It’s because he openly accepts bribes.
Very disappointing to see @bostonglobe.com running a piece from Richard Hanania today.

I'm not going to amplify the fucking things, but these anti-Mamdani slop ads Cuomo is putting out there use his likeness and put words in his mouth. If it's not actionable, it should be. It's not illegal it seems, but it should be so illegal. It should be *the most* illegal.

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.
I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

The message you THiNK not voting sends: I’ll teach those politicians a lesson!!!

The message you ACTUALLY send: Your vote is unreliable and cannot be depended upon.

Politicians want voters who they count on to show up. There’s a reason they focus on “likely voters” and not the bench sitters.

If you boycott elections, candidates logically ignore you and focus on the voters they can still get.

There’s a reason pundits keep nudging Dems to a mushy middle. Those folks are idiots, yes, but they’re idiots who show up to vote.

And that matters more to a candidate than your smart apathy.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Why does he need to have all those agents standing at attention around him?

Looks like Flavor Flav surrounded by the S1Ws.
FBI Director Kash Patel accuses Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and Damon Jones of involvement in "an illegal gambling operation and sports-rigging operation that spanned the course of years."
