One of Mayor Mamdani's core political beliefs is that there's no contradiction between opposing antisemitism and supporting anti-Zionism.
That's why he repealed Adams' executive orders mandating the IHRA definition and banning BDS but he's keeping the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism.

There's a correlation, not a contradiction; normal conservatives are just dumb and racist, any conservative who has been called a "bold, innovative thinker" by the NYT has wet dreams of being a death camp commandant.

I've become a broken record on this, but I'll keep beating the drum that it is fully within Congress's powers to establish an ad-hoc court.
The entire ICE agency (and DHS more broadly for that matter) should be dragged in front of a Nuremburg-style court for criminal proceedings.

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter.
Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.

No but really my fear is that the next democrat in the White House will be conciliatory and deliberate when what we need is a chainsaw and some sage.

James Chace's "1912"
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Every accusation is a confession with that crowd, example #3,300
Drake and Adin Ross along with others are being hit with a Federal RICO case involving a tipping feature on Stake to transfer money among themselves, which was then used to artificially inflate Drake’s music streams across major distribution platforms. And, people questioned Kendrick.

This is definitely a key point that gets underdiscussed. There are of course popular Democratic figures who are decent-to-good at comms (AOC, Bernie, Crockett, etc). But a supremely gifted orator who can command & elevate the mood of an entire audience with a single speech is incredibly rare.
It feels like ages since we’ve heard anyone in elected office with any real command of the old American art of rhetoric. In my lifetime, I think Obama is probably the only other prominent example.

Conservative outlets love this pocket-watching hypocrisy trope, especially as some sort of gotcha for WOC, by willfully conflating left politics with forced universal aceticism.
To them, socialists are not supposed to be stylish or attractive. Rama's both, and on her own terms, not maga aesthetic.

All other things put aside, the fact is that just a few years ago the views Mamdani holds on Palestine would have rendered him persona non grata and now they do not. The establishment has to contend with him. To what extent he then in turn has to contend with the establishment is still undetermined.
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who didn't endorse Zohran Mamdani for mayor, is expected to attend his inauguration at City Hall set to start shortly, per a source.
Schumer will be seated on the dais with other top pols.

Should be a bombshell but basically totally MIA from the NYT. An interesting decision by them!
On Jack Smith deposition, now released:
100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.
Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.
What Smith says is far more incriminating.

The ratings dip a few years ago was taken as definitive proof by many in sports media that the league was "dying", resulting in a litany of grievances as to why that supposedly was. Yet as ratings have objectively rebounded, that same crowd has suddenly gone mute. Curious! 🧐

Something that many (at least online) seem to forget it how high this man was flying in January and where he is now. Yes he is richer and still terrible but the Tesla protests pierced the sense that he was beyond reach. And that matters a lot. Thanks to everyone who joined those ongoing protests.
Elon Musk promised a lot of things by 2025
- colonists arriving on Mars
- xAI achieving AGI
- Tesla robotaxis serving half the U.S.
- completely driverless robotaxis
- a Tesla Roadster demo
- DOGE cutting trillions
none of them happened
