I agree, but both songs written by LA artists. Making fun of your own city is just a tiny bit better, but the song isn't as catchy.

In the 1st question of his brief interview with Mamdani. Anderson Cooper reports Trump’s strongman threats to punish NYC if the Mayoral candidate is elected, as if he gets to select where funding goes according to his whims, & then asks whether voters will find it “worth the hassle” to vote for him.

Coooper: Recently, you heard President Trump suggest he is going to withhold federal funding and possibly send in National Guard troops if you’re elected. Andrew Cuomo kind of amplified that. What do you have to say to New Yorkers who say, is this worth the hassle of losing perhaps a lot of money in federal funding if you become the mayor?

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”

You can't make this up.

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.”

“Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

This is the consistent message of most Democrats I've covered this year, but Obama (duh) is better at selling it.

I dislike the "they can't just be anti-Trump" CW. He's president, of course they'll run against him. Much odder that Rs are still doing Biden and 2016 election probes.

Obama: "The economy has been really good for some of Trump's billionaire friends. It's been good for some finance bros and well-connected corporations who have seen their tax bill go down. But for ordinary families, costs have not gone down, they've gone up."

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants

Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.
