Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?
MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have
TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

We won our lawsuit against the Trump administration, preventing them from dismantling federal agencies that provide services and funding for libraries, museums, workers, small businesses, and the unhoused.
We will always defend the basic services that New Yorkers depend on.

That "clubby" NYT headline is awful, but the piece itself is clear-eyed & observant, if cool in tone — it's by a strong writer & it documents the creepy, backpatting insider world of guys griping about MeToo as it happens. The NYT is always doing this! If the hed was different, the piece wd be legit

Also, have started #HuntingWives. It’s so camp and fantastic and has some early Dynasty/Dallas vibes. Rain in LA means I’m catching up on essential tv viewing.

Ok so I stumbled upon #Elsbeth and it’s super. But also I’m mad that NONE of my friends told me about this show. Like this is my show, why was I not informed???

Look, I think it’s folly to monitor NYT coverage at this point but it just has to be said that the NYT covered those damn university president hearings BREATHLESSLY but the Epstein emails???? Crumbs. Even though I’m used to them being bootlickers, it’s still appalling to see.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

If the ‘progressive’ strategy/tactic is starving people, might I suggest a hunger strike instead. Feel free to punish yourselves for the cause. I support that. Full support.
