Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

🚨NEW: After we revealed Russ Vought's "put them in trauma" video, I spent the next year reporting on him, his influence, and his vision for America.

Yes, I got *new* recordings & videos of Vought.

Here is the story.

Donald Trump’s Deep-State Wrecking Ball
Russell Vought is using the White House budget office to lay waste to the federal bureaucracy—firing workers, decimating agencies, and testing the rule of law.

there’s a chance Cuomo could come in third
Cuomo concedes it'll be "very, very hard mathmatecially" for him to win on Nov. 4 if Sliwa stays in the race.

He says local GOP "bosses" are keeping Sliwa in the race because Mayor Mamdani would be a good foil for Trump and national Republicans.

No, they're doing it because NYC Republicans still hate your guts. That's been clear for a while and was on display last night, when Sliwa clearly hated Cuomo more than Mamdani

this, and measures of on-hand liquidity often don’t take into consideration the losses banks would have to sustain to liquidate their investment portfolio. like sure, you have $1Bn in US Treasuries, but your unrealized loss position is like 20% of capital
This FDIC chart on US banks' unrealized losses is crazy www.fdic.gov/news/speeche...

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.
it’s also somewhat amusing that US politics is so myopically focused on Israel that nobody has pressed him on what he thinks of Narendra Modi as a Gujarati Muslim
it’s a stupid litmus test, but hilariously it is one that Mamdani would pass
No one is ever asked by moderators and by Democratic leadership if they recognize any of these states "right" to exist as an Islamic state because everyone agrees that this would be a stupid and ridiculous litmus test.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses.

If you're running in a Dem primary for Senate, preemptively endorsing the filibuster is already a red flag.

... but not knowing the filibuster for lower court judges has been gone for more than a decade is even worse, it's indisputable evidence of incompetence.
Oh this is actually worse, we haven't had a judicial filibuster since 2013 dawg

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo.

If you know the problem in this city is that your rent is too high, vote for me.

Mamdani rebuts Cuomo: You just heard him acknowledge that rent prices are too high and his solution is to evict me and my wife. If you think my rent is too low vote for him. If you think your rent is too high vote for me

[trying to let it go, but I can’t let it go]

IT’S NOT RENT CONTROL

a tiny, tiny sliver of NYC’s housing stock is rent controlled, an old an nearly obsolete policy. Mamdani has said many times it’s rent stabilization, which is quite common (1M apts) and different.

Cuomo should know this imho!
who IS he
The newsroom debate watch party lowkey lost it when Sliwa just now revealed that he does not have a credit card (he has a debit card)
it’s incumbent upon Democratic state legislatures in Democratic-controlled states to eliminate every single Republican district possible. the era of unilateral disarmament is over.
We did the math and the net effect of the Supreme Court nerfing the Voting Rights Act, after all the other gerrymandering, is likely that the maps take a consistent, pro-Republican bias roughly matching 2018’s — breakable, but it would be tough. www.theargumentmag.com/p/is-the-sup...
Is the Supreme Court going to doom the Dems? We did the math.
Gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act will make it much harder for Democrats to win the House, but not impossible.
