Last year, Mike Lawler looked you in the eye and said “I will not cut Medicaid.” Then he was the deciding vote for Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” enabling the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

What works for the devolving GQP, which worships a genocidal madman, is the faux anger, rage, based on lies, grifting, treachery, cruelty, hypocrisy. When are the good folks going to be pissed off based on truth, justice, and kindness? As a chorus? When? Anger, rage, is, sadly, a litmus for truth.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

This whole Trumpster-owned media ban is yet another variant of a false flag. And Trump and his goons are having a blast with it. The so-called “Fourth Estate“ has uniquely coddled this genocidal madman for years and, with exceptions, hasn’t laid a glove on him.

Among other forces in the caldron, law regarding fascism, dictatorship, might-makes-right, is a lot easier than the communal law that pertains to the fragile equal rights & democracy. While law books continue to bloat with exceptions, band aids, it marks a deteriorating arc of basic human decency.

Trump’s invitation to Putin to attend the G20 in Florida in December is outrageous and totally undermines Western solidarity with Ukraine. This US govt is enabling autocracy, and arguably colluding with Putin’s despotic regime. Other Western leaders mustn’t be party to this. They should not attend.

The reason why impartiality, fairness, basic decency, empathy, equality, compassion, are so vital to any semblance of a healthy civilization, is that they are difficult. It takes thought, community, effort, due process to preserve, nurture those traits. Once thought, as Franklin said, self evident.
