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.

I have no more time for glib commentary abt 10/7 or Gaza—& my patience for polemicists evaporated long ago. So I’ll only say this piece moved me in ways both agonizing & inspiring. Yocheved Lifshitz is a remarkable human being—I hope to meet her or her family someday.

I never again want to hear a single word from those who oppose stacking the Supreme Court, if our democracy somehow survives & the worthless Dems manage to make it possible. I’ll stop there before saying something I’ll regret.🤬🤬🤬

Gee golly, what a surprise… (Note that Hamas attacked other Pals, Israel used that to attack Gaza again, after earlier Israeli violations.) Entire “deal” is a sham: get back Israeli hostages (wrongly taken anyway) & resume ethnic cleansing (goal all along).

Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph. It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.
Cowards: lifetime tenure, can say what they want where it shld be said, *their rulings,* not in anonymous “surveys.” Many ppl face grave risk defending rule of law w/o protections these “shadow critics” enjoy: let them speak openly. Best part was J. Wilkinson close, non sequitur, but always a treat.

The human race lived down to its resume. The best among us lived up to theirs—epitomized, I’ll never stop saying, by righteous Jews, including brave Israeli genocide scholars—among first to raise alarm: Amos Goldberg, Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Lee Mordechai. Even Ted Meron called for Netanyahu arrest.

President Trump's Approval Rating at 44, Slight Majority Disapprove: Deep Division Over Insurrection Act A new poll by John Zogby Strategies shows President Donald Trump's overall approval rating at 44%, with 51% disapproving — a slight drop from his August approval-disapproval rating of 46% and 52%. Respondents were also asked whether they'd support or oppose the President sending the National Guard to their city or a nearby city — 47% support and 49% oppose. Key demographics report a sharp division, revealing a growing intensity in the political landscape.
John Zogby remains among most reliable pollsters in the country, warned of 2016 debacle up to Election Day. His polling on Trump II shows basically no change in core support, which I read as auguring of armed conflict, as lines harden, two camps square off, & matters escalate—but that’s just me.

I didn't know draining the swamp meant Donald Trump building a $200 million ballroom for billionaires to bend the knee for special favors.

In complete disbelief, had to google this. Alas, it’s true: Trump’s planning to fire missiles in LA as part of military fetish event. I keep thinking we’ve reached peak idiocy & insanity—& I keep being wrong. No need to spin this as firing on LA: truth is damning enough.

💯Judge Young’s compelling opinion will be a historic marker, one way or the other, & pray God it’s not as an epitaph for our democracy. Here’s excellent explainer, starting with notable fact that this is a Reagan appointee judge—probably & sadly an essential requirement for saying what is today.

A beautiful & thoughtful response to what might have been a loaded question. Would only we had national leaders w even a trace of the humanity & decency shown here. Pope Leo so far is a fitting successor to peerless Francis.
