11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

After I took my class to see Band's Visit on Bway, and we had gone to a nice sit-down pizza joint after, Alon turned up to hang and have a slice with them. They went out of their minds. What a fine actor and lovely man.

How Israel has controlled food distribution in Gaza from the Wall Street Journal:

Thanks!

CNN CHYRON: TRUMP ON GAZA AID, AS STARVATION CRISIS DEEPENS: "IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE AT LEAST A THANK YOU"

a moral degenerate

Israeli minister Ben Gvir calls Netanyahu 'morally bankrupt' for allowing any aid into Gaza — despite the starvation: "The only thing to send into Gaza is shells.”

REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

TRUMP: Say it?

R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food?

T: What is she saying?

SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza

Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths.

ENOUGH.

I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

Thanks. No dishing or speculating I get. I assume there's a legal or procedural reason, just haven't heard anyone name it. It's not like Todd Blanche is up to speed. Anyway, I look forward to the moment she, or some SDNY person, can speak.

That's NOT Epstein, Trump's little girl rape provider, you dumb fucking MAGA cultist!
That's Anthony Bourdain, chef, writer, & global storyteller, you dumb ass!
Instead of hate, get some culture you fucking dipshit.
==============

Is there a legal reason Maurene Comey, the SDNY prosecutor, can't discuss the Epstein case? She knows everything there is to know. She might have reasons to not to, but as a legal question?

“Nobody even talks about my cankles anymore. It’s just Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. Very sad. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

"You'll divide it up."

He went on to say he thinks 20 years is too short and she deserves a life sentence. "It's hard to put into words how evil this was."

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

I love how Trump waits for his caddie to toss the new ball on the ground before getting out of his cart so that he can pretend he just located it.

BREAKING: At least 62 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza despite a “tactical pause” to allow aid into the besieged enclave, medical sources told Al Jazeera.

“Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” - Tom Lehrer, RIP

Trump: "Today, I'm playing the best course I think in the world. Turnberry. Even though I own it, it's probably the best course in the world. And I look over the horizon and I see 9 windmills at the end of the 18th. I say, isn't that a shame?"

So worth a read. I'm, let's say, ambivalent about the Times' daily stuff, but they're excellent with these feature pieces.

$4 trillion.

When I did it with my students- which was a blast and it was actually quite good - I stole what I remembered from that amazing production. Couldn’t steal Del Close stuff tho. Only Del could do that.

It's different this time. No Howard Baker, let alone Goldwater or Sam Ervin, who riposted "Because I can understand English! It's my mother tongue." But I have to think someone is going to turn. It may take months, and it will be painstaking work.

Somebody has got to be the Hugh Sloan of this story. They're out there. It's a career-making story for the person who gets it, just ask Woodstein.

One of the best things about CT is having @chrismurphyct.bsky.social as your senator. Brave, sensible, articulate, and actually cares about voters and issues.
