“Authoritarian regimes gain strength by undermining local institutions and ignoring community voices,”Timoth Snyder writes on his substack today. As in Trump’s Washington, so in New York City, where City Hall lies to us over and over again, institutes policies to shut out the voices of its citizens. Mayor Adams “City of Yes” is all about giving his real estate developer contributors carte blanche and stifling residents ability to resist.

by the avaricious developers and a bought-and-paid for City Hall. The West Village is the first-designated–and one of the largest– historic districts in New York City.  To the developer/municipal governance combine, it represents a firewall that must be breached, and they are doing everything they can to diminish it.

Exactly how many international fascist leaders are attending?  And how many of our own home grown fascist oligarchs?

The Democrats should be expressing outrage.

It took her a (too) long time to reach that conclusion, but hooray for her that she did.

Now, if only the rest of the Democratic party would follow suit.

The Republican party is nothing more–and nothing menacingly less–than the cult of a insane, senile fascist dictator. We know that Sen. Ernst cares so, so much about women in the military, and her work with Sen. Gillibrand is so, so much an exemplary example of the dream of bipartisanship. Yes, we know. And now look at Sen.

It needs to be released, as Rep. Jordan is more traitorous, immoral, and out-of-control than ever.

And Clooney’s $500 million will certainly be able to pay for the lawsuits that may be threatened against the film.

Tom Joseph tweets:

“What we didn’t hear today from a Dem Senator- ‘Attorney General Bondi, may I remind you that Trump is a convicted felon, indicted by four separate grand juries and found guilty of 35 felony counts by a NY jury.” It would’ve taken 10 seconds to say this and shut down the ‘weaponization’ garbage”

The editorial board is now endorsing Trump’s grotesquely unfit cabinet appointees.

WWF honcho Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education?!

I’m afraid the Post is turning into a travesty.

Rule of thumb: You don’t sell a great newspaper to a sociopathic, fascist oligarch.

Jennifer Rubin should write a memoir describing from the inside how Bezos brought down the paper.

She has absolutely none. She had interjected herself into this process on the basis of zilch jurisdiction.
