Is it stating the obvious that one reason Trump is wooing Mamdani is to keep him from turning Trump Towers into public housing? (And wouldn’t be awesome if Mamdani did?)

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
