Purely as a selfish matter, this sounds exhausting.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

His ONLY super power is exactly what his son in law once bragged about: He has no bottom. He will simply do the unimaginable thing every time. And because the Republican party has essentially abandoned the constitutional order, we all have to live in a banana republic.

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

Okay, *now you can start to worry about data being manipulated.

Having a sundowning mercantilist sex pest as president is not, it turns out, good for the economy. Who could've predicted, except anyone with even a passing understanding of how global trade works.

These little missteps are fun because they either suggest he's losing a step upstairs or deliberately lying about his opponent on cable television.

Craziest thing that's ever happened to him on an island

This man received five deferments from serving in Vietnam, at least one because of a false claim that his feet didn't work right. So he can impose this policy if he can do 20 pushups, 5 pullups and a 13 minute mile. I'd pay an embarrassing amount of money to watch him try.

There are few places where my love for cars intersects with my love for urban policy but here is one them: Kei trucks are what cities need. Useful, reliable, and the correct size.

Also: F = MA, so the if the M is smaller, the F is smaller and we get fewer dead NYers (a goal we used to have).

They were probably in the same basket (labeled "do not read; bad for cause") that the FBI put all the complaints against Kavanaugh that they didn't follow up on.

This, but for a much broader set of faithless attorneys.

What's immensely depressing is that this analysis, which I think might be right, has nothing to do with whether gay couples have any rights those chuckleheads might want to protect.

Alito is probably frothing at the mouth with excitement. He'll put up one of his favorite flags, and blame his wife.

lol the guy in the white house pardoned an entire class of people whose defining quality was that they attacked law enforcement officers to try and overturn a legitimate election. I'm not concerned about our Mayor having gently mocked a cop who cried over the results of that same election.

Comptroller?

Unless state bars start taking seriously their responsibility to regulate the use of law licenses, there really isn't much of a point to the "law profession" being something distinct from just "argumentative asshole." Genuinely, what purpose do we serve?

The complicity of licensed attorneys in what we're all experiencing is a shame that our profession won't recover from in my lifetime. The thing we swear to uphold and protect, as a condition of our license, is a thing that many lawyers have simply abandoned in pursuit of personal aggrandizement.

NYT got played again, but @brandyjensen.bsky.social offers some clarity:

"That hunger will come for those already struggling to thrive makes the situation more horrifying, not less, provided you are a person who has not systematically shriveled your own moral instincts down to nothing."

I should say the prosecution was righteous and the corruption was well-documented but whatever you get it.

It really is a bad thing that Hochul did not remove Adams when it was revealed that he was willing to sell out immigrant NYers to obtain relief from a (righteous and well-documented) criminal prosecution for low-rent corruption. He showed us his character, and we didn't care enough to deal with it.

This tone reminds me of how private waste management was on Staten Island when I was growing up. Also landscaping. You'd be like hey can I hire you? They'd ask where you live and then politely demur, saying someone else "has that area."

Unrelated but Paul Castellano's mansion was on Staten Island.

Student course evaluations that are collected on an anonymous basis at the end of each semester will be regularly reviewed to identify any reports of antisemitism, which will be promptly referred to OECR for appropriate action.

From the Brown settlement. Everyone who signed off on this is a coward and an idiot and should have it follow them the rest of their lives. They are complicit in a censorship regime that has been and will be compared to the Red Scares.

The NY Post approach to policymaking. Anecdata over actual data.

Don't miss this either. When the city is forced to make ridiculous arguments in support of a bad policy, @davecolon.bsky.social is on it.

I am loving these @nyc.streetsblog.org videos.

The Law Department was really in a bad spot here - the record is just replete with evidence that Adams' decision deliberately overlooked the danger to cyclists and pedestrians - and Emily Lipstein does a good job explaining why.

Like I could see a commish being brought in to stop the revolving door of Adams' corrupt buddies as a good thing. But not when the policies she enacts are broadly consistent with Adams' rotten deal with DHS and that are otherwise inexplicable no matter how many time she claims to be data driven.

Obviously she should not be Mamdani's. He seems policy oriented rather than whatever you can call Adams.

I had assumed that it was simple negligence that led Epstein to be able to end his life, since I have been to MCC many times and dealt with that whole . . . mess. But this story raises serious questions about that explanation.

Under Tisch, the NYPD has diverted resources from addressing a population that causes nearly every traffic death (and serious injury) in this city to running a dragnet on immigrant e-bike riders, who do not.

She really is Adams' police commissioner.

Today is a good day — any day is a good day — to read and share this February resignation letter from SDNY prosecutor Hagan Scotten to Emil Bove.

It’s the type of thing you show your kids as an example of how to be.
