the speaker position was always going to be the weak link in these proposals.

I think her belief was she did her job with City of Yes and fixed the housing situation with a good compromise that made everyone mad. Now she's facing the admitted "eff-you" impact of a charter commission that overruled her own charter revision proposals, and she's pissed

unless you're an incompetent failed governor seeking a downgrade. In that case you enjoy the moronic, unquestioning applause of the most provincial, self-satisfied news media in the world. no concerns about your governance record or powers of the office you once held.

what do you think "mend fences" means? It means you join with a neighbor to reinforce the fence between your properties. meanwhile the entire political class is trying to give away the farm to Israel

honestly it seems like all Satmars have realized that he is not anti-Semitic and simply breaking from the hysteria allowed the Aharonim to make the rational, cynical decision to bet on a winning horse

For my newsletter, I took a deeper look at the electoral record of WelcomePAC, a centrist group that produced that 352 page document advising Democrats to moderate once again.

Turns out the campaigns they work for aren't winning. www.burnsnotice.com/fire-the-con...

Fire The Consultants

The Democratic party must move on from the same old stale, carefully poll-tested politics and get back to solving voters' problems. There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Democra...

The Hasidic Jewish Community Council of Williamsburg is endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social today 🗽💞

Honestly happy (and slightly surprised of myself) to say: I am once again proud of the neighborhood I was raised in, the Hasidic community in Williamsburg!

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."
www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.”

On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers.

According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers.

After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

been thinking how revolutionary it would be if the farmworkers in the US got plots of the lands they work now. the ag equivalent of shutting down car dealership owners

this is what drives me nuts about modern liberalism. the institutional liberals are the "groups." the "groups" are coming from inside the fucking house. it's the phony and cynical deployment of identity politics in order to stifle grassroots activism that gets weaponized and sparks backlash

Spotted a real National Guard patrol in Dupont Circle (left) this morning … then an individual in ill-fitting fatigues and gear (right) shortly thereafter. Is this an actual guardsman? Did not appear to be a Halloween costume. It’s increasingly difficult to tell who’s legit, which seems dangerous.

there's all the usual motivations of policy, ideology, and of course class interests, but i still think not enough gets said about how much raw spite factors into dem seniority's behavior

Chuck Schumer has refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani, and now refuses to even say he’ll vote for him as Mayor. Just a breathtaking new level of cowardice.

Won’t someone please primary this spineless failure of a leader?

a cool thing about this is the explicit invocation of transmission - a lot of good offshore wind in the US, Trump aside, but it is sold as a state by state economic development project with no interstate agreement to bolster transmissibility
