The most depressing part of this Trump era: The sheer number of institutions (the press, universities, etc) that have *willingly* allowed this man to degrade them.
You’d think basic institutional self-preservation would kick in. Nope! Just system after system shrugging as Trump kicks them down.

In 2009, the Obama White House wouldn't let Fox News take part in a press pool with Kenneth Feinberg. CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC all refused to take part in the interview in solidarity
Now, the president openly attacks reporters and not a single news organization will fight back.

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

it’s pretty disturbing how one of the least virtuous people on the planet is also the most powerful
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Very conflicted about how I feel about the designation of two new historic districts in Victorian Flatbush.
An insanely beautiful neighborhood, but central Brooklyn can’t afford (literally!) to keep freezing itself in amber as rents and home prices skyrocket.

The reason why so many foreigners pose as MAGA influencers is because the formula is pretty basic. Post:
1. Immigrants cause 90% of our problems.
2. The other 10% are trans people.
3. Trump is the greatest.
4. All Dems are Marxists who hate America.
5. All news is fake.

In September, I watched the two-part HBO documentary on Billy Joel (recommended!). So I started looking over album covers.
I started staring at the “An Innocent Man” cover and knew this was obviously in Manhattan, but I became obsessed with finding the location.
Answer: Mercer Street in SoHo.

I was not the first person to say, but it is fascinating to look back at the far-left anger at Kamala for doing two campaign stops with Liz Cheney, and how everyone is enamored with Mamdani’s successful meeting with Trump.
Part of it is leftists hate Democrats, but sexism clearly a factor here.

Yes, the “just politely ask them to stop” theory of combating antisocial behavior on transit or in public spaces fails, because deep down we all understand that many of the people who behave like that are also likely to become aggressive or violent if confronted.
"The chatty subway rider allegedly responded by punching the victim several times in the face before stabbing him in the abdomen, according to police."
This is why so many of us are afraid to confront rule-breakers on transit and want more police.

Also: I can't criticize the Mayor-elect for doing this.
The current WH is vile, but he cannot accomplish much if this city is at war with the federal gov't. Letting Trump have this shared charisma fest, and walk away feeling happy, will help a lot of New Yorkers.
Uneasy, but smart politics.

I think when Biden was president, Republicans mostly understood that voters wanted an impossible fall in the nominal price level so Trump should promise them that.
But now that Trump is president, voters want him to deliver on his impossible promise and he is semi-fucked.

Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:
Overall econ approval: 36-64
On tariffs: 37-63
On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!)

This new ADA entrance to the Church Ave station opened just over a week ago, and the Manhattan-bound elevator is already out of service.
The MTA needs to do so much better than this endless shoddy work.

Trump: "They had restrictions on water. It comes down from heaven. You want to wash your hands, or like me, you wash your hair. I lather up. There's no water. I won't mention the 3rd item in the bc I always get criticized. If you don't know what I'm talking about you shouldn't be owning a McDonalds"

Maddening trip with @mtalirr.bsky.social this evening. Our train lost 5 minutes in 4 stations simply because the conductor was never in position to operate the doors at stations, too busy collecting tickets like it’s 1895. Every aspect of this railroad’s operation is sloppy and insulting to riders.
