this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free
Exactly. It's crystal clear. And as a former staff attorney for a state trial court, I am APPALLED that this man is still sitting in jail. And I worked in one of the most conservative counties in the country. It's about as frivolous a charge as you can get.
This is absolutely bonkers. And we're headed for more of this.
UPDATE — PERRY COUNTY, TN: LARRY BUSHART IS STILL in jail since 9/22, bail at $2 million (!!), for posting a “we have to get over it” Trump meme after Kirk’s murder

(seems Sheriff Weems didn’t realize “Perry High” Trump referred to in the meme is in Iowa) theintercept.com/2025/10/23/c...
Well he won't do anything about Big Balls either, so I guess he's come full circle.
Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."

Didn't know that, and yes, it makes going all in on Platner even dumber. This guy may have a normie haircut, but:

*Katie Porter's chief of staff
*VP of End Citizens United
*Director of democracyFirst
*Backs an array of big ideas

Seems like he's got all your progressive boxes checked!
Also, Jordon Wood is RIGHT THERE for people who think Mills is too old! (Not a Mainer, but I heard and interview with Wood a while back and was impressed.)

Kinda wild that Mamdani and Sliwa are the guys who won their primaries and there has been open, nonstop meddling to overturn that will of the voters and install the disgraced former governor and it’s largely being covered like this is perfectly normal shit
I have very little hope that things will get better in my lifetime. There are too many structural impediments. But I won’t stop working for it, mostly for this reason.
This is most of it for me.
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” — Thomas Paine

That’s what today was about.
No crowns. No chaos. Just neighbors, standing up for what’s right.

So the next generation doesn’t have to. #NoKings

Cuomo had better learn how to say “Mayor Mamdani” correctly, because he got smoked last night.🔥
Glad I didn’t have to read too far to see this. He doesn’t need a focus group to tell him what to believe in. Thus it comes naturally. We’re all enthusiastic when we believe deeply.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Listen, I know this is a serious matter, but I nearly snorted soda up my nose at "make soybeans, AND OTHER ROW CROPS, great again!"

AND OTHER ROW CROPS LETS NOT FORGET TO MAKE THEM GREAT AGAIN TOO
Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.
Fuckin yikes, man
Oh damn. Now I have to go to South America.
