"since clinton" explains more about the present than anyone wants to admit
We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term.
No president since Clinton has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on such a scale.

Going to keep beating this drum. For frequent subway riders, the elimination of the 30-day Metrocard is a backdoor 14% fare hike and it changes ridership behavior in a way that discourages discretionary trips. Both results are very, very bad!

It didn't get talked about by seemingly anyone but Mamdani himself but his public procurement plan for heat pumps, induction ranges etc is actually a capital-S Socialist policy, one of the few the city can execute. Paired with building code reform, this could be revolutionary
This is false and this article conflates a bunch of different state policies and throws in Mamdani supposedly backing away from climate even though he stood behind Local Law 97, which is the biggest thing NYC has done on this front.

I remember being a kid and hearing Serbs living in America excuse or deny the genocide of the Yugoslav Civil Wars by invoking Jasenovac and the Ustase. It made me think we were a uniquely sick people until I heard people lose their souls by repeating the same things after 10/7.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Only a couple of major news outlets (CNN, USA) are covering this at all. You would think if the goal was clicks and views, this would be all over the media. If clicks are not the goal, it makes you think about: what is?

I firmly believe that at the very least, if the ostensibly very serious people are allowed to advocate for violence on a mass scale, then we ought to be able to advocate for violence against those very serious people. Preemptive strikes on the pundit class could very well save a lot of lives
Yet again, the New York Times’ Bret Stephens advocates the overthrow of a sovereign government. Why do the readers of the “paper of record” tolerate this dangerous propaganda?

it's galling enough to be a normal corrupt Democrat but it's absolutely enraging to have the highest levels of our government be infested with open traitors whose top priority is Israel.
