Why is this treated so credulously and as a “clash”? This is a sham. You can just say that if you’re reporting the news.

I wouldn’t wipe my ass with this paper, and anyone who continues to work for it or contribute to it is a disgusting human being.

Still going. Rot in hell, @cbsnews.com

I'd be surprised if it were less than 15 points even still but maybe I'm underestimating the district. To your point about Black moderate homeowners, I feel like this is a pretty good bulwark against the encroaching Bed Stuy voting patterns.

Seems like it's devolved pretty quickly into humans who can bet on the events they control without any insider trading restrictions whatsoever.

So 20 hours later The Times realized they have eyes too.

I'm not really keen to defend Cea but the comparable point from my friend with a locked account here about Menin's acceptance of support from scumbags and pariahs is well taken.

Awful and it’s well below the digital fold right now

Just give up on these clowns on X. Rick Silva lives in Fairfield CT per his X bio but has a 917 cell phone and is a registered Republican per Google. Brain’s fried on internet videos.

I'm not going to read this, but it exists! They've acknowledge the problem. The New York Freakin' Times has not.

I didn't realize Suozzi was having a town hall with his constituents today.

The Times somehow did a soft focus profile of the J6 rioters that almost makes them out to be victims. This is a wild way to write this story.

I'm screenshotting @alykatzz.bsky.social here to make sure the quoted post is captured, but query the business viability of NYC-based Crunch if they can't sustain NYC operations if they're not allowed to charge junk fees or make cancellation a Herculean task.

just leave already, you giant crybabies. We can start charging full freight for Verrazzano Bridge tolls and a ferry fare.

It's really a shame to see people's brains melt in real time but signal-boosting Lattina Brown on X is real bad news.

Laura Loomer would be legitimately hilarious if she weren’t Wormtongue’ing foreign policy into the ear of President Senile Grandpa.

These are incompatible, if not contradictory, particularly when viewed through the lens of the 60 Minutes story on CECOT, something we all remember because it happened a week and a half ago and we’re not all as dumb as Bari.

This is an announcement that any other mayor would’ve had 0-5 non-press or non-staffers at. He’s got half the space of the plaza entrance packed with people, and everyone waiting at the light by the library and on Flatbush was trying to get a glimpse of him.

incredible
January 2, 2026 at 6:08 PM
There’s definitely a story here one way or another.

The people who believe every child care center is committing fraud have thoughts. 2026 is going to be an extremely normal one.
