It wouldn't even surprise me if the Democratic leadership response to MAGAs would be to run Cuomo and Schumer as president and vice presidential candidates in 2028. #USPol #Cuomo #Schumer #Clown #Losers
It is time to go, Chuck. You are the past. Go into an upstate old folks' home with your bitter friend, Cuomo.

Baffling Political Miscalculation It is now Election Day in New York, and...

TPM - Talking Points Memo

Someone just posted that instead of candy they're giving ROCKS to kids on #Halloween

What kind of sick monster gives kids...

Opinion | Lawrence Summers: This Law Made Me Ashamed of My Country

A focus on economics misses the human brutality that is the most problematic aspect of this legislation.

The New York Times
I deeply resent the fact that I have to spend time otherwise needed to help solve serious #climate and #water problems to trying to defend America, science, and democracy from homegrown fascists, ideologues,war mongers, and just plain dangerous idiots. But here we are.
Well played.

I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now.

I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.

The destruction of independent US #science and medicine continue, with #RFKJr removing all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine advisory board, after lying and promising Republican senators he would NOT do so.
