I was told Zohran Mamdani would instantly turn New York into a crime-ridden hellscape. Yet murders are down almost 20%, year over year. 203 people have been slain, about 22.5 per month. In 1990, that average was *251 per month.* NYC has never been this safe.

It feels crazy to need to write this, but journalists should not be arrested because the president doesn’t like the way they report on the sizes of his crowds. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Trump keeps demanding criminal punishment for reporting he dislikes — including about his crowd sizes

Every Republican in Congress supports the rehabilitation of Richard Nixon because not a one of them has the courage or integrity of the Republicans serving in Congress in 1973.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Speaking as someone who wrote a book on the government’s Doomsday plans, one challenge: “Martial law” isn’t actually something that exists in the US in the way it exists in other countries. There are ways to nationalize or deploy troops, but “declaring martial law” isn’t some magic button to press.
