It does feel like at this point that Silwa is still in the race purely to say fuck you to Cuomo.

the best part of the NYC mayoral race is of course Zohran

but a close second is watching everyone on the left adopt Curtis Sliwa as our Problematic Uncle Who Also Really Hates Andrew Cuomo

New York Post editorial board calls on Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa to drop out to boost independent candidate Andrew Cuomo: nypost.com/2025/10/20/o...

Swallow the bitter pill, Curtis Sliwa — quit the race to stop Zohran Mamdani

It’s time for Curtis Sliwa to face reality, and admit that the city’s best hope to avoid the disaster of a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty is for him to drop out of the race.

The GOP wants TACO to be king.

It’s that simple.

They think we hate America,

but we can clearly see that they actually HATE the Constitution.

"Every tyrant tries to convince the public that support for them is all but universal and opposition is both dangerous and futile. Trump will keep saying that. But after No Kings, it will be even harder to believe than it was before." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.

Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

I mean part of the reason its normalized is because
*exceptional amounts of flailing back at Trump's first term, more flailing at the time between*

At this point I don't think most people even care about it.

I mean from a certain pov, he's not wrong, but the side that really needs to do it right now is the GOP more than the Dems.
Also wonder if the Senator realizes this statement includes him.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La.: “This shutdown will stop when everybody takes their egos out back and shoots them. And that hasn’t happened yet. Everybody's still up on their high horse. And I thought they would have fallen off by now. But they haven't. So the soap opera continues.”

Welcome home to the new Illinois Veterans' Home at Quincy.

This was one of the largest and most important projects in our Rebuild Illinois capital construction program.

I'm so proud to see that promise in action — and make clear to our veterans that our state is on your side.

Its a good reminder that the Judicial System is not a 100% guarantee, and that its not just SCOTUS that can fuck us all over.

Appeals court allows Trump administration to deploy National Guard in Portland.

Don’t be sad…be angry…and then channel that anger…into constructive action.

It’s the most effective way to say, “Stick it in your ass, Donald. We never quit!”

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy.

Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

In my experience, this is a general internet problem of some people just taking everything at face value and not being able to detect or guess at any nuance due to it being text based and not being said aloud.

one of the consistently interesting things about ACA criticism since it was signed into law is how critics discount or ignore the medicaid expansion

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

This is basically what I used to wear in Pokemon X/Y! I am so glad that the top and skirt made a comeback 🩷 It brings me so much nostalgia!

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop
