From NY POST on this story: "The NYPD also confirmed Mamdani only used the gym during off hours and has not disrupted any recruit training."

🎯🎯

NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!

Also, Joe Kernen is a piece of shit.

In other words: “You brown people should be grateful to live in a country where the vice-president calls you weasels in public”

He's going to get a nasty call from the Trump administration for not blaming Biden.

Jan is CBS’s legal correspondent. She gave the puff piece interview to Alito on his book. She’s criticized people who criticize the Court too much / in certain ways. She’s a perfect case study in why some mainstream/legacy media press coverage of SCOTUS is broken, bad, and misleading.

Marisa's entire piece is terrific, but this part has really stuck with me. A group of College Republicans decided that El-Sayed wasn't "welcome" in the Senate and set out to stop him.

The largest donor in the history of the GOP uses his massive social media platform to promote far-right, eliminationist, pro-Putin, and sometimes even pro-Hitler propaganda. Now here's another article about how Democrats must distance themselves from Hasan Piker.

Kimberly Guilfoyle’s resignation wasn’t really about the blatant corruption she was accused of during her time as an envoy—it was because she broke Donald Trump’s most important rule, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Katie Zacharia was practicing law the right way. by Ezra Klein

I have a suggestion about where to start . . .

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

I converted to Catholicism six weeks before running for office. Here’s what the pope gets wrong about live-streamed executions.

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

There’s a right way and there’s a wrong way to report on Trumpian extremism. Right way: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u... Wrong way: wapo.st/4yElwyB

Discovering that Kimberly Guilfoyle is, indeed, absolute trash makes me glad she was with Don Jr.

Either there's a factory churning out Nazi failsons or Andrew Giuliani, David Ellison and Eric Trump are all related.

Not even close to making sense. We’d be better off with a rotting head of lettuce in the White House

The great Dennis Hastert has died. I hope the dirty snitches are happy. by Jim Jordan

Donald Trump has always been coarse. It's just one of many reasons he was rejected by Manhattan's Upper East Side society, dismissed as a vulgar, unpolished loudmouth from Queens. He was pitiably stung by their rebuff. And resents his MAGA followers for not being able to confer societal pedigree.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

Rep. Rich McCormick blames OBAMA for high gas prices in the year of our lord 2026

"And don't get me started on what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did to cause today's high gas prices."

We shouldn't kid ourselves about the biggest reason why Democrats are ahead 9 points in the generic polls: it's the Iran war and the high gas prices it caused. It's not that Americans are afraid for our democracy or mad about DOGE or mad about measles, it's Iran.

Then: Woodward and Bernstein Now:

Trump’s attacks on CNN raise new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state. by Jake Tapper

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

The left keep their crazies in check. The right wing have their crazies running everything. Left kicks out guys like Platner. Right embrace and promote them. Left kicked out Bob Menendez. Right protect and support guys like Paxton. It’s just not close. Ideal? No. Better than GOP? Unequivocally yes.

Trump is doing direct video the right way by Ezra Klein

Humbled by losses, a chastened Trump strikes a new tone. New York Times, November 5

They’re worried about chemtrails? They’re looking at emissions?! After what they’ve done to the EPA?! Now *that’s* gall.

On the Hell Gate Podcast, we surveyed the conversations surrounding the 25th anniversary of 9/11 (which involved certain people spewing 2002 vintage bigotry). The latest scandal? Our mayor passed a pen to a guy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1bv...

Here’s that disgraceful criminal at the Pentagon’s 25th 9/11 memorial service.

My helo shot from the late 80s. The Twin Towers, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island.

I post this every year on 9/11. Never forget. bsky.app/profile/ronf...
