Trump’s plan to unleash his ICE cowboy gestapo isn’t about public safety it’s about authoritarian power. If this is how ICE treats the person second in the mayoral line of succession when the cameras are turned on... This doesn't make anybody safer.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

The silver lining of this disgusting interaction is @mcbride.house.gov calling Rep. Keithself Madame Chair. Well played, Congresswoman. Highlight how stupid and petty they are.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

Good to see folks starting to fight back. I certainly called @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social to encourage her to do so as well. Federal funding to foreign aid is less than 1% of the budget but is quite possibly the best soft diplomacy tool we have. US AID is integral in deploying this diplomacy.
People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency.

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.
"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Was the fear that they actually figured out government in the four years in the wilderness misplaced? I'm not sure, but this still looks like they are inept, which I much prefer.

Zero dollars. That’s how much it’ll cost me on a normal day. But I will get better subway and bus service which is probably a better framing of this.

We're doing hot takes, and this one is not accurate:
- Owner ADUs are now legal in every class of R1 and R2, save for a couple of carve-outs
- With one exception, every class of R3 is eligible for 1/2mi TOD around the subways; 1/4mi around MNR-LIRR
- Parking mins are gone in western BK and QNS
- Owner ADUs are now legal in every class of R1 and R2, save for a couple of carve-outs
- With one exception, every class of R3 is eligible for 1/2mi TOD around the subways; 1/4mi around MNR-LIRR
- Parking mins are gone in western BK and QNS
One big failure of this plan is that it exacerbates the divide between urban NYC and single-family NYC. All the plans for new housing are focused on a fraction of the city's land.

At a pizza place over the weekend, O grabbed a Dr. Pepper from the cooler and turned to me and said..."I drink a lotta soda so they call me Dr. Pepper." Never been more proud of my parenting/music influencing decisions.
