Still pretty funny that not a single person in this administration can figure out how to change The White House's bsky handle to their official domain name

Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

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 · 21h

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 · 21h

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.

Agreed! And while I agree that these comments disproportionately target women, I feel the same regarding comments about Trump's appearance. We can and should be dragging their behavior rather than how they look.

Amazon doesn’t just control online shopping, using its power to squeeze competitors out. It also controls too much of the “grid” that powers the internet—which is why when they go down, so does half the internet.

No one company should control the internet.

I think two things can be true here: 1. I'd never vote for Curtis Sliwa 2. If the entire GOP were more aligned with Sliwa then Trump, I'd be (less) stressed about the state of our democracy right now

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 3d

An interesting about Sliwa is that he’s old guard Republican so he talks about supporting the working class a lot. He’s not a guy who has moved further and further right with the party over the years. So as much as he’s *not our guy* he ends up being more aligned with left values then MAGAs.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 4d

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings.
In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.
