β€œThese economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power.” #FDR 1936

SCOTUS ETHICS… a big joke newrepublic.com/article/2036...
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

This young man has it exactly right.
A tweet from β€œAdam Mockler @adammockler” reads: β€œStephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an β€˜open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself. They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

For all the Dems out there suggesting Mamdani do some kind of end zone dance after this meeting, stop. Why undo what has been achieved? Why try to interpret what is visible to all of us? This guy has a tough job ahead of him. Whatever he can do to succeed for NYers is what we should hope he does.
