Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

I frequently criticize the Times on various fronts. With great size/power comes great responsibility. But it's always important to remember that really only they have the resources and capacity to put stuff like this together. These are like genome maps of the Trump corruption machine.

Who should be in the next Democratic president's cabinet? Here are some suggestions. Elisabeth Warren Treasury, Bernie Sanders HHS, Jack Smith AG, reinstate Lina Kahn at the FTC and Rohit Chopra at the CFPB, Sally Yates FBI, Jack Reed CIA, Jason Crow Defense, and Elissa Slotkin DNI. Who else?

Ciattarelli won more votes than he did in 2021, but he told every reporter (inc. me) that Trump's 2024 number showed a new path to GOP victory, and he could win by turning them out. Did not account for the people who joined the Trump coalition in '24 and have been unhappy since then.

Yes. There needs to be a specific campaign theme and promise to get rid of ICE.
Everything about it is anti-American.

Slam meet dunk.
Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire
they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is
nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

So is Grenell just going to cry on social media every day because artists want nothing to do with his twisted MAGA perversion of the Kennedy Center? This seems like a great opportunity to showcase MAGA creative and artistic talent. I’m sure they will draw big patriotic crowds.

Biden left Trump the economy that was the ‘Envy of the World’, not just according the ‘The Economist’, but according to the numbers. If Trump had just left it alone he would have looked like a hero to MAGA. But no, tariffs, DOGE, ICE, and just overall destruction.
At first, Trump was going to fix inflation and prices “on day one.” Then it was, ‘Well, by the end of the year ...’ Now it’s maybe never. Because even though Republicans control the entire government, they can’t do anything, don’t cha know.
NEWSMAX: When will Americans start to feel economic progress?
RON JOHNSON: The problem is the Democrats and Biden left so many enormous messes. I can't predict it.

Most intelligent people already know that Trump is a traitor who is assisting Putin, that he’s ransacking public finances to bolster his family fortune, and that he’s not only mentioned in the Epstein Files, multiple times, but was likely in cahoots with Epstein for decades.
