When I’m indicted by Blanche’s DOJ on some bullshit, the NYPost will run a sad, out-of-context photo of me to prove my guilt.

Blue Heron Farm@blueheronfarm.bsky.social · 3h agoDoes this unflattering and cropped photo capture him at the moment of doing something related to his oil and gas assets? If not it’s bad journalism.

No problem with Molly Jong-Fast’s choice to have plastic surgery in pursuit of “making a living” on TV as a political commentator. But why does TV employs someone with zero experience in politics or a history of studying or writing about politics as a commentator on politics?
The mother of all constitutional crises is supposed to be when Trump openly defies the Supreme Court. Will it be over a ballroom?
Luke Radel@lukeradel.bsky.social · 2d agoCranes are still spinning over the White House after Trump’s ballroom was dealt a major blow in court. @meidastouch.com on the North Lawn:

Reuters@reuters.com · 2d agoUS House Democrats preparing for a possible return to power are developing a broad investigative strategy targeting companies and financial firms surrounding President Donald Trump, instead of trying to impeach him immediately, according to sources reut.rs/4wQBDrX
I happened to drop in on an episode of the Paramount+ show, Lioness. S3E1. Tyler Sheridan, portraying a character he created, delivering lines he likely wrote, orders his Delta Force team to execute a group of captive and disarmed Russian soldiers and torture their commander. Nobody balked.

Trump is always plunging and cratering and falling and tumbling.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2w agoRemarkable: Dems have now pulled even with the GOP *on immigration* in two new national polls. A third finds Trump 22 points underwater on the the issue, and *32 points* underwater among independents. Trump has absolutely destroyed the GOP advantage on immigration. newrepublic.com/article/2138...

Reich advances a weak case against Dimon here. Feels like he accidentally deleted a few paragraphs.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2w agoThink of Trump as a boil — an infected pustule on the giant ass of the American system. The boil would have become infected eventually because of deeper flaws in how the system has evolved. Let me introduce you to the first piece of why our system is failing: Jamie Dimon.

Incorrect headline from the @nytimes.com No reporter spoke to his doctor. The actual story cites a letter released from McConnell’s office purportedly written by McConnell himself. But the NYT did not seek to question or confirm the authenticity of the letter.

Seriously. Most Dems probably think DSA is just an idea, a reaction to the affordability crisis. But this? It’s like she was conjured by the ghosts of 1970s NYC, found on a park bench feeding pigeons. She will be famous on Twitter by tomorrow.

Movie idea: A racially diverse group of dude-bros go to Army ranger school. 3 hr epic. First 2:55, they struggle and succeed in brutal challenge after challenge, become army rangers. Last 5 minutes, lots of bravery and loyalty as they are all killed by an enemy drone swarm.
Brynn Tannehill@brynntannehill.bsky.social · 3w agoWhen your average Russian gets hit with a drone in Ukraine, the pilot could be a trans cat-girl for all they know. Conversely: the only difference between a beefcake Russian soldier getting hit by a drone and a malnourished 50-year old alcoholic is the size of the chunks they leave behind.
The traditional reform synagogues in NYC are struggling to hold it together. The “liberal” Rabbi over at Stephen Wise has lost his friggin’ mind over Mamdani and Lander. He thinks he’s Demosthenes delivering the Philippics. But the Central Synagogue. We need the Central Synagogue.
UWS Pete@uwspete.bsky.social · 3w agoI take both sides on this one. The Mayor knew full well from the outset that ordering the arrest of Bibi was not a legal option. NYC hosts the UN, is not part of the ICC, and Manhattan has an independently elected DA. So why the ham handed announcement to pretend-study the issue?
In Nolan's Trojan Horse, the Greeks were probably a day or two away from a cholera epidemic.
This is genuinely alarming. Could easily pass for a B-movie from the 60’s or a TV miniseries from 1978. If you had seen this 3 years ago what would you have guessed?

The new owner will save ~$2.5 billion over the next 15 years in Federal income taxes on his annual $500m income. Because he bought a football team. If he bought S&P index funds, he'd get none of that. I'd like to see a real accountant work me through all this.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is really something. Republicans privately fear Trump is now trapped in a "quagmire" in Iran that is set to screw them badly in the midterms, per Politico. They did this to themselves by giving this madman a blank check for the war. We detail it all on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2133...

I hate Bibi with the heat of a thousand suns but 1. NYC hosts the UN, doesn’t arrest visitors on diplomatic visas. 2. NYC has independently elected prosecutors. Mayor shouldn’t be ordering arrests. 3. The US is not party to the ICC. 4. Extradition requests are handled by federal judges.
