Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 09/10/2026
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

What is the purpose of having a liar on your show? One in an administration that is barring your network from covering the president? Is to help spread the lies even as you give tepid pushback?

We arrested the man who owned rape island. We arrested the woman who brought victims to rape island. But somehow, we still haven’t arrested the men who paid to rape those victims on rape island. Justice made it all the way to the island, then stopped at the disturbingly wealthy guest list.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

My three-year-old was at the Ed Sheeran concert when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why isn't the nice white rapper performing?" And when I told her "Because an old guy who visits teen-aged prostitutes had him cancelled," she started crying.

Unfortunately it looks like it won't be possible to stop Trump from building his ridiculous arch. Which is why it's all the more important that as soon as Democrats take power, they crush that sucker into dust. My latest at MS NOW: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Trump won the battle over his awful arch. The next Democratic president can win the war.
There is no better way to reverse the lawlessness of the Trump era that than to remove the monuments he has erected to himself.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member. 
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling
The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.
A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.
