Mr. Causey gave us permission to run the letter here, adding, "Wishing you guys the best. Hang in there!"

The New York Daily News welcomes letters to the editor, unless of course those letters are critical of the layoffs at the New York Daily News.

They won't print those letters, it seems.

Great game though.

Easy block this guy

The print lede of the NY Post’s story about Mamdani and Trump posing with a mock-up cover of the NY Daily News: Mayor Mamdani snuck off to Washington, DC, Thursday to pitch President Trump on a housing project - and brought along a photoshopped version of a failing and irrelevant New York City newspaper in an attempt to flatter him.

Cry more, New York Post.

For the second straight day, the @nytimes.com writes about the stylistic decisions of the Daily News, but still no coverage or mention of the layoffs that slashed a quarter of our staff this month.

I must once again signal-boost my story about an alleged Trump assassination mastermind who would up getting tricked by a confidential informant into hiring two feds as hitmen.

The CI said he met the hitmen “in Bronx, in Harlem, that’s the place of all filth.”

Merchant: I will tell you. You tell me about your skills. Because you have done work for a long time-- Nadeem: [OV] I can father children [chuckles].

Here, the CI explains his particular set of skills.

In which a confidential informant for the feds essentially explains to the guy accused of plotting to assassinate Trump, don't worry, I know some real bad dudes you can hire.

Putting aside the political monopoly of it all, that’s one of the first things I thought of. CNN layoffs are going to be ROUGH.

If the end goal is to end journalism, this goes a long way to getting there.

Tales from Brooklyn Federal Court:

Would-be Trump assassin Asif Merchant was caught on video as he spread a napkin out on a hotel room table, put down a creamsicle-colored vape, and said, “This is the target. How will it die?”

FWIW: The 1975 "Ford to City" wood is a reference to the then-president refusing to bail NYC out of its fiscal crisis. Among the projects put on ice by that crisis? The Second Ave. Subway.

Hizzoner's mock-up, "Trump to City: Let's Build" comes as Trump is blocking funds to the Second Ave. Subway.

CORRECT CHOICE OF NEWSPAPER

I see the NY Times is covering the stories that matter, and not, I don't know, the layoffs that just happened at New York's Hometown Newspaper.

You know what I blame this on the breakdown of?

Remember, this guy then killed an MIT professor while they were stumbling to catch up

I feel like I’ve been summoned by the last three words of your skeet, like the Candyman!

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

Do you think Howard Safir would have tweeted it out back in the day?

Just in: Today's blizzard has been updated to a Blizzaga, which does twice as much damage but costs more MP.

Oops! You just triggered the “Killing Game” route! Better hide!

Cause of death: complications from wounds sustained at E3 in 2013.

Manner of death: Homicide

2 The defendants engaged in this criminal conduct entirely because of greed, lining their own pockets and those of their coconspirators in Colombia to whom they laundered tens of thousands of dollars of victims’ funds. In doing so, the defendants demonstrated a complete and utter disregard for the potentially life-altering consequences that their actions inflicted on their victims—vulnerable individuals who not only lost significant funds, but also missed their actual immigration court appearances. At least one victim was ordered deported in absentia as a result. Against this backdrop of the exceptionally serious nature of their charged criminal conduct, the defendants also present a serious flight risk given their robust connections overseas to other coconspirators and bank accounts, as well as their lack of permanent ties to the United States. Indeed, three of the defendants were arrested this afternoon while boarding a flight to Colombia using one-way tickets. As set forth in additional detail below, there is no condition or combination of conditions that can reasonably secure the defendants’ appearances in court as required or the safety of the community. Accordingly, the government respectfully requests that the Court detain the defendants pending trial. I. Factual Background1 As described in the indictment, for over two years, the defendants and their coconspirators portrayed themselves as immigration lawyers and operated a fictitious immigration law firm that they called “CM Bufete De Abogados Consultoria Migratoria.” After soliciting prospective “clients,” primarily on Facebook, the defendants and their coconspirators charged each of their victims hundreds to thousands of dollars for nonexistent legal advice and services. None of the defendants or their identified coconspirators were attorneys admitted or licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction in the United States.

After receiving victim funds, the defendants and their coconspirators pretended as if they were actually representing their “clients.” They transmitted fraudulent documents that appeared official on their face and included symbols of agencies of the United States government. Some of these documents referenced the victims’ actual cases in immigration court and/or reflected that the victims’ pending cases had been successfully resolved. In reality, none of these were legitimate documents issued by any United States government agency. The defendants and their coconspirators also facilitated sham immigration proceedings held on video, including asylum interviews and court appearances. While legitimate immigration proceedings are conducted entirely in English, the participants in the scheme spoke in Spanish to lull the victims into a false sense of security. During these videoconferences, the impersonators asked the victims sensitive questions and requested the victims’ personal identifying information. Several of these fictitious proceedings featured impersonators of immigration judges, agents from the United States Customs and Border Protection and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and immigration lawyers. They wore judicial robes and law enforcement uniforms and appeared in front of backgrounds that resembled courtrooms and government offices, including featuring agency seals and flags.

Insane indictment out of EDNY in Long Island today. Suspects charged with running a sham immigration law firm that staged fake immigration proceedings -- complete with fake judges in judicial robes.

As reporters we need to do more of this!

The residents of 23 Fillmore Pl. initially wouldn't talk to reporters -- at one point, a woman threatened to stab a reporter in the neck and sic a dog on him -- but they eventually filed onto the porch to dispute how police said the night went down.

Reminds me of the time someone threatened to sic a dog on @robwhart.bsky.social for door-knocking a Staten Island family after a big fireworks bust.

I made sure to include it in the copy!
