Cuomo closes his campaign for NYC Mayor with an appeal to white supremacy Cuomo says diversity is a "weakness"

Andrew Cuomo's closing message is diversity can be a "weakness." That's MAGA BS talking point. Cuomo wants to be Mayor of the most diverse city in nation yet he has run a campaign like he's running for GOP nomination for Pres. He will lose. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/cuomo-clos...

Will Paramount Cancel Jon Stewart? The β€œDaily Show” host talks with David Remnick about his contract with Paramount Skydance, the government’s attack on political satire, and how our institutions got so weak.

β€œWe’re in a bad situation, but it’s not just the shittiness of Trump. It’s the passivity of the Democratic Party to stick with a status quo that most people felt was not working.” Jon Stewart talks with David Remnick.

Please adopt from local shelters. There is no need to get a designer dog when we are euthanizing 10,000 a month in California alone. We are wiping out entire litters of puppies. Devastating.

By a 2 to 1 margin, Americans say Trump has gone too far in trying to expand the power of the presidency and lay off government workers. And by large margins, they say he has gone too far in sending troops into cities, attacking universities and ending DEI programs.

Jeffries: "Why have House Republicans remained on a taxpayer funded vacation for the last 6 weeks? Of course they are unserious as it relates to reopening the government. Why has Trump spent more time on the golf course, including this weekend, than he has talking to Democrats on Capitol Hill?"

Congratulations to the secret Democratic mole at Mar-a-Lago who suggested Trump hold a β€œGreat Gatsby” themed party during a government shutdown just as food assistance was being suspended and federal employees were missing another paycheck. Masterfully done, sir.

NSL4A condemns the Trump Administration’s authorization of lethal strikes in South American waters β€” carried out on paltry intelligence, without congressional authorization, and in violation of U.S. and international law.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly. It’s all confirmation that you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times.

Staying Human in Inhumane Times I may not know you, but I think I know something about you.

I hear the nagging question you ask inside your head a few hundred times a day: β€œIs it me, or has a huge portion of this country lost its mind?”

It isn’t you...

β€œWould Americans be so accepting if, instead of observing the detached remoteness of a missile from the clouds, we watched our servicemen board the vessels and simply execute everyone on board without asking a single question?

It is, in every way, the same thing.”

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely β€œaffiliated” with β€œnarco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what β€œaffiliated” even means!

Food Stamp Cuts Expose Trump’s Strategy to Use Shutdown to Advance Agenda
The president has stretched the limits of his powers to help those at the heart of his agenda, not the many in greatest need.

Food Stamp Cuts Expose Trump’s Strategy to Use Shutdown to Advance Agenda The president has stretched the limits of his powers to help those at the heart of his agenda, not the many in greatest need.

The New York Times likes to say Trump "has stretched the limits of his powers” and β€œtests the boundaries of the presidency.” But this is not a test or a stretching exercise. He’s a lawless politician building a dictatorship. Say it. 🧡 1/3
