The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Worth remembering…

Cuomo Earned Almost $5 Million From Consulting in 2024, Returns Show

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

the mods of this place will strangle it to death trying to avoid it having the reputation it already has and unavoidably will always have

It’s the first of the month, a day that brings dread and uncertainty for so many struggling tenants.

And for the 2+ million New Yorkers in stabilized apartments, this month means another rent hike — the fourth in a row under this Mayor.

But change is coming.

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act?

TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on.

C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

SHAW!!

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford.

Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

This is an Epstein shutdown.

The fact that Johnson said "on your side are as well"...he just admitted to thinking Trump's bugfuck crazy. He still won't do shit about it though.

"The president is unwell."
"A lot of people on your side are as well."

"He's the fucking president!!! He has the nuclear codes! Is destroying the economy because he cannot remember what he did yesterday!"

"Oh, yeah, I guess that is different than a senator. DUUUUH."

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.”

More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

So much chaos, just to protect monsters in the Epstein files.

BASH: Are you okay w/ the military using American cities as 'training grounds'?

JOHNSON: I don't know what's being implied by that

B: It suggests troops are going to be in cities & use them military training

J: That's been very beneficial for the Guard

B: So it's ok?

J: It's a win-win scenario

An AI generated image of Andrew Cuomo driving a train.

An AI generated image of Andrew Cuomo working on the outside of a building.

An AI generated image of Andrew Cuomo on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

Probably just a coincidence.
