Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

This is not only devastating to everyone about to lose the ability to afford insurance, it will devastate hospitals as uncompensated care explodes, ERs will be the default and costs will be pushed back onto everyone else. This is how you break a health care system on purpose while screaming fraud.

No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity.

New tax plan released by R’s
Low-income earners, including many single-parents, would pay a higher tax under the proposal because refundable credits are reduced or restricted, while tax cuts for higher earners are expanded and made permanent.
That’s not a talking point — it’s how the math works.🤬
