You’d think the subject of two assassination attempts would not want to make it easier.

To be fair, Natalie told him to always use the word “military” when using “intervention.”

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Such a considered, deliberative decision. The question of whether it is legal is entirely separate from the question whether the work may continue. SCOTUS is just a real-life kangaroo court.

Hey @mta.info @mayor.nyc.gov Major water leak at Jay St station on the A line.

He lost me at “bad flu season.”

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

He’s lost the plot would be a super generous thing to say. Why does anybody have him as a guest anymore?

I’m not a CNN fan but it is refreshing to see a journalist do their job.

On balance, I’m thinking Emily would rather have a gay dad than an abusive husband.

Nothing he said is true. Not a word.

And we do know what centrists like Gottheimer and Suozzi want to do. For example, a “commission” to study social security. Why? SS is an easy one to fix: scrap the tax cap. But centrists don’t want to do it. Voters aren’t happy with that either.

My mayor, Mamdani, is not giving us Trump or rewriting the NYC charter. (Or Sharia law, shall we remember that one?) The problem that voters are tired of hearing is that when a left wing candidate loses, it’s the left’s fault. When a centrist candidate loses….well that’s the left’s fault too.

Gosh, what will the libertarians do? Hint: they’ll vote Republican anyway.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

But their candidates have been winning elections. What do so called centrists have to show? How many Dems have lost to Susan Collins?

As always you have stiff competition from the media. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Good grief, WTF does “stops short of offering evidence” mean in WaPo world, other than he lied again?

Once you turn the pets into socialists it’s game over.

El-Sayed is a good candidate. But the idea that the left has some secret sauce to win voters is proving false in this race. He is only appealing to the “elite” voters the left purports to challenge. There’s lots of multi-racial coalition building to do if progressives want to win nationally.

I am always suspicious of a Bloomberg endorsement though.

And of course his AI Obama is wearing tan. Because that apparently still bothers these people??

000

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Just the fact they’re actually complaining how 50%+1 is no way to approve of something in a democracy. 🤦🏻‍♂️

080

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

He’s 💯 correct. It takes a helluva lot of privilege to say “I’m only voting for socialists” on principle when you’ve not experienced the racism that drives America’s Black and Brown voters toward actual strategic voting.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

So Emmer thinks that’s a clever talking point? Good grief.

000

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Yes and drop the word “appears.” Mr Pretti does not “appear” to not be threatening anyone with a gun, he simply did no such thing at all.

Let’s see, first they want to say the turbines are so weak they can’t provide power, and then they want to say they’re so powerful they block military grade radar.

@mta.info Thanks for just skipping the 6:51 AM 3 train at Harlem-148. I go here three minutes ahead, a train came into the station and they announce the next train is 20 minutes away, with no irony. Your trip planner also said there was a 6:51.

That medieval tower that collapsed in Italy? Yup, it was a sandwich that brought it down.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

For a party addicted to focus groups and consultants, they’re ignoring reputable national polls like Pew and Gallup and more showing Trump and his policies (including immigration gestapo tactics) are enormously unpopular.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

For the left to make bold electoral moves it collectively must drop its jargon and welcome people who do not agree 💯 of the time. And yes same is true of the so-called middle and “problem solvers.” The right took power this way and by not being lock step.

000

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

And their big story is based on a debate question from 2019, during a presidential election they….won handily.

040

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

If this guy wants to run for president someday, he’ll need to be as bold as he’s been lately. When he was auditioning for VP last year he was too guarded IMO.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

To be fair, they’re really indistinguishable.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

💯 Also, elect me as your next governor.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

And every person who attempts to claim a moral high ground by saying “don’t politicize tragedy,” maybe you shouldn’t have cheered when Trump and the Republican Party vowed to cut these offices. That’s how all this got politicized.

Too early to say Happy 4th? 🤞🏼

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I don’t blame you. And I don’t really support the resignation thing anyway. If they’re going to fire you, let them, but why should *you* walk away when you can continue to use your platform? 🙏🏼

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Well I guess it depends on what the payload is on the planes.

Their grandstanding, especially these two, is audacious to say the least.

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

And MAGA will still reflexively say “damn right I voted for this!!”

000

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

If this were the 12th century, the Israeli right wing would be the Crusaders. This is how they converge to blame the left.

000

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

I am not at all surprised. MAGA looks in the mirror every day and sees a different self. No surprise they look at Trump and see this.

010

pragprog.bsky.social @pragprog.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

💯 Still can’t believe he double rigged the election to both lose and win at the same time. Q Anon must be pissed.

We can scoff all we want, but all it takes is for Thomas or Alito to say bye-bye and we will have SCOTUS justice Ho.
