What a bizarre way to frame being anti illegal theft and sale of land and using NYC as a auction block for blood drenched sociopaths.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

trying to choose words carefully but hal is likely empowered to start saying these things publicly (as he and other league officials have said privately) because of the cohen/rubenstein class of owners. family business franchise/sole wealth generator is an outdated model. so: sympathetic figure.

this is the optimal explanation, because anyone losing money on THE NEW YORK YANKEES shouldn’t be allowed to run a paper route, let alone a Major League Baseball franchise
Hearing Hal Steinbrenner on a Zoom that the Yankees didn't make a profit this year. He's hard to hear, because he's conducting the Zoom on a 200-foot megayacht in the Seychelles smoking what appears to be a new Trump $200 bill.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

Jeffrey Goldberg's editorial leadership has been a disaster for the human race
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?
