this same guy told me Eric Adams would consolidate the field and beat Zohran after the primary. I tried to bet him on it but he chickened out. what a fucking moron lol

the contrast between Zohran and, like, Karen Bass is pretty remarkable. Zohran has a clear vision of a more affordable and sustainable city and forcefully supports pro-housing polices as a key part of that vision.
Meanwhile, Karen Bass doesn’t seem to believe in anything in particular at all

fun fact: ogles lied repeatedly about his education and failed a significant portion of his classes at Middle Tennessee State

![Ogles was born on June 18, 1971. A native of Middle Tennessee, he graduated from Franklin High School and later attended Western Kentucky University and Columbia State Community College from 1990 to 1993, studying allied language arts and English. 118]
Ogles later studied at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), where he failed every course taken in the fall of 1995 and the fall of 1998; he returned to the university in 2007 and graduated with a 2.4 grade point average, with a Bachelor of Science in liberal studies. 71[91|101 Ogles said in late](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gouysuoxatjdb5bjcqe4sfh7/bafkreigm4efuqiakskl5lovre45s6bl52qwmvviu4tbv7ouhs5tk2k7xke@jpeg)
![On February 26, Ogles said that he was "mistaken" in claiming to have an MTSU degree in international relations, and claimed that he requested his college transcript the week before, and only learned then that his degree was actually in liberal studies. 91|11]
[15] News Channel 5 called Ogles's statement
"apparently preemptive" because Ogles "ignored our requests for comment" after the media outlet obtained his MTSU transcript from an old job application. On February 27, NewsChannel 5 published Ogles's transcript, which showed that Ogles took only one economics course at a community college, scoring a C pass, while he passed nine (and failed several other) political science courses at MTSU.191 By February 28,
Ogles's congressional biography was edited to simply state: "Andy obtained his degree from
MTSU."[11] NewsChannel 5 also investigated Ogles' claims of having done graduate work in marketing at Vanderbilt University's Owen School of Management and Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, and learned that Ogles took online non-credit courses in certificate programs rather than graduate courses. 6]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gouysuoxatjdb5bjcqe4sfh7/bafkreie6dkyxumv2paq55q2ncpptvmcm4zpbpwlm5iwl47nzeipyym7xqq@jpeg)

remember how Milley walked, in uniform, with Trump to St. John’s church during the BLM protests. he considered resigning, but didn’t, saving his one chance to tell Trump to go fuck himself for Jan 6th
![Unsent resignation letter
Milley reportedly considered resigning over the incident in front of the St. John's Church, going so
far as to draft a highly critical resignation letter to President Trump, but then deciding against handing the letter over to him. The resignation letter draft was later published in 2022. 85. At the last minute before submitting the resignation letter to the president, Milley opted against resignation and instead apologized for his presence at the St. John's Church incident in a video recorded as his
commencement address at the National Defense University on 11 June. At the commencement speech he explained that he should not have been at the event because his presence created a perception of military involvement in domestic politics. 86][87]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gouysuoxatjdb5bjcqe4sfh7/bafkreibe2ov5jtugyuxmozds4emllv75bdl66gbvgnxiyhs2nvoewykh4y@jpeg)

It is 11 month later and congestion pricing is still in effect.
how could he overturn the midterms in New York when he can’t even stop us from collecting a congestion toll?

lol i just found out that a hardcore NIMBY who tries to pretend that she’s a progressive is running for city council in my district.
given the fact that she led anti-housing rallies with Curtis Sliwa and Vickie Paladino i think her odds of winning the democratic primary are pretty low

while I generally find the “you’re just a smug elite” trope to be used in tedious ways to launder anti-intellectual populism, it’s especially funny when the editor in chief of Vox (and former NYT reporter) uses it against an elections blogger in North Carolina

Hasan is subtweeting AOC because she said Hamas is bad. he’s honestly so annoying.
It’s bad when:
-Hamas targets civilians
-Israeli settlers target civilians in the West Bank
-IDF targets civilians in Gaza
-ICE targets civilians in the US
I think that killing civilians is bad. it’s not that deep

This is preposterous.
First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car.
Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle Show more
