lies made it into the final broadcast. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Sen. Slotkin: β€œI believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the federal government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal, making sure that he and his ilk never have to give up power.”

Donald Trump is the kind of dull, lazy, and uninventive clod who doesn’t even change his tie to attend his own 1920s costume party.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them β€” starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas.

That’s why I’m so proud to be in the Bronx this morning to accept the endorsement of the United Bodegas of America.
