The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.
Interesting cover from NY Post

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

I kept saying I understood that they needed to have a conversation with FedEx and my question is: why do I have to wait while they have that conversation? So I guess I have to wait while they decide whether FedEx is going to blame me, which is nuts

It's so funny to me that the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024 was a former prosecutor who made that a part of her pitch, and the latest postmortem from The (centrist) Groups says "voters reject Democratic policies like prison abolitionism."
My money don’t giggle giggle, it bawls.
Not a fucking single word of this is good. This is all horrible.
Then why are you having to explain its “correct” sound with a different letter, hm?
My husband and I typically have a little giggle whenever a series, movie, or book say out loud its name (or the name of the chapter or episode).

It’s just our little thing; a moment of silly joy.

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

If an adult finds a dementia test "hard," and considers his ability to answer test questions a kindergartener could ace so impressive he brags about it, I don't think that person should be president. It's a challenging job with many responsibilities.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

We have reached the point where the *American Bar Association* cannot find attorneys willing to represent them in litigation against the Trump administration.

And here I was, thinking it was just known as “breaking the law.”

You’re telling me there’s a *strategy* here? Golly, I’m such a rube.
By proceeding with the demolition of the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom, President Donald Trump forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."
How Trump Demolished the White House East Wing
By putting the demolition of the East Wing before the necessary approvals for his ballroom, President Donald Trump borrowed a tactic known as “stake-driving” to force an outcome.

It’s so funny to me that Andrew Cuomos scandals were so large that they even brought down his own brother and still Andrew is like “my biggest regret is the social media”

It is hard to explain to non-Harvard folks how WILD this is but maybe if I say “this is where Ross Douthat cut his teeth” it starts to make sense?

The fact that they think they have a culture problem means that even they are panicked about how Nazi they are which means very Nazi 🙃

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Know what would prevent insurance premiums from spiking 100%, 500%, 2000%—like we're seeing right now?

Abolish HELL Corps (Health Exploitation Limited Liability) Corps.

Private for profit insurance is a scam. We need our taxes to pay for universal healthcare. It's more affordable & a human right.
