I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Our latest editorial responds to a bill filed in the Florida Legislature, and unfortunately has to state the obvious: Charlie Kirk's killing was an affront to freedom of speech, but the controversial right-wing figure shouldn't have streets named for him in college towns across Florida.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.
