Cuomo closing rally (scheduled for this evening) cancelled at the last minute.

Sorry, but if Cuomo is at 34% a week out from Election Day, he doesn't have a chance.

Surprising that the Mamdani campaign didn’t have anyone at the Boro Hall Greenmarket next to the early voting site , given the number of volunteers they’d working with.

I just visited New Hampshire.
Why?"

Observation: If someone wants to explain WHY they went to a political event in New Hampshire, that's not the reason they went to New Hampshire...

Except that elected Dems CAN'T remove Trump; it requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate.
This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.
The remedy for a president who both lies to your face and also expects you to make a deal with him is removal from office.

@politico.com EUR was a showpiece but not a suburb. It was the proposed site of the Esposizione Universale Roma, scheduled for 1942 which was cancelled due to WW2, and became a suburb in the post-war period. GARBATELLA was Mussolini's vision for a working-man's town.
