Sliwa himself said Ackman and his billionaire goon buddies have tried to bribe him to drop out of the race so “follow the money he’s doing this to embezzle city funds” is one of the most absurd things Ackman has said, and that’s a high bar.
"follow the money" says the guy who had to settle a $290 million insider trading scandal

Also, it's super telling what happens when a Republican doesn't play ball with other Republicans. This is why they all fall in line. If you upset the donor class, you get attacked nonstop

Grateful for Garrett Graff and his ability to explain moral clarity
The destruction of the East Wing is a reminder that America has violated the only check-and-balance that actually ends up mattering: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-only-c...

Dictators don't like Free Markets ... or Free Anything.

For men like Trump, the Markets are a way of collecting Bribes. You can't do that with a truly Free Market with Free Competition.

Nebraska rancher: I don't think it's a good idea. We should just allow our market to dictate the price of beef. Most people out here would have the view that the government should just be limited and not meddling in the free markets
And I'm sure that's the point.

Milei’s policies are huge failures! He is causing suffering on a massive scale for the Argentine people! His austerity measures are obscenely destructive to people’s lives there. Trump is only prolonging and enabling more suffering and destruction.

ENTEN: “.. Trump's at new lows when it comes to economic net approval. .. Q-Pac (-19 pt) & CNBC (-13 pt) find him at the lowest level of either of his presidencies.

“.. Also, he's lower than any president at this point in a presidency or 2nd term on record.”

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Look I am just saying that if we simply threw women, Black folks, immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims and other minorities under the bus we could go back to discussing the class-based white people politics that I, a white male pundit, am most comfortable discussing. Is that so hard?
Even as they take them themselves.

Bonus primary points to which ever Democrat promises to demolish whatever fucking monstrosity ballroom Trump builds
Folks need to face the fact that it's almost winter & there won't be any building till maybe March. That hole will be left there rotting for MONTHS.

And they didn't bother to protect the WH bldg nearby, which any contractor would do - unless they were planning to demolish the rest of the WH.

It seems like there's now a pretty broad consensus that as soon as it's safe and legal to do so, this hell-spawned future ballroom must be demolished and perhaps even as part of some televised event
The ballroom *has* to be torn down, because Trump has made it a symbol of an un-American, monarchial conception of the presidency.

@timmiller.bsky.social, @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, and @jvl.bsky.social talk that and more in the latest episode of The Next Level!

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.
