NY Post has an exclusive about six people arrested from former Soviet republics who allegedly have ties to ISIS. But the article features pictures of South and Central American migrants at the border. Shame on the author, Jennie Taer, and the editors at the Post for worse than usual bigotry.

Better late than never. The NYT Op-ed team always knew how to find subject matter experts who could succinctly discuss the legal issues and odds in Trump’s appeal. Prioritizing the opinions of non-attorneys and non-local practitioners regarding the appeal was a choice.

In this local diner representative of the median New Yorker there was a tradition. Drive in from the New Jersey suburbs, find parking in midtown, then gripe about congestion pricing over everyman eggs and drip coffee. That is until a journalist fact-checked the governor’s bullshit story.

It was never a good look that Hochul sold out millions of New Yorkers because a few diner owners complained about congestion pricing, but now it looks like she might have been lying about that. Whatever the truth, she's cooked. gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...

"We have to make sure that it's not a due burden on everyday New Yorkers." Mayor Adams Trump-talks his way into accidentally calling Congestion Pricing exactly what it is: a "due burden" that is massively outweighed by its benefits.

Now it's official. What a disaster.

Congestion pricing in New York City indefinitely postponed, official saysabc7ny.com An official tells Eyewitness News the implementation of congestion pricing in New York City has been indefinitely postponed. It will not start on June 30 as originally planned.

He was already pretty pissed with his security detail over the prior milkshake incident: “Shortly after the incident, Nigel Farage can be heard telling security ‘how did that happen?’ and ‘how did you not stop that?’”

Fun fact: this genteel authoritarian was sleeping with a friend of mine who was at least 25 years his junior for most of his time as EIC at the WSJ.

And word spread of a new claimant to the throne in Clacton, the Queen by the Sea.

Epilogue:

A good time to remember the Republican party has ZERO Jewish senators and ONLY TWO Jewish house members (less than 1% of total bloc).

Family text threads around the world going crazy as the Jews pass around the news the new President of Mexico is a Jewish lady.

Reread Dune recently and came across this… “Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Frank Herbert, Dune.

sam altman: we need eleventy zillion dollars to build the future of AI, which will impact all of our lives and could go disastrously wrong if we don’t get what we need also sam altman: we have no corporate governance to speak of and are managed like a car dealership

OpenAI has a new safety team — it’s run by Sam Altmanwww.theverge.com Several key OpenAI researchers have resigned over safety concerns.

Heritage's modern-day fascism also illustrates how they flipflopped on traditional conservative values. Heritage's "Mandate for Leadership" in 1988 proposed: - Enabling "freedom fighters" inside Russia and Eastern Europe - Housing vouchers for the unhoused - And a national healthcare mandate!

Really cannot stress how dangerous things are getting here. Heritage foundation is pushing the in distress upside down flag now. This is an overt signal now and should be seen as a threat imo.

Menendez’s Blame-My-Wife Strategy Has Its Riskswww.nytimes.com Senator Robert Menendez is accused of a complicated corruption scheme. His lawyers have tried to shift the blame to his wife, Nadine, who is also charged.

And then those law students become associates at law firms marketing cultures of collegiality in which you are discouraged from raising your voice against a colleague, even when they are working to deprive other Americans of fundamental rights.

Unfortunately, in law schools, we still talk about civility endlessly. The civility of sit back and take it, the civility of respect your betters, the civility of men are talking here. It's exhausting

SCOTUS: it would be improper for justices to meet with congressional representatives to discuss why they should recuse themselves from cases where they have conflict of interest also SCOTUS: totally cool to have some beers with the speaker of the house and hatch a plan to bust a felon out of prison

Every media outlet should be reminding the public that the federal government prosecuted John Edwards on an eerily similar fact pattern involving potentially illegal payments to a mistress to avoid bad press during a presidential campaign. And that the prosecution happened under a Dem president.

As the jury deliberates in the People v. Trump, I wanted to share a related story about progressive pragmatism. My friend Janos Marton was one of the progressive candidates in the Manhattan DA race, running to the left of Alvin Bragg. As the primary drew near polling showed a two-way race... /1
