This is wild, and as a lifelong proud-ish Upper WEST Sider, I offer it as humble proof that although God knows we have our faults, the Upper East Side is...hooboy. Not the same AT ALL. This really captures how the UES can sometimes feel like the largest gated community in NYC.
"The more-than-300 comments responding to that anonymous post are full of mothers looking for property in New Jersey or Florida, predicting that Mamdani’s promise to make buses free will lead criminals to rape and kill innocent passengers."

Man oh man, in body, face, voice, and gesture, she is not giving him a thing. Impressive.
REPORTER: Why'd it take so long to get sworn in?
GRIJALVA: *gestures at Johnson* That would not be my question!

What a HUGE misogynist Lawrence Summers is.

"...hit on a few women 10 years ago and can't work at a network or think tank. DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT"

Senate Democrats had the power to do one thing: This shutdown. And this is what they did with it. Maybe this is some brilliant political calculus, in which case I'll happily eat my words. But right now, it feels like the beginning of the end of the party in its current form--and by its own hand.
