STATEHOOD FOR D.C.

Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need

It is illegal but not empty. He will do it, legality be damned

It's really wild for someone to see the current court, that has 6 unaccountable crazy people whose brains are addled by Fox News, and say "Oh yeah, but they would never do this crazy thing."

It’s like they watched Loki’s “Freedom from freedom” speech in the first Avengers movie and were like “Yeah, that sounds great actually”

It really is wild to see so many Americans treat being subservient to a tyrant, even if it means their humiliation, as preferable to the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship.

Also the White House press corps is a disgrace.

So there are several black mayors who are leading cities with declining crime rates and the administration is trying to steal credit.

So he's going after cities with black mayors. Got it

It continues to hold up.

It’s giving

The thing that’s crazy is that the podcast before this one Pod Save America were saying “Why isn’t anyone pushing back hard enough?”

All of America: “we want our politicians to be authentic and say what they believe”
Pete Buttigieg: “But will that test well in focus groups?”

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

Not to mention being a deep dish city would be a bad thing in the first place to a New Yorker.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.

it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Then he brings out Common and Kanye West to do a diss track of MF Doom

“My name is Andre Cuomo and I’m here to say,
That I should be the mayor of New York Ci-Itaaayyyy.”

Metroid Prime still holds up.

He’s out there stumping for the Norwood Park vote

I also hear he's likely to get the Southside Irish vote.

Also in this tweet he wants people to judge him by his record which includes *checks notes* killing a bunch of grandmas and being a sex pest. Good strategy all around.

Chicagoan here. Does Cuomo like deep-dish pizza? I always thought that New Yorkers hated deep dish (see John Stewart's famous rant). Guess he's trying to court the vote in Norwood and Edision Parks.

He used AI to write this didn’t he

"Mr. Cuomo, do you have what it takes to run NYC?"
"Have seen how much money I pay people to talk shit for me? I think I'm good."

the thing to take from Cuomo—a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albany—having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

World War II pro-American propaganda.

I get the same feeling watching a James Carville interview.
