Hasan Piker: “A republican congressperson from Ohio torched his fucking wife with boiling water. The president is Donald Grab ‘Em By The Pussy Trump. The president has been in a civil trial found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. Graham Platner is not even up there in terms of what Republican and Democrat congresspersons have done”
I’m not saying Graham Platner should or shouldn’t be a candidate for a Senate seat, but I am saying that the media’s treatment of Platner as compared to its treatment of Ken Paxton is the same as the media’s treatment of Joe Biden as compared to its treatment of Donald Trump. The media bolsters the MAGA narrative that there’s never a decent Democrat nor an indecent MAGA Republican.
@LifeSciVC Well said Bruce. Maybe I missed it, but I did not see costs directly addressed. FDA efficiency of review will not address the too high costs for drug development. More complex molecules with high pharmaceutical dev costs and way too expensive clinical trials.
Mamdani: My dream is not that we hold every bad landlord accountable. My dream is that we don’t have to. My dream is that every landlord is responsive to their tenants and that every landlord is following housing code. And I know that there are many landlords who are like that.
The issue, however, is that there are a number of bad landlords who have been able to operate with impunity, with no consequences for their actions. And part of what this housing plan puts forward is specifically funding to ensure that we can hold these kinds of landlords accountable, and especially the top 10 worst landlords in New York City, so that we can actually start to explore all of the tools we need to transfer ownership of those properties to people who will actually steward them safely, whether they’re a nonprofit, a community land trust, or the tenants themselves.
That is how we are looking at this because, frankly, this is the law, and for too long housing code has been treated like a suggestion, not a requirement.

“Sorry your son got blown up by an insurgent group in a country we invaded based on lies. But he knew the risks when he signed up. You can’t blame politicians who started the war.”
Is this the message Republicans want to send to our veterans?
In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969.
This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.
Finished the afternoon at The Busy Bee the same way we started, speaking about tackling issues that matter most to Georgians: the affordability crisis, the health care crisis, and the Donald Trump Crisis
Stopped by Paschal’s Restaurant & Bar for lunch and ran into some friends and supporters!

As a state legislator and a Lt. Governor, I’ve worked to stand up for Georgia families – even when it meant taking on a sitting president.
As governor, I’ll stand up for 11 million Georgians and make you all proud.
