In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

Mockler: Zero evidence whatsoever of any weaponization. I've asked you this multiple times and you have no evidence yet, Trump tried to send Pam Bondi a dm. This should be embarrassing that you are defending this

Editors and reporters say they’ll continue to cover the US military thoroughly, with or without press credentials. Some well-known members of the Pentagon press corps have used the credentialing controversy to encourage tipsters to get in touch with them.

Brian Stelter @brianstelter.bsky.social · 11h

Reps for CNN, Reuters, The AP, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic and NPR all say that journalists from their newsrooms are not signing the new paperwork about Pentagon access. Newsmax says it doesn't intend to sign, either — a potentially significant sign of MAGA dissension.

"This protest, Johnson said, would be a 'hate America rally' run by 'the pro-Hamas wing and Antifa people.'

"[The first 'No Kings' event back in June], which attracted millions of people, was almost comedically star-spangled in its affect and remarkably peaceful in its execution."

Bill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 21h

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits say that Trump's threat of providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine is merely a part of the plan worked out with Putin in Anchorage, and after Trump's call with Putin, he will announce a change of plans and send nothing.

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.
