"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

This is wild
Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?
Mamdani: I've spoken about --
Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

I feel like most of us understand that he will change his mind literally the next time he talks to any of his horrible goblins, because he just agrees with the last person who talked to him. but still it's so funny that he fully got rolled by Mamdani leagues more than we even could have hoped
Let's not go crazy & think that just because he has nice things to say about Mamdani while Mamdani is in the room means that it's going to last past his next dose of naptime propaganda. Still some fine entertainment
Alhamdulillah truly

As budget talks stall out, I keep coming back to this one.
From a budget perspective, CPD operations are almost entirely discretional. (Mind you, pensions and lawsuits are another matter.)
It is an active choice to prioritize this spending above all other spending, year after year.

I'll close with a reminder I give every year: unlike our other billion-dollar-plus departments, CPD is almost entirely paid for with the general-purpose corporate fund.
Out of every dollar spent on the police budget, roughly 94 cents could be spent on any other city department, if Council wanted.

Broncos 22, Chiefs 19 — FINAL
Denver has the AFC West on lockdown. Bo Nix & the offense did it again in the clutch. The defense smothered KC for a 3-and-out to set up the game-winning drive. All three phases made big plays. The winning streak is 8. Super Bowl dreams are real.

HOLY SMOKES ... The Broncos defense gets the Chiefs to go three-and-out. Ja'Quan McMillian adds to his huge game with a sack for an 11-yard loss. The Broncos will get the ball with a chance to win it right here. First-and-10 at their 26.
