The Times, the Post and the Daily News can each wax wroth in its chosen dialect; Sid Rosenberg can turn purpler; the effervescent Jess Tisch can even run for mayor but this does NOT put a dent in the coalition that will handily re-elect Mamdani in 3 years; mil perdones

Going to break the brains of our Great & the Good that Mamdani got elected more *because* of the sentiments expressed today than in spite of them 😔

Your 1,384th reminder that the Supreme Court's grant of criminal immunity to sitting presidents was an epochal dereliction of duty. It needs to be wiped from the books as soon as possible.

Was fortunate enough to see the Ryman show at the Barbican this morning and what a beautiful thing it is. Some of the works are so gorgeous, so simple.

A small Ryman painting, in a box frame, which seems to be on a dishcloth, with two red lines at the bottom. There’s a tangle of white paint above.

Good statement. Mamdani’s main responsibility is municipal governance of course but it’s refreshing to have a mayor who’s a voice of sanity and decency on war, peace, and Washington policy ⚖️ 🕊️

The war crimes committed by Hamas and associated groups are not a good reason for the U.S. to arm, fund and shield Israel. U.S. government policy has to change!

If they could run a little Pataki they’d do very well. If Harris had won the presidency then the plausibly moderate Rep. Lawler would be ahead of Hochul in the polls rn, if only he could prevail in a CHUD primary

It could be a lot worse! But if Team Mamdani is going to do any of the big things they campaigned on (and in my view, are mostly capable of doing) they need the added revenue that can only come from a state tax hike on high incomes and wealth

I respect her acumen in being the sole NY Dem to recognize Mamdani is the future, and I will enjoy a humiliation of Blakeman, the gauleiter of my county, but in both cases I'd love MORE

Hochul is a socially liberal but otherwise conservative wealthy Buffalo suburbanite. The state of New York deserves so much better. If she changes course to raise additional revenue through progressive taxation I will be happy to retract this judgment

Many wish to believe that when centrist factions unite to back hubristic military violence it’s the opposite of sinister or extreme, it’s just wholesome “bipartisanship”

Have to wonder how a Democratic candidate who was politically skilled (good speaker, good comms team, charismatic – all unlike Hochul) and who favors a tax hike on the 1% (also unlike Hochul) would be faring against spluttery red-faced Blakeman

I’m getting some responses like this, which miss my point. While it affirms centrist amour-propre to imagine those to their left/right being united in some sinister extremist project, the united center-right/left have no shortage of hellacious violence on their resume bsky.app/profile/spid...

McGurk made policy for W/Cheney, Obama, Trump I and Biden. His new memoir, defending war policies continued by Trump II, is now praised by a prominent Dem Senator. This is the sinister “horseshoe theory,” no? Why not?

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.
