New York Knick José Alvarado and Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the Puerto Rican parade rapping Jadakiss, Fat Joe, and Ja Rule's "New York"📍
1 day after winning the championship
Dude he literally running New York like the average joe in a movie who gets elected into office as a gag and then fixes everything simply because he is not a politician and an earnest regular guy.
The predicament Trump is in, and has been since he started the Iran War with Netanyahu, illustrates why it was so stupid and destructive to start this war in the first place. From the start, there were only two real options:
1) Take seriously all the stated war aims and try to fulfill them, which would require a protracted, self-destructive, devastating, years-long war of the kind Trump spent a decade vowing to avoid, or,
2) End the war quickly and prematurely, and then have to scurry around to find some way to claim that the US "won", which would -- at a minimum -- force Trump to credibly claim he got more than Obama's JCPOA gave, thus justifying all the massive bloodshed, instability and cost from the war.
If reports are correct (and it's a big "if"), Trump is choosing option (2). But his case that he actually won anything consequential beyond what the Obama Deal provided is close to laughable, while the losses to the US (and wins for Iran) are self-evident.
Trump’s name went up on the Kennedy Center in broad daylight.
Removing it? Full scaffolding plus a giant curtain to hide the humiliation from the public.
Nothing screams “strong leader” like draping theater curtains over your own petty rejection. Fragile ego on full display. 😂
A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.
BREAKING: Team Trump is 30 minutes from federal Contempt of Court—no letters have been removed. What may happen soon: work stops for the night; *all* letters are taken off the building; the Trustees announce it’s shuttering forever. But clearly his name won’t be gone by midnight.
I felt really depressed at the start of the day, just by the state of dishonesty & cruelty. I'm closing out the week with deep gratitude for my friends. People who support me. Stand by their principles. Fight for what's right. And make me smile along the way. Thank you.
Really wonder what this growing crowd in D.C. will do when the name DONALD J. TRUMP is still illegally on the Kennedy Center at midnight tonight, which it will be
