The man does not back down: Targeted by transphobic fear-mongering, he released videos about the LGBTQ community. Targeted by Islamophobic attacks, he released a video in Arabic. Targeted by red-scare tactics, he releases a video bathed in red light celebrating NYC socialist history—on election eve.

Cuomo during the campaign: I'm the only man tough enough to stand up to the evil Donald Trump!

Cuomo on election eve: I hope New Yorkers all listen to my good friend Donald Trump and heed his advice to vote for me!

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

The last whiff of desperation from the oligarchs to try and get their corrupt clown candidate to win the NYC mayoral race.

It will be so satisfying to this shit flop so hard tomorrow.

Virginia's Democratic nominee for governor tells a Democratic NY assembly member and current Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor that "he should be a Democrat."

Great stuff.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Must read analysis/prediction of the NYC mayoral race.

I know most people can't just walk away from their paychecks, but the moment CBS "settled" with Trump, the writing was on the wall. They threw away decades of building a trustworthy news brand to make nice with the administration and gave away every shred of their integrity in one fell swoop

I will venmo any reporter $400 to ask trump "what does SNAP stand for"

Just another example that the for-profit, corporate media does not care about the everyday journalists/reporters doing the hard work.

They care solely about protecting capital and the interests of billionaires even if it props up this ridiculous charade of security for Bari fkn Weiss.

🤡 show

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

Bari Weiss gets the Trump endorsement, the logical endpoint of her fearless independent journalism at the Free Press

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

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.

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

Red Trump-style graphic with images of Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo. At the top it says, "I'm going to pick [Cuomo]." - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes Interview, 11-2-25 Then beneath it TRUMP ENDORSES CUOMO

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

deranged that we even need to think this way, but we need some sort of system where anyone who feels afraid to go to the polls can request a buddy to go with them

Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran The Senate minority leader says he’s still talking with Zohran Mamdani, despite the election being just days away.

"Schumer’s abstention only serves as yet another illustration of how detached Democratic leadership has become from the desires of their base, who crave drastic change." newrepublic.com/post/202554/...

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.

The policy being weaponized to inflict pain on the marginalized is intended to keep retailers from charging SNAP customers more than they charge non-SNAP customers.

This is the type of World Series that creates a new batch of baseball fans

Dodgers black magic. Can’t see how they lose now.

More Insta snaps from the let them eat cake ball at Mar a Lago

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

Jonathan Greenblatt tweeting his support for Kevin Roberts

Jonathan Greenblatt doing clean-up for Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation is the same as Kevin Roberts doing clean-up for Tucker Carlson is the same as Tucker Carlson doing clean-up for Nick Fuentes

I should also point out that Cuomo confused one black MSNBC host for another here as he talked about diversity being a weakness.

Kidnapping gardeners from a precinct that voted 65% for Trump is a decent way of creating no-longer-Republicans

From @WSJopinion: Zohran Mamdani's victory would imperil Jews and embolden totalitarians everywhere in the world. If New York falls, the entire free world may again totter on its foundations, writes @BHL.

Wall Street Journal editorial page is complete garbage normally but they trotted out another prime, bullshit, Islamophobic piece.

Bottom of the barrel stuff from Murdoch media once again.

They don’t go for subtle symbolism.
