Comparatively speaking, even that would be an insult to teachers.

And with all the reporting about arresting US citizens, documented immigrants, etc, who wouldn’t tense up upon seeing these masked strangers approaching? This guy is an idiot.

Run out of words to describe Felon 47. Wondering if he’s as happy with his hugely negative numbers as he was with his formerly positive numbers (there was a sliver in time when that was true)?

Cuomo wants to be an oligarch. That's pretty obvious. Every person whose ideas may differ from his is now an extremist? Sounds like his new boss, our criminal president. You, sir, are a disgrace to this country.

Cuomo paints Mamdani’s backers as extremists. Mamdani frames Cuomo’s as oligarchs.

Cuomo joins in on Mamdani's months-long attack on super PACs.
