"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard."
This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

Trump is trying to fire three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission the agency that ensures products like cribs, toys, and electronics are safe. The removals are illegal and undermine the commission’s independence. But since when has the Trump admin cared about following the law?

Both The Handmaid’s Tale and American Horror Story had episodes in which a woman who was braindead (or completely headless, AHS) was kept alive as an incubator.
Now it’s happening in real life thanks to abortion laws in Georgia.

Q: Do you see this as a compromise?
Rep. Auchincloss: No, because 5 million Americans are going to lose health care... They are exploding the national debt and taking away health care from people while pushing a good economy into a recession. I don't see how this is a win for my constituents.

Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of FEMA, has been pushed out as DOGE moves to disband the entire agency. It’s looking like RIP FEMA.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

On Inauguration Day, Musk and his companies were facing at least 65 actual or potential actions from 11 different federal agencies. Today, many of those threats have been neutralized. By exercising his influence over the government, Musk is set to avoid more than $2 billion in financial liabilities.

Instead of caving to the billionaire tax prep industry, how about standing up for working Americans?
