I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

A travesty of pardon power, plain and simple corruption.

Not long before those pardoned are charged again for breaking the law.
If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

We will be disappointed at times, but WE MUST LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. Don't let se disappointment ruin any gains his admin makes.

We're a big tent and that takes work, but we can't please everyone all the time.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

During this time of reflection I noticed that prior to 2016, I rarely used words like insurrection, kompromat, fascist, nazi, political violence, tariffs, indictment, grand jury, coveffe, radical, Epstein, shadow docket, Christian, white nationalist, fake news, billionaire, and norms.

What changed?

Before the celebrations on November 4, there were hours of anxious waiting as we watched the numbers come in. Here's a glimpse of the stress and joy alike. Thank you to every New Yorker who believed in this fight for working people. I am so proud to be sworn in as your Mayor.

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

U.S. science might "survive" in a diminished, more privatized form, but the era of the U.S. as an undisputed "scientific superpower" supported by a robust federal foundation is effectively over if current trends continue.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.

Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

Another reason for Medicare for All.

One of the attributes I hear from friends born in other countries is how individualistic and selfishly focused our culture is.

Conservatives just take it to a new level.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."
