My F train that was so crowded it couldn’t reliably get its doors closed at every stop between Jay St and Broadway-Lafayette — and I’ve never been more frustrated with the NYCT bureaucracy for cooking up literally every imaginable reason to not go all in on open gangways.

My neighbor told me his National Assembly keeps rejecting his prime ministers so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the cabinet and gets a new PM so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding PMs to the National Assembly and then his daughter started crying.
French prime minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned less than a month after his appointment, saying the conditions did not exist in the National Assembly for him to continue on in his job.

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously.
Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

Everyone in the Cuomo donor class with PTSD over how bad "Gov. Cuomo" was when he had power were still afraid of him when he was out of office, and they failed to realize how deeply unpopular he is. Big whiff. These folks really need to get to know the New York Politics Knowers a bit more.
This is the 2nd poll today that shows how everyone hates Andrew Cuomo. The anti-Mamdani crowd really picked the worst candidate to hitch their wagon to.
