Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

Donald Trump just now posts a full-throated endorsement of Andrew Cuomo on TruthSocial: "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job."

Schumer still hasn't endorsed Mamdani yet, right?

Remarkable.

Everyone pay attention and keep receipts.

Let's review: The person you consider to be HitlerMussolini reincarnated is endorsing your candidate but this isn't causing any consternation for you?

If you want to know how things are going on the other side, Shawn Zahabian, who runs Nash Dean (a furniture company in California) and some other businesses, jumped into a group chat for Mamdani canvassers here in NYC and began spewing Islamophobic bile at the group of mostly-young volunteers.

BREADCRUMMING!

This is gaslighting 101;
Now they’re gonna give us PARTIAL SNAP benefits.
Partial.
The full ability to distribute benefits
The resolution to only distribute PARTIAL benefits

This is how abuse works. If you haven’t experienced it your whole life, congratulations and welcome.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

There is a new product in the world called Tippy Taps, a height booster for keyboard keys. That makes it easier to type with long nails.

Originals cost ~$50 and are a silicone overlay for the entire, specific keyboard.

Trump has now said he won't attend the tariffs oral argument at SCOTUS this week, but he's keeping up the hyperbolic rhetoric based on what experts say is an upside-down argument about the economic impacts of striking them down.

Those impacts are laid out in this story from the other week:

Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley.bsky.social · 10d

NEW: In frequent, hyperbolic public remarks, Trump is ramping up pressure on the Supreme Court to uphold his tariffs, claiming apocalyptic consequences.

He's even threatened to attend oral argument, something there's no record of any sitting president doing.

Trump's dramatic rhetoric on tariffs ramps up pressure on Supreme Court

The president has frequently spoken about the potentially drastic consequences if the Supreme Court strikes down his sweeping tariffs, a view contested by his opponents.

Too many today don't realize how recent women's rights and liberation really are. And we're on the cusp of losing it all.

Until 1964, an employer could refuse to hire someone
just for being a woman.

Until 1965, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to
prescribe birth control for married women.

Until 1972, it was legal for a bank to refuse to let a
married woman get her own account.

Until 1972, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to
prescribe birth control for single women.

Until 1974, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to a
woman.

Until 1988, it was legal for landlords to refuse to rent a
unit to a woman with children.

Your granny didn't stay married because her
generation had a stronger moral compass than people
today. She stayed because society LITERALLY stole
away all her independence. Think about that the next
time someone wants to go back to "the good old
days". It was only good for men ..... and only for men of
a certain demographic, if you catch my meaning.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."
