Good lawsuit. Not only should this stupid ad be pulled, the court should order repayment of the expended tax money to the US Treasury.

On the down side, my Rangers lost opening night against the #Bruins. On the plus side, I got to have a text fight with my big brother and he got to gloat. So feels more like a win for me than it should. #NYR

Michael I. Kotlikoff, Robert A. Harrington, Ryan T. Lombardi and Brian White. Who decided the Cornell 7 should write an essay instead of facing justice.

Another excellent editorial from the ironically named Cornell Daily Sun (sun ain't daily in Ithaca). This time, we see a re-opening of a 2024 case of alleged brutal sexual assault. Kotlikoff and the Trustees are obligated to pursue this far further than they've done to date.

We should try having some group of people who get to vote on approving agency heads like OMB director.

Sen. Susan Collins

@SenatorCollins
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse. 
 
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.  
  
Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
 
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
 
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

Plenty of people say voting does nothing (thankfully very few who read my stuff). The infallible response is below ⤵️. Today, SCOTUS acted to disenfranchise more voters. No process or oral arguments. Please remind any folks in your life who are unhappy, but discouraged, that their vote is power.

Worth noting that Susan Collins and her minions aren't denying this part. That $$ coulda gone to BIW. It coulda gone to some other legit project. Instead it went to a sham that never yielded anything useful and wasn't meant to. The point was just to use the US taxpayer as a piggybank. #MEpolitics
ProPublica tweet:


Emails show Collins’ office pushed the Navy to award specific contracts to Navatek, even though awards are meant to be competitive. 

“I spoke with Sen. Collins office regarding the $8M,” a naval official wrote. “The interested company is Navatek.”

Remember when folks were "cutting the cord" to get rid of pricey cable? Sadly, for many people streaming service is like a necessary utility as opposed to a choice for being entertained. I have TV, I'm not above this thing, but recognize it's a choice--the cost and the content.

Good quick thread for New Yorkers focused on the Sunnyside development--this last post absolutely on point. Fascinating how Trxmp has always been tuned in to the New York dramatis personae. It's more than just real estate. He's deeply obsessed with this town.

When Mamdani and Trump had their first meeting last Nov., Trump absolutely put a stake through the heart of Elise Stefanik's central gubernatorial argument that the mayor-elect was an extremist jihadist etc.; she dropped out weeks later. Today it was Bruce Blakeman's turns to be sorely disappointed.

Interesting take below. Most interesting to me: Trxmp's going to Zohran, not the other way around. Both of these New Yorkers know, that's a concession from Trxmp. Zohran also knows Trxmp's promises mean nothing. Tons of layers here. Just fascinating.

Still expect the GOP will vastly outperform expectations because, apparently, communism. And vote rigging. But this price can't be ignored and could provide what my dad would call "a swift kick in the pants" (why that dumb phrase sticks in my memory I cannot say; it doesn't even make sense).
