Cuomo let tens of housands of rent-regulated units be converted to market value until finally, when he had no way out, he signed in 2019 the bill overturning vacancy decontrol.

Now he’s trying a divide and conquer strategy against Mamdani for living in a rent-stabilized unit in Queens for which he pays a not inconsiderable rent.

Cuomo is proposing a new attack on rent regulation via his completely arbitrary demand for income caps on eligibility–a disastrous idea that would result in massive displacement–as if there isn’t enough of that in our city already.

Cuomo’s latest scheme to undermine rent regulation will, of course, be a windfall to the developers who fund his campaign.

Trump’s stroll goes rogue, and he’s unable to walk in a straight line. One more basic sign of Alzheimer’s demonstrated by the president.

Time to talk about Biden’s cognitive decline, right?

Noel Casler writes that “FOX News, more than anything else, laid the groundwork for the stupidity that infects MAGA and their clown king.”

Not surprisingly, no one on Trump’s Honors list is a classical artist. He has no interest or knowledge whatsoever about those fields. But that only perpetuates the trend in recent years, as the Honors committee decided that only corporate mono culture should be acknowledged.

Now, of course, Trump’s selection and hosting of the Honors will completely obliterate its relevance and gravitas.

There are other tells that tip you off to the fact that Trump knows exactly how big a whopper he is spewing–watch the way his eyes suddenly close.

You’d think that the Trump crime family would have a lick or two of common sense about the courts–but no, they’re too high on their own supply.

Can’t wait to see Melania deposed about Jeffrey Epstein when she sues [?!!] Hunter Biden.

As the University prepares (even after its wins in court) to capitulate to extortionist Trump, puppet president Garber must resign; he has compromised Harvard’s reputation in perpetuity. And eminence grise Ackman, who forced out the previous president, must be banned from having any communication with Harvard whatsoever.

As if Trump hadn’t already made America the laughing stock (and the cautionary tale) of the world, he now turns the Kennedy Center Honors into another Trump side show. He will be the dumbest, most unfit host the Honors have ever had. Perhaps he’ll perform his fellatio pantomime again to display his devotion to the arts.

It’s not only the clotted, whiny delivery and the chipmunk scowl, it’s the ridiculously florid, Trumpian gestures. Vance is someone whose basic personality is a tabula rasa: he has no core convictions or principles, and he will take on the coloration of anyone powerful around him. He’s yet another reminder that in today’s America, you don’t need any legitimate qualifications whatsoever to get ahead in politics.

Enormous flash protests in Los Angeles, as citizens take to the streets to vent their fury at the latests assaults on the city by ICE. Now Columbus, Ohio has built an eight-mile human chain to register their objection to the fascist Trump regime and its attempt to turn our great country into ap police state.

Remember: the revolution against Trump’s tyranny will not be televised.
