The BdB connection makes me very skeptical, but is there a reason this is a strong choice?
New: Zohran Mamdani's expected to later this morning announce he plans to appoint Dean Fuleihan as his first deputy mayor, per sources.

Fuleihan served in the same role under Bill de Blasio.

“"We demand that the attackers be held accountable for their actions and that the Israeli government use its authority to end such provocations and attacks," said organizations of U.S. rabbis from the progressive Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements in a joint statement.”
“"Journalists, both local and foreign, have proven to be a clear target as they document an unprecedented level of unchecked violence against Palestinians during this year's olive harvest."”

The UN says October saw the highest number of Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians in nearly 20 years of tracking that violence. More than half the attacks targeted olive harvesters. n.pr/3LT0ecL

THUNDERSNOW LIKELY in the Chicago-Valparaiso area with an absolutely remarkable batch of lake-effect snow.

Near record-cold air blowing down exceptionally warm waters is making for a high-end, and unusually early, lake-effect snow event.

Federal agents drive off with a lone toddler of **U.S. citizens*** Return the child abused, bruised on the face and neglected. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social is clear, this is just the beginning of this story. As he reports - this began during the first Trump administration.

Monstrous. Criminal
"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

What the hell is a Judeosatanist? If I wanted to speak to one, does anyone know where they hang out?
This is a new one on me. I'm counting it as a lie because of the reference to "Judeosatanists" -- the text is taking about how gentiles could nullify the status of their idols, not commanding anything.

These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.

MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

That's funny. It's an exact quote from a 1993 New Yorker cartoon about a lunch date.

Question Presented:

Can the President illegally withhold mandatory Congressional appropriations from States because he thinks it's politically advantageous to starve people?

The answer is plainly "no" but there are several guaranteed "yes" votes on SCOTUS, potentially even a majority.
#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

Southerners. Stop coming to NYC. It’s all Muslim and crime and violent antifa. You don’t want to go there. Stay away!
Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

After @mandophotos.bsky.social photographed federal agents pointing rifles at 26th/Lawndale yesterday, I inquired with DHS about what threat had prompted them to pull weapons on a busy commercial strip (pictured). This is the response I got from a representative of the United States government.

You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby.

The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of death in Darfur. “These are people being shot in the back and shot while they’re trying to escape. It’s as bad as it could possibly get,” a former Africa analyst for the C.I.A. said. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/qVoDbI
