All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

In addition to the fact that Cuomo is a creep, he devised a system to keep Republicans in control of the NYS legislature for years. He constantly fucked over New York City as governor, even though we are 45% of the state’s population, because he was so preoccupied with upstate conservatives.

Judge says Trump administration must fund SNAP. And, what to know about NYC's election Two judges have ordered the Trump administration to fund SNAP benefits. And, New York City voters head to the polls tomorrow to choose between Zohran Mamdani and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race.

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

It’s not just the facade: Team Trump has wrecked much of the White House’s East Wing By Tuesday afternoon, it appeared obvious that a significant portion of the East Wing has been demolished, the president's earlier vows notwithstanding.

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall?

What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it?

Trump approves disaster declarations for red states, as blue states go without “President Trump and his administration have politicized disaster relief,” one governor said, “and our communities are the ones who will pay the price.”

"The president’s statement announcing the relief funding emphasized the number of times he won Missouri’s electoral votes, as if there were some kind of connection between his political support in the state and his eagerness to provide disaster aid..."
