Ex-Wall St. lawyer/exec. Focused on news media, public transit, NYC and RCP (Random Coffee or Cheese Posts). Mock the GOP and their billionaire$--it freaks them out. Hold all your elected officials accountable.

Predictable AF.
Hey Democrats! Calling for defunding ICE is so easy, even Bill Kristol can do it!
It's beyond what the WH believes immigrants are. It's the millions of people who voted for it, are not sorry, and will never raise a finger to end horrific treatment of fellow humans. We don't want them. Don't pander.
I'm an avid listener--yes, focus groupie, nerding out every week. Am now Mamdani wing of Democrat after too long on Wall St., for context. Warren is too conservative. Disagree often, but respect so much of what you guys are doing.
Great! Let's go! The Times is absurdly anti-union--might as well remind them why.... because news guild unions are good for journalism.
Ok
I lied π€₯πππ
Last one now
GOODNIGHT π΄
It's Kaine. Jello in a suit. Likely tipper of scale to defeat in Clinton 2016 effort.
Yeah. I was hoping for Wikler early on, but then it seemed unclear exactly what difference it would make for the party between him and Martin. End of the day, an awful job--anyone seeking to lead the DNC must have a serious screw loose.
Like CBS hiring Portnoy, and the other guy MD Attia didn't resign pronto, seems like pure intimidation, threat, of and to women. From the C-suite, though, these men are weak, compromised, able to be manipulated. They'll make great $$$ until they're dismissed for some reason. Horrible.
*Grievous error by me! It was Graham Chapman, not Palin! π΅
zero percent chance that Susan Collins doesn't immediately drop all of this the second the general election starts if this guy wins the primary - the DoD is 100% sitting on the file on this guy and will send it to her the second he wins the nomination
snif! π From someone who did not want to let go of the token.
Hmmmm........ you don't say? Why might they have come to this conclusion, and what might they do with this information? Surely there's something Republicans could do to help to either lower prices, or help "Americans" become more tolerant?
It has "ceased to be!". The navy is "no more!"
Apparently, last year John Cleese began his eulogy for Michael Palin with an adaptation of the dead parrot sketch.
I know, but I didn't check him out at all before getting on his list and that's not how I want to do things in any social media.
Osse withdrew in December, there's no primary challenge right now and unlikely there will be.
Thx for answering! Based on no expertise whatsoever, it feels to me like a lot of people want to be conned. I have a high school friend who's thrilled that JD Vance is a "straight shooter" who'll be a great follow-on after Trxmp!
Plenty of issues with Murphy but at least he's saying something and holding a banner up that Dems can latch onto. I like the indignant attitude. More of this please!
Didn't someone have to step up and become Chuck Todd when there's no Chuck Todd on TV lately? Only a matter of time until Jake has a goatee.
Wondering if these voters, having been duped, will be more resistant to empty promises or disinfo? Or discouraged, more likely to tune out and stay home? Wish more people would pay more attention but many of them don't have much time or energy, politics is draining except to nerds like me.
Reposting to remind ourselves when the time comes (yes, when, not IF!) about information connecting dots and .... not the flowery "ensure justice is done". No, throw these bastards in prisons that make hell look like a vacation.
Anybody seen DFGAC (disgraced fmr gov AC) lately? Never mind, better off w/o any info. How like him to make one of New York's most important, yet undercomp'ed, professions that much harder to choose as a career.
This badass started knitting. LFG @katmabu.bsky.social !
Screenshot of a November 1, 2024 tweet from Stephen Miller (https://x.com/StephenM/status/1852364946195296620) reading as follows: "To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamalaβs top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace."
They told me if I voted for Kamala Harris, the United States would launch a war in the Middle Eastβand they were right!
Very much appreciate your reply and recognize that. Am annoyed with myself signing up where I didn't personally check it out, and now I bet there are others I missed. I bailed on your emails until I do a deeper dive to my own standard and see what else I need to look at.
Oh fuck. The name Parnas seemed familiar but I didn't explore until "and his son" below. Ran off to verify. Yep, that guy who talks political news on daily video clips is.... Aaron. Aaaannd one less email flooding my inbox as of right now. Dammit. Why didn't I vet this? Welp, thanks Sarah.
Really, really worth reading and following updates. I'm not saying do everything right now, if we can't. Migrate off my Gmail today? God, that's enormous. Drop Amazon Prime? Not enormous. Point is, the guide gives reasons rather than just a list, so we can decide how to squeeze the regime.
Say what we will about James Baker III, but he knew, like, the big picture. We know this, because he often explained it to Reagan. π€£
Well said. Many of us said it to ALL who stayED home in '24, past tense. The sentiment--flip the seat--of course, but there's a better way to get the point over before the damn vote! Sorry, captain whoever. Do better while you can. And show some goddam respect. @captain-corona.bsky.social
Unexpectedly if you are stupid
