Been saying this for awhile now and no one believes me: the reason the NYT affirmatively likes Trump and wants him to succeed is because he's good for their business

We saw this in Trump I too: when there's daily chaos, more ppl subscribe to more media outlets to keep track

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2h

The New York Times Company’s digital subscriptions and advertising surged in the latest quarter, leading to a 26.1% jump in adjusted operating profit compared with a year earlier, the company said Wednesday.

The Times’s Profit Jumps With 460,000 More Subscribers

The Times now has 12.33 million total subscribers to all of its products. It has said it is aiming for 15 million by the end of 2027.

Just realized that if Curtis Sliwa turned town $10 million to drop out because of how much he hated Andrew Cuomo, that Eric Adams -- who also hated Cuomo! -- 100% DID take that offer when he dropped out lmaooooo.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

This is substantively important for Americans to know about, because it includes a sworn deposition from the CBP point person about how the Trump administration directed him to use his powers, including against protestors. The Trump administration says the court should not release his testimony.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Sliwa being the only one to follow the tradition of conceding to your opponent is so telling of the state of US politics. It has all become reduced to pettiness and silliness that only uses tradition and norms as a cudgel.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Andrew Cuomo ran as an independent because he was so wounded that he lowered himself to running for mayor of a city he hates and still lost. Now he has lost twice at a thing he thought beneath him. Our joy at Zohran’s win is nothing compared to that man’s despair tonight

With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory.

The details are horrifying.

Many of them held legal status but were unable to immediately produce their documentation to the agents, according to their manager.
