I’d say they’re not bending the knee so much as lining up at the trough.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

Elon Endorses Cuomo, with pictures of Adnrew Cuomo and Elon Musk

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

A screenshot of a post on X from Andrew Cuomo showing him sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden next to Mayor Eric Adams. 

The tweet says: "No better way to celebrate winning tonight's debate than making it to the @nyknicks game in time for the 2nd half."

Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera
Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

A pre-dog-walk 🧡 on the pandemic.

To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.

I love Hart too. My Romance and Wait Till You See Her both sung at our wedding. I heard from someone who would know that Sondheim really didn't like Hart's lyrics. Have you heard that?

So. I've been on field manual labor crews where most of my coworkers were convicts.

I've also worked with a lot of tech companies on automating farms.

And this press conference is incredible. Rollins hasn't the foggiest clue what she's on about.

AOC: This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt. It militarizes our entire economy. It strips away health care and basic dignity of the American people for what? To give Elon Musk a tax break.. We cannot stand for it. And we will not support it. You should be ashamed

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill.

Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW.

Three months in and they’ve already lost the country faster than any White House in decades. From here on out it’s just them whining about about how everyone is being mean to them.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it. A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are disrupting a breakthrough cancer treatment so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Tell your friends.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

This whole thing was bleak throughout. And had it gone the other way it would have been only slightly less bleak. We face the worlds choices as they come. That's life. The one thing that came out of this that was to me a positive was a window of about 24 hrs when senators were cutting short ...
