It was a bravura moment of political diplomacy for Mamdani, but of course, the #BrokenTimes must find an extremist to give it "mixed reviews." The #MamdaniVendetta continues.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

How embarrassing.

Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

"The reality is that despite a variety of statements promising action at unspecified future dates, he has continued to treat Putin with deference. The Trump White House has taken no significant action against Russia to force a more equitable and lasting solution to the conflict."

This a huge problem…investors buying up homes to rent.
There should be a temporary moratorium on buying more than 2 homes (or some low number) until this crisis is lessened.
Someone is buying up American starter homes and pricing you out. But it’s not who you’ve been told. #EconSky #Housing #PolSky #RonanFarrow

Here’s what happened when the federal government ripped a 12-year old girl from her only living parent. An important story from @angieleventis.bsky.social and Laura Turbay @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/22/c...
Her dad was taken by immigration agents. Now a 12-year-old girl fears she’s lost her only living parent.
The separation illustrates a tragic consequence of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown: children left behind after a parent is detained or deported.

I defy anyone to show me one Republican lawmaker condemning the fact that masked thugs are rampaging through our neighbors & abducting non-citizens, permanent residents & citizens alike.

I also, wanna hear the justification for zip-tying small children & torturing people in detention facilities.

Pretty sure hundreds of people just here on Bluesky warned that the rush to mass-hire unvetted ICE agents was going to result in things like this.

And if it means the police and ICE become enemies, that would be awesome.
