At Thanksgiving, we were talking about how wonderful it will be to have a Mayor who actually loves New York City. The last one was probably Ed Koch.

Grotesquely inappropriate affect. Hoping to use this as a reason to kill civilians at will, presumably.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.
It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

There was a terrible shooting today in one of the most protected places in the world, a couple of blocks from the White House. Please wait until accurate information is released, and don't share unreliable speculation of any kind. All we know for sure is that this is another American tragedy.

If you needed another reason to support Aftyn Behn, keep in mind what a devastating blow her victory would be for Trumpism and the Republican Party. This is the rare race with national implications, and @aftynbehn.bsky.social is a stellar candidate!

Cutting USAID alone has already resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, with millions more to come.
Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

Yep. Everything feels so entirely--odd.
I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment.
There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

"Things happen."
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

This would have been an entirely reasonable way to go. Why don't you understand that, @democrats.senate.gov ?
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."
