An image with four panels of a man on a bus who says to Zohran, “How do you navigate making it free and also not being seen as a socialist?”

“Well, I’m not really worried about that part.”

I’m not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips.

There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer.

That does upset me.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

1. Now they are going after adult recreational leagues.

AG Ken Paxton is attempting to use consumer protection laws to argue that even allowing a trans person to compete in a rec league is engaging in "deceptive practices."

This could be a horrible precedent.

The new cottage guests are from Philly. Within moments of meeting the dude exclaimed “I love shitting in that shack!” And when I explained how I use the composted material he was like “happy to fertilize!”

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide

Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside.

"With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani.

"And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.
