Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”
It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.
This doesn’t explain the first half (the explanation for it is obvious) but the second half is that Trump is clearly lying
United States Onurt of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 26-5050 September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-02471-ACR Filed On: March 6, 2026 Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al., Appellees V. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Walker, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges ORDER Upon consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, the opposition thereto, the reply, the amicus briefs, and the Rule 28(i) letters, it is ORDERED that the motion for a stay be denied.
BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
are the european governments who like the war with iran gonna realize it probably means russia gets even more power to extort them via energy policy now
NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.
so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm
He thinks he can do this with Mexico too. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
I don’t know if saying I told you so to people’s misery is as good a laugh line as she thinks
This is literally the exact kind of thing Trump would say at someone’s funeral
drooping "i told you so" at a funeral is unimaginably gauche
if the democrats were such "good fucking people" we wouldn't have to constantly beg them to stop aiding and abetting evil, and yet....
Target has allowed ICE to abduct its workers and use its property for staging. Now Minnesota organizers are building a pressure campaign against the company. "There is no neutral here," says labor organizer Veronica Mendez Moore. Vital reporting by Isabela Escalona.
1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.
It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.
Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.
The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.
Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?
He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.
There is a reason you hold the line at sports.
Surely this is not shocking, but Rogan had most of the big anti-trans scientists that my reporting found to be in the Epstein files on his podcast.
Krauss even tried to connect Epstein to Rogan at one point.

i’m now learning that a bunch of the “black women vs hispanics” posting is coming from a white man who posts using the n-word and looks like this

It's so so so funny that this is how the conservative mind works
It's honestly shocking, if not really surprising anymore, how disconnected these weirdos are from basic understanding of how things work.
![Isaac Chotiner: What should or should not prevent a U.S. President from deciding that he or she can wage military action or bomb another country if he or she wants to? What should be the constraints? It doesn’t seem like Trump has laid out a clear reasoning for why he’s doing this.
Rep. Greg Landsman: I think the Administration has. I think Marco Rubio did lay out a clear reason for doing this now, why it was important, and why it will be limited. Again, Trump is not a disciplined person, and so his communication has been all over the place, and that is, in and of itself, bad.
Rubio also said on Monday, “There absolutely was an imminent threat, and the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believed they would be attacked [by Israel], that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.” What did you make of that statement?
I was really disappointed that he tried to lay the blame on somebody else.
Especially because Rubio is not the erratic one. That’s Trump.
Exactly. I was disappointed in that, but especially when he clearly set out to make one argument during that whole press conference, which was this is a focussed operation on the missiles and the missile launchers and the nukes and the ships.
Not the nukes. They don’t have nukes.
Sorry, you’re right. The facilities, the nuclear facilities. And he was locked in on that, and I think that is the argument. I think that is the operation. That has to be what they continue to focus on. That he would veer from that was disappointing, and I suspect he was disappointed.
That’s definitely telling us that he’s thinking about these things.
Yeah. Look, it’s obviously multiple countries and not just Israel. This is becoming a much bigger moment. Despite real tragedies here, which are awful—and there’s nothing to say other than it’s terrible—may this all be for something very powerful and good and transformative, which is the end…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mencpxk4spd3xn3qotwkyyqf/bafkreiha6sprq6zz3ao5pmed2gyboiat4qerrctlo6b5xx2xksqde2lkkq@jpeg)

![Yeah. And let me also be clear. I’ve never trusted Trump on this, or on the economy, or on keeping us safe in general.
You are trusting him on this, though, right?
No.
You aren’t?
I’m trusting the military and our generals. I’m trusting what I understand to be the operation and the people leading it—that is, the generals and our military and our allies.
You’re trusting the people leading the operation who don’t include the President?
Well, I don’t trust that guy. Yeah.
He’s the Commander-in-Chief, right?
Sure. Yeah. But I can’t [trust him]. And he’s proven that over the past couple of days, being all over the place, unlike everybody else involved in this.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mencpxk4spd3xn3qotwkyyqf/bafkreif7wqajcoomfrnxnrq5v34e3nv7uvactnos3dagbu6fnq4jizmjoe@jpeg)

Lol
Trump: [gets elected because the prices on things are too high]
Trump: [implements tarrifs all over the place, bombs Iran, ends de minimis exception]
Heck of a job, Donny.
It's the exact same dynamic where most of Europe was getting REAL fucking tired of NATO as an expense and group....until Russia expanded it's Crimea invasion rapidly and now every EU member is like "More NATO please"
