Opinion | Mamdani’s Charm Offensive and Crash Course in How to Govern Being mayor of New York City is one of the toughest jobs in politics. One glimpse of how Zohran Mamdani may seek to do it is whom he’s talking to.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Behind the easygoing persona in the viral videos and breezy appearance on ‘The View,’ Zohran Mamdani is running a careful and tightly controlled campaign,” Mara Gay writes.

Pay Bagley is a national treasure

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

It's not, like, some minor paperwork mistake. If this is correct, ICE rammed a woman's car, threatened her derisively, shot her, and then wrote up a report claiming she drove at them.

Someone prosecute someone for perjury someday please.

There Is No Insurrection Troops are for national defense, not displays of presidential power.

Not only is Trump’s use of the term “insurrection” a wild exaggeration of protests in Portland, but it’s also an obvious wink to the Insurrection Act, which can unlock great presidential powers.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

Colorado friends, this is the week to start watching for Sandhill Cranes moving south, and through the month of October. This is also true for other locations throughout the Midwest. (Archive video from October 2023). Volume up ⬆️

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

That is an excellent summation.

Dining out on his own ego and hubris.

Can she be charged with contempt for not answering questions? (not that that does much).

IMO it is bad that congressional hearings involving Cabinet members have transformed entirely into public lying and groveling competitions for an audience of one

Was she asked that during confirmation hearings? I don't recall. This meeting was oversight of her current position but she should definitely be pinned to the wall for all epstein related matters.

Attorney General Pam Bondi came before the Judiciary Committee today.

But she refused to answer a raft of important questions.

On Tom Homan's bribe.

On Donald Trump's new luxury plane.

On January 6th pardons.

On illegal strikes in the Caribbean.

On Epstein.

The stonewalling was staggering.

He does not know what transparency means.

Sen. DURBIN: Madam Attorney General, it's my job to grill you. Investigation of your agency is part of my responsibility. You may not like the experience, but others have weathered this storm and answered questions in a respectful manner.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @dieworkwear , derek guy, posted 9 hours ago, stating, "this is the jacket's breast pocket's lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square," accompanied by two images. The left image shows a man in a suit, identified as Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, speaking on a Fox News segment titled "On Violence Against ICE Agents" with locations Phoenix and San Diego listed. The right image is a close-up of the man's jacket breast pocket, revealing the lining pulled up to resemble a pocket square.

Pointing this out is now a deportable offense though.

Broadview police are investigating.

I'm not surprised. When I canvassed in Pennsylvania for Biden/Harris I was told to park behind the HQ, not on the street, because my windows might get smashed if local magas saw my bumper sticker.

It's always funny how many of these dorks love religion until it says to be a good person.

Passport service cuts target minorities and people with disabilities, union says | CBC News The Union of National Employees believes minorities are being disproportionately targeted by cuts to the passport service.

Told ya.

which one had the experience to do their job?

Schumer: I want to say to Donald Trump, to Johnson, and to Thune: come to the Capitol, sit down in public, and debate us on the health care crisis that’s afflicting Americans.

The public needs to see this.

Update

So that's a yes.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

Woman shot by ICE has been released from custody, body cam footage revealed an agent saying
"do something bitch" while holding his rifle at her

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?”

AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️
