No thumbs up from Zohran.
Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.

"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).
The woman whom the House Ethics Committee determined Matt Gaetz paid for sex when she was 17 years old was living in a homeless shelter, working at McDonald's, and needed the money for braces www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

The people who live in the South Shore building that was violently raided in the middle of the night by federal agents are forming a tenants union. Here are their demands, per a press release that just went out.

I think some of these board members have miscalculated how much riders care more about safe, clean, and reliable service than they do about which politicians get to appoint which board members.

Governance silos deserve to be left in the past.

One network, one timetable, one ticket.

Sure sounds like current board members are actively trying to sabotage the hard-fought #RevenuesAndReform of SB2111 through an amendatory veto.

We're not done yet: call @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office and tell him to sign SB2111 **as-is**!

It’s Coleman’s birthday tomorrow.

(The photo was taken in New York City in 1947, so that’s a 21-year-old Miles to Coleman’s left.)

Hard to overstate Siebel's impact on the US brewing industry. It was founded in 1868 and has trained literal generations of US brewing talent. Survived Prohibition by teaching baking and other adjacent trades. If your favorite brewer didn't go there, their favorite brewer did. An immeasurable loss.
