Two new polls out today for NYC mayor (including a Fox News poll) and both polls show Mamdani up 16 points. He is ahead on every major issue including crime. And in two way race with just Cuomo he beats him soundly. Let's do this NYC voters.

All of this is true enough as far as it goes. But even more problematic is the fact that when the U.S. Coast Guard interdicts suspect vessels, boarding and searching for drugs, a quarter of the time they find no contraband.

We're not just murdering drug smugglers.
We are murdering innocent people.

"An estimated 41 million children will flood neighborhoods across America tonight in search of tricks or treats."

They'll be eating the cats, they'll be eating the dogs.

Ernest Augustus, back in the news!

"The last royal to be stripped of a prince or princess title was Ernest Augustus in 1919, after siding with the Germans in World War I. "

The Economist is a pale shadow of its former self … no longer worth reading

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

Imagine a world in which music fans can memorise song lyrics without attending concerts … 🙄

A country with a great deal of eldercare experience …

"Affable." Not a word you see often in the geopolitical context, hahaha.

"I always believe that China's development goes hand in hand with your vision to make America great again," he told Trump.

Two master bullshitters.

If you plan to help out the hungry, do so without a camera.

@michaelluo.bsky.social I'm pretty sure Ruth Marcus has forgotten about the 12th Amendment, which specifically proscribes this: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

"That Fujisaki, He's a Great Guy" Around 10 years ago I had a chance to talk at length with Ichiro Fujisaki, who was at that time just retired as Japan’s ambassador to the United States, and is the great-great grandson of Hirobumi Ito...

The former Japanese ambassador to Washington, London and Brussels told me about having been given that advice at the very start of his career, by his boss, the ambassador to Jakarta.

One hundred percent.

The Japan fanboys will jump to call this a "win", but it's not a win.

Trump forgot Japan the second Air Force One took off for Korea.

The good news for Takaichi is that he also forgot any promises she made to him.

"But physically, if I can do it and I just don't feel like doing it, that's a whole different lens."

Not too many contemporary players are driven like you were, Michael.

Politicians are not bystanders to the affordability crisis. We can lower the cost of living and make life easier for New Yorkers in real and meaningful ways.

Buh-bye

Pretty much runs against the history of law enforcement, and the nation's prisons are full of people who would like their cases reconsidered in light of this interpretation.

We will not just let Californians in need go hungry.

Here's Axios misrepresenting how TikTok is being valued. Trump set the price, and ByteDance faced either agreeing, or facing a ban. There was no "valuation" and ByteDance was very far from "desperate to sell the app".

That’s true, and probably because I have spent my whole adult life in Asia I didn’t think about it, but yes, “Uncle Frank“ is not always your real uncle … 😉🤣

“News” that no one should care about …

The classic American “if a cultural norm does not align with my own cultural norms, it’s wrong” …

Three billion people in Asia use “auntie” and “uncle” as a term of respect for elders.

Actual aunts and uncles, other elder relatives, parents of boyfriends and girlfriends, taxi drivers, shop clerks.

Yes, crazy that some players played in both 18-inning WS games!

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

The longest game in World Series history took place in 2018, when the Dodgers beat the Red Sox on Max Muncy's home run in the 18th inning of Game 3 at Dodger Stadium. Prior to 2018, the longest World Series game was 14 innings, in 1916, 2005 and 2015.

In the 18th the Dodgers can bring in Yamamoto and they're good for another nine shutout innings ...
