Dinkins was also a Democratic Socialist wasn't he? Trying to remember if Poppy Bush threatened to cut off NYC's funding and send in troops.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.
Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

The whole governing philosophy of the United States right now is "try and stop us." Turns out not many people can do that, because the level of malfeasance completely overwhelms the enforcement mechanisms, which are rooted in a presumption of good faith, a presumption which turns out to be wrong.

Let's check in and see how many of the 12 calendar months are warming and how many are cooling at a statistically significant rate over the last 75 years. One of these maps is not like the other. 🔥🔥🔥

Weird Al Yankovic is doing two shows today at the Alaska State Fair. He was always part of our rental car soundtrack, 30 years ago on trips with the kids, along with Monty Python, Bonzo Dog Band and such. Brought with on burned CDs. If we were hearing Weird Al in the car, we were on vacay!

The transformation started with Iran-Contra.
The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office.
Imagine that: shame.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Good morning, AK! If you’re struggling with the price of groceries, housing, and health care—and I think most of us are—remember that Trump bought a personal KKK/Gestapo with a budget bigger than all but 16 militaries worldwide & our whole congressional delegation voted to fund it with your money.
