All the best wishes to the new mayor. I don’t expect a long honeymoon period for him, but I’m more optimistic than I’ve been for awhile.
Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, the McNeil trade. What exactly is going on in Queens? It feels like a Loria-era Marlins post-World Series fire sale, except without the winning.

I’ll make you a deal, Sec. Duffy. I’ll wear a tie and jacket on my next flight if you take the following measures:
-Restore the rules on $$ for flight delays and elimination of junk fees.
-Tell the airlines to stop charging $35+ for carry-on bags.
-No charge for water on flights.

Like most of the world, I was extremely happy yesterday at the news of a ceasefire in Gaza, the return of all remaining hostages, and the loosening of restrictions on humanitarian aid. I continue to be concerned about what happens next in the region. 🧵(1/5)

So you can just say anything you want on Fox now? Guarantee there won’t be repercussions for this. If it were CNN or MSNBC, Kilmeade would be fired already.

I denounce the gun violence that killed Charlie Kirk the same as I also denounce the shooting of students in Evergreen, CO. Both happened today and involved guns. Every president assassinated was shot. Reagan and Trump were both shot. The through line between all of these is guns.

If you actually cared about public safety, you’d send the National Guard to our schools, because THAT’S WHERE THE MURDER IS HAPPENING! Instead, they’re in DC picking up trash.

This is insane. First you kick all trans people out of the military, then you have the audacity to deny them the ability to retire with dignity for their service. No pension? No VA benefits? Are they going to deny them their flag at their funeral too? They served, period. Give them what they’re owed
The US Air Force said it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits.

I’m disgusted. “Purely financial” my ass. A cowardly move to kowtow to the administration in order to get their merger with Skydance approved by the Trump FCC. Any creatives who do business with CBS should think twice.
