Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Happy Italian Heritage Day for all Italians except Columbus and Mussolini (no, the Borgias were Spanish).

Today, a Trump-picked prosecutor indicted AG Tish James in a politically motivated attack aimed at AG James--who's held Trump accountable. We are having a rapid response rally TOMORROW at 5:30PM in Foley Square.

I wanted to let a bit of time pass since this particular episode of The Last of Us aired, but how cool is that scene where Catherine O'Hara character is reading Earth Abides (sci-fi fans will get the reference)?

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.
This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

None of this is based on actual crime statistics, btw. It’s based on Trump’s brain calcifying in the late 1980s and his deeply ingrained racism.
Trump mentions NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland, says "they're so far gone," and adds, "this will go further. We'll starting very strongly with DC."

Advantage of a CitiBike membership. Coming home from Tribeca I faced delays on 4/5 of the Jackson Heights trains. Only the 7 wasn't delayed and that was nowhere near downtown, but it less than a 1/2 hour to get to the Hudson Yards stop.

More fun wordplay from The Economist
An opinion piece on the impact of tariffs had the title "Suddenly, then gradually", an transposition of a line in the Sun Also Rises, where a character describes how he became bankrupt -- "Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Andrew Cuomo has the experiences and character to save the nation. He is an exceptional choice for mayor of New York, a city I’ve never stayed in for more than 45 minutes. I’m afraid to cross a street that has more than two lanes. I think the American Airlines chatbot is a real person who likes me

The choice between Cuomo and Mamdani comes down to this--Mamdani can make up for being light on experience by hiring really good commissioners and deputy mayors; Cuomo can't undo being a corrupt, narcissistic, bully.

The characterization of the subway is stuck in mid-pandemic mindset and honestly who cares about these bus fare numbers that much? Yeah fare evasion is bad but this isn’t a good reason to hand the mayoralty to an inept sex creep out for revenge. What a useless editorial board.
