I Checked in With Curtis Sliwa. He Still Doesn’t Care What You Think.

/

When Curtis Sliwa called me on Wednesday afternoon, the failed New York City Republican mayoral candidate sounded chipper, even a bit boastful. “Everybody loves Curtis,” Sliwa told me. “It’s just a question of getting them to vote for you.” But everybody does not, in fact, love the red beret–wearing subway vigilante turned mayoral candidate. His […]

“He’s One Of Us”: Muslim New Yorkers Greet Mamdani’s Victory With Pride

/

Timothy Rodriguez has lived in New York all his life. But the notion of a Muslim mayor never entered the realm of possibility for him. That changed Tuesday when Zohran Mamdani’s victory made him New York’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor-elect. “It’s a big win for New York City, of course, it’s a big win […]

How Trump’s DOJ Wiped Out a Pioneering Anti-Violence Nonprofit

/

One Tuesday night in April, Mikaela Levons, head of development at Equal Justice USA (EJUSA), a criminal and racial justice nonprofit, had just wrapped up a phone call and was preparing to cook dinner for her kids when an email landed in her inbox. It came from the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) at the […]

Trump Brags He Could Invade Your City Whenever He Wants

He bragged to correspondent Norah O’Donnell that, thanks to the Insurrection Act of 1792, he can invade your city whenever he wants. He said immigration raids—including acts of police violence such as […]

Obama’s Stumping for Democrats. Trump’s at Mar-a-Lago.

/

Where’s Obama, you ask? The better question may be, where’s Trump? Former President Barack Obama spent Saturday supporting Democratic candidates in three of the most consequential races of this week’s elections. President Donald Trump, on the other hand, spent the weekend partying and golfing at Mar-a-Lago—a reflection of what has been his uncharacteristically reserved approach […]

Report: Anti-Abortion Leaders Helped Tank Trump’s Promise of Free IVF

/

Anti-abortion advocates haven’t just played key roles in rolling back abortion rights in recent years. They also helped tank President Donald Trump’s campaign-trail promise to make in vitro fertilization free. That’s according to a new report published Saturday in Politico, which reveals that anti-abortion activists—some of whom are opposed to IVF because it involves discarding […]

George Santos Is Already Back on Network TV

/

In a ridiculous social media post the day before he headed off to federal prison for what was supposed to be a more than seven-year sentence, disgraced ex-congressman and known fabulist George Santos wrote, “I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit.” Less than three months later, Santos […]

Trump and Johnson Are Melting Down Over The Success of “No Kings”

/

Saturday’s “No Kings” protests were, as my colleagues chronicled, about as wholesome as you could imagine. There were inflatable animals. There were American flags galore. Even the New York Police Department admitted that the 100,000 protesters were peaceful and that cops made no arrests; police in Washington, DC and Austin, Texas said the same. But […]

So Much for Trump’s Promise of Free IVF

/

In the Oval Office on Thursday, several Cabinet members and advocates for in vitro fertilization (IVF) gathered to claim that President Donald Trump was delivering on his campaign trail pledge to radically expand access to the popular but expensive process for getting pregnant. In reality, Thursday’s announcement falls far short of Trump’s prior promise to […]

No One in the GOP Hitler Chat Was a “Kid”

/

Vice President JD Vance would like you to do anything but pay attention to those abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday. And if you do read them, he wants you to think they’re just “kids” saying “edgy, offensive” things. Except that they appear to be full-grown adults, according to Mother […]

The White House Is Already Walking Back Hundreds of Federal Layoffs

/

In Donald Trump’s second term, federal workers have gotten used to being fired and re-hired, and, in some cases, even fired again. As one probationary employee at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) told me earlier this year, working for this administration is “emotionally very turbulent.” This weekend, scores more federal workers are […]
