Yes, it's the one with the most power to actually make that happen. To rebuke a Democrat who is attacking a fellow Democrat - a big no-no, we're told, and from someone in his own state to boot - would send a strong message. If you need it dumbed down: it is far, far worse that it's the NY gov.

A governor cannot be considered a simple "local politician". He is the leader of a state calling for "fellow Democrats" to ignore the will of the people and run a conservative Democratic candidate in the general election.

STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR DAVID PATERSON ON NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL RACE

NEW YORK-Following a morning press conference outside of WABC Radio's studios calling for unity within the Democratic Party in advance of November's election, New York State's 55th governor, David Paterson, released the following statement. Paterson also previously served as Democratic State Party Chair.
"I have been very clear in my position that I simply do not believe Zohran Mamdani is the best person to lead New York City in these extremely turbulent times. We just saw a federal budget passed and signed that will create havoc on New Yorkers in the coming years in our education system, the health care community and for hard-working families already struggling to make ends meet. We cannot afford ideas without a plan for implementation or funding.
Mr. Mamdani ran a successful Primary campaign, with tremendous ads and a well-done social media strategy that engaged young voters in a way we have not seen to date. However, the General Election is a very different electorate that encompasses the entirety of the city. I truly believe my fellow Democrats will be doing a disservice to the people they wish to serve if they do not come together and decide to support whichever candidate has the most support among them in advance of November 4th.
We are living in a critically important time in our country's history and the most populous city in America will need true leadership to navigate this moment. That leadership will need to show itself in the coming months, before ballots are printed and voters start returning ballots by mail.
As public polls and surveys are revealed over these coming weeks, it is my hope and belief that the other candidates still in the race will come to the logical conclusion that New York City needs the most effective leader to navigate what comes next and that cannibalizing each other's support will be doing a disservice to the millions of people who call New York 'home'."

Because he's been enduring so many attacks from both Democrats and Republicans, and the purportedly liberal media. His endorsement would help quell those attacks - to say yes, he is a true Democrat and, yes, he is the next mayor of NYC.

The Cass Review has not been peer-reviewed. But it has now been critiqued in depth and from every angle and fully discredited as pseudoscience by ELEVEN peer-reviewed publications. So when the government uses the Cass Review to justify any policies it is not “following the science”.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The Government is continuing its work with the National Health
Service to reform gender services, to ensure young people receive timely, holistic care and support, while reviewing the use of cross-sex hormones in line with recommendation eight of the Cass Review.
The Cass Review said that NHS England should review its policy on cross-sex hormones. The review noted that the option to provide cross-sex hormones is available for patients aged 16 years old and over, but that
"extreme caution" was recommended along with a "strong clinical rationale for providing hormones before the age of 18". In line with Dr Cass's recommendations, every case for treatment is now discussed by a national multi-disciplinary team, and NHS England is reviewing its clinical commissioning policy on cross-sex hormones. A public consultation on the evidence is anticipated to take place this summer, and an updated policy is expected to be in place by April 2026.
With regard to private prescribing, a working group has been established by NHS England to provide advice to Government officials and the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer. The remit of the working group is to provide practical advice on the operational consequences of introducing any restrictions on private prescribing and advice on how to manage any risks to patients. The working group is made up of consultant endocrinologists, pharmacy and primary care leads, and national commissioners.
It is not the working group's role to decide whether restrictions on private prescribing should, or should not, be introduced. Neither is the group providing advice on the future use of cross-sex hormones by NHS clinicians. The Department will use the outputs of the working group to inform ongoing policy development.

It is so unbelievably funny. And after 12 seasons the voice actor for the main squid got fired for posting racist shit... even though his character was a clear mockery of right-wing assholes who are dependent on government (welfare, etc) yet hate the government and others who take "handouts".

Firstly, he made a Facebook post, via Variety, that criticized singer Dolly Parton for wearing a Black
Lives Matter shirt. Here's what he
said, rather vulgarly:
"So, now this freak titted,
old Southern bimbo is
a BLM Lover? Remember,
slut, Rednecks made you
a Millionaire!"
Obviously a comment like that is
due for some backlash, and Stuart D. Baker had a response for that as well:
"HAVE FUN forsaking
your own race, culture
and heritage," he said
after telling any offended
"liberals" to unfriend him
if they didn't like what he
had to say.

They did a similar thing on Squidbillies. Dan Halen created a chicken that was 99% chicken wings with celery stalks for limbs. Eating it unfortunately caused cancer, and Halen couldn't figure out how to get it to "defecate its own to-go box"
A scene from the Adult Swim show Squidbillies where Dan Halen, local evil billionaire, serves the local sheriff a writhing mass of chicken wings that is actually a living chicken he genetically engineered. Restaurant is called "ain't nothing but a wing."
