Rahm Emanuel screwed over our judiciary for decades.

Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune.com · 3h

Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday a decision on whether to pursue the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination comes down to whether he thinks he can meet “both the challenge and the promise of tomorrow” and execute on it.

Rahm Emanuel points to record, trust with Republicans as he considers presidential bid

Former Chicago mayor and Japan ambassador Rahm Emanuel said at a City Club of Chicago luncheon he needs to have something unique to say and know he can execute on it to run for president.

Some products are a lot easier to phase out than others! I cancelled my Hulu subscription in a flash, but phasing out Amazon is harder to do when the only grocery store nearby is Whole Foods

Cuomo is Islamophobic garbage.

That being said, I don't think a lot of people remember (or know) the hell NYC put the SWANA community through after 9/11. @deepaiyer.bsky.social covers it in her book WE TOO SING AMERICA, and I encourage everyone to give it a read.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 12h

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

to be honest I don’t think most left-NIMBYs are selfish homeowners acting in bad faith. I think they’re simply just morons.

(that said, the selfish homeowners do frequently use the earnest leftist morons to left-wash their own reactionary policies)

Also worth saying Isaac's takes are fairly balanced and always try to incorporate both sides. The fact that he's calling this corrupt as it gets should raise alarm bells.

What Cuomo did to his accusers after they went public was horrifying. He smeared them, insulted them, and victim-blamed in every way possible.

Voters who choose to overlook this are part of the problem.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 1d

wow. zohran brought one of cuomo’s accusers, charlotte bennett, to the mayoral debate. he asked cuomo what he would say to his 13 accusers of sexual harassment. cuomo said it takes “a certain level of maturity to work in government” and that the cases were resolved anyway. fucking scum.

As devastating as Mamdani’s words here are, Cuomo’s reply is so much worse. “If you want to be in government, then you have to be serious and mature.” He’s suggesting that sexual harassment is just part of working in government, and “mature” women can handle it. Disgusting.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 1d

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Every online getting company has exactly the data they need to identify people with gambling problems, and the technology and know-how to maximally enable that problem. They also know exactly how to spot the rare skilled gamblers and ban them from playing. Zero economic value. It's basically theft.

% of US men under 30 who say legal sports betting is a *bad thing* for society

22% in 2022
47% in 2025

No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society and sports

Today, 43% of U.S. adults say the fact that sports betting is now legal in much of the country is a bad thing for society, up from 34% in 2022.

The cases were “resolved” by Cuomo hounding Bennet for years, at taxpayer’s expense, including with a retaliatory defamation lawsuit that he filed *after* the attorney general found that he had sexually harassed her.
