Lt. Aldo Raine: How 'bout you, Utivich, can you abide it? Pfc. Smithson Utivich: Not one damn bit, sir. Canada-adjacent.

Chris Sommerfeldt@c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social · 11h agoMayor Zohran Mamdani announces that New York City is issuing cease and desist letters to more than 40 retailers selling illegal e-bikes (generally, vehicles that can go faster than local speed limits allow). The targeted retailers include Amazon and Best Buy.
10km per hr makes a huge difference in a family member coming home or not.
And on cue, another (speeding?) driver wrapped their car around a utility pole on Parkside Drive this morning. There used to be speed cameras on Parkside Drive.
A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)
What Happens When Speed Cameras Get Shut Off
In 2025, Ontario banned automated traffic enforcement. Now the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit has surged, according to traffic data.

Sen. PADILLA: Todd Blanche was asked if he and Trump were friends. He said ‘I’m his lawyer.’ That’s a remarkable slip. The first words out of his mouth when asked that question were ‘I’m his lawyer.’ The Attorney General isn’t supposed to be the President’s lawyer.
Last week, while walking my daughter home from camp in her stroller, a car with Virginia plates and $8000 in NY traffic fines blew threw a red light and honked at us to get out of the way while we crossed the street. Maybe start there instead of some dramatized Citi Bike nonsense.
Speaker Julie Menin@speakermenin.bsky.social · 2d agoEvery New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around. That’s why the NYC Council is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.
One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d agoIt was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.
They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.
Pretty convenient that Trump gets immunity from IRS audits for the year where he made, by far, the most money of his entire life in shady deals all over the globe. His should get a special “Trust me, bro” tax form from the IRS to submit.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3d agoWhen Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.
So, "OK Google, when it will stop raining?" gets a "Sorry, I don't understand", But "OK Google, is it raining?" gets an answer — "Looks like right now there's a very high chance of precipitation." #gemini #googlehome
Rep. Mike Turner really watched Margaret Brennan read court docs alleging a politician shoved his wife and held a gun to her head and replied, "that type of speculation is better for TMZ than CBS." Accountability is apparently just trashy gossip to these people.
RFK Jr. is now telling parents to vaccinate their children against measles. It only took 2,371 confirmed infections, the highest number recorded in 35 years. Better late than never… unless you are one of those families that had to learn this lesson the hard way. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
If Trump wanted the war ended he would tell Putin to GTFO of Ukraine. But, since he works for Putin, he has never done that and never will.
Republicans hate scientists because facts don’t care about feelings.
New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

tomwellborn3rd@wellborn.net · last wk.Kim Davis told the court under oath she'd made no transfers over two thousand dollars in five years. Deeds show she moved three parcels worth over four hundred thousand to family members eight months before that. She wants the martyrdom without the debt.
GB News go on air every day and make out like climate change isn't happening. Then, when a wildfire breaks out in the UK, they scramble for anything to blame – anything BUT the massive climate elephant in the room 🐘🙈🙈🙈 1/2 #suffolkwildfire
Dr. Fauci, who saved millions of lives in the USA, is getting treatment harsher than all the Epstein perpetrators. America is fundamentally damaged to its core.
As I said would happen, Kevin Warsh is a disaster. Investors and firms are unhappy because he won’t give any forward guidance. He won’t give any guidance because if he’s honest it doesn’t look great, and if he’s dishonest it’s because he is obviously loyal to trump, not the country. Riding the fence
Yall are about to do some crazy shit in the Wisconsin Gov race too: Hong the frontrunner is a self declared DSA member- a group who put out a plan to close all the prisons and open all the borders If WI has an R gov for 2028 good luck getting shit certified.
@jamellebouie.net calls out Elon Musk's racism, and I am here for it. "Musk spends a large part of his free time fomenting violence and spreading the same hateful ideology that motivated some of the deadliest shootings and attacks ever to happen on American soil. ...
