Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

As #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn, GOP extremists are fine forcing military families to serve without pay—leaving parents to beg for childcare they can’t afford. Republicans wave flags at parades, then abandon the very people who defend this country when they need help most.

And then when someone retires from active duty, they get even less respect.
Even, maybe especially, if they come home damaged

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

I’ll admit that I am weird enough to want my taxes to pay for education help for disabled kids in America,

rather than bailing out Argentina.

I for one appreciate that they’re making it easy for journalists without press credentials to still watch the inner workings of their department. It’s like one of those restaurants with an open kitchen.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

How many ways is maga trying to cheat in next year’s midterm elections?

1. Destroy the Voter’s Rights Act via SCOTUS

2. Gerrymander districts

3. End mail-in voting

4. End early voting

5. End weekend voting

6. End absentee voting

What did I miss?…

The case before the Supreme Court is called Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting dispute that has become a major test of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the landmark civil rights law designed to protect Black Americans and other minorities from being shut out of political representation.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

I always thought there were only two ways for a judge to respond to any motion.

Turns out there are three:
A. Request granted.
B. Request denied.
C. GTFOH.
