Trump and the New York Times are aligned in their endorsement, showing once again that liberal “centrists” have more in common with Nazis than anyone who dares propose taxing billionaires or making busses free.
Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!
I know how hard you worked for this.

Remember when Trump announced a multimillion-dollar secret deal with CEO David Ellison?
And then — shocker — Trump approved Ellison buying CBS/Paramount.
Now, Ellison wants to take over CNN/Warner Bros.
This media merger must be blocked as a dangerous concentration of power.

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.
I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.
I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.
