It's that time of year again, when people offer their negative thanksgiving food takes and accidently reveal that their family can't cook for shit

I watched this live and it was appalling and disgusting, just a gutter racist asking a gutter racist question. And there’s something seriously wrong with anyone who considers that “winning.”
The New York Times, where the popular mayor-elect of their city is a fringe figure, but the QAnon podcaster who asked him a racist question comes out as a "winner"

This newspaper hates its readers as much as Republicans hate their voters. And if you're still supporting either, you deserve it.
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

THIS is exactly how Dems need to respond when they get asked a stupid fucking question like the one King brings up here. Laugh in their face and call it out. Get angry that you even have to entertain the idea
CNN: In the last couple of weeks or so, she's become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this?

Auchincloss: No, John, she hasn't.

Watching Mamdani is like watching a 19 year old Juan Soto. Like it's stunning how good he is at this

LINUS: You gotta see this. You're going viral!

CHARLIE: What?

LINUS: Everyone on the internet is saying you can get any girl you want!

CHARLIE: Wait, really??

LINUS: Yeah, it's... [scrolling, reading more, frowning]. Oh

CHARLIE: What's wrong?

LINUS: Nothing, let's talk about something else

Good thing I don't run a cable news channel because my dumb ass would be running wall to wall coverage of the current president demanding the execution of his political rivals and not airing the funeral of a VP from 20 years ago who was hated by everyone

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

i think the argument the cavers should’ve made/should make is “i couldn’t let people starve - we made a run thinking they would fold on aca, but trump really is that psychotic”

that’s an argument i think people could respect, but the won’t even make it
like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.
Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.
Reporter: Today is election day in New York City. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: Look, I voted. And I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City.

More Democrats should get more combative with the media, in particular by calling out questions that have an unspoken premise of "GOP voters are realer Americans than you," or in this case, "the president can break the law if voters in a city choose a mayor according to their own preferences."
In the 1st question of his brief interview with Mamdani. Anderson Cooper reports Trump’s strongman threats to punish NYC if the Mayoral candidate is elected, as if he gets to select where funding goes according to his whims, & then asks whether voters will find it “worth the hassle” to vote for him.

An annoying thing I've noticed Netflix doing to trick you into clicking on their shitty original projects is that they'll give it a title in big bold letters that matches an all time classic but then the subtitle quietly tells the whole story. It's always like

The 2 biggest stars in the 2025 World Series will be:

A Dominican-Canadian son of a hall of fame ballplayer representing his home country

A Japanese born two way unicorn who might be the best player in MLB history

What a beautiful game!

It would be good for Dems to call this out and specifically shame the various news organizations the next time they appear on their airwaves
This is a complete abdication of journalistic responsibility. A president posting something this insane and disgusting should be front and center in the news.
Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

I have watched *thousands* of baseball games

I have read dozens of baseball books

I scroll through baseball reference dot com for fun like people scroll Instagram

I have never seen, read about, or researched any player that comes anywhere close to Shohei Ohtani. He is the Uni-est of Unicorns
