Wow, they've really got nothing. McCarthy's announcing an impeachment inquiry about... nothing. Most of what he's just accused Biden of has been debunked, and there's no evidence to support it. But, sure, do this instead of keeping the government open.

Announcing an impeachment inquiry without holding a vote to authorize it is the Congressional equivalent of Michael Scott “declaring” bankruptcy. Committees don’t get extra investigatory powers because the speaker says so. 2019 McCarthy thought so too. congress.gov/bill/116th-con…

Just gonna drop this clip from The West Wing where Cliff Calley lets a GOP senator have it for getting into the mud to score cheap points against a Democrat here for no reason. "This is why good people hate us" indeed. youtu.be/oFhLEYHz4sQ?si…

Made my appointment today!

All of NYC heading outside this morning

The press coverage of the 2024 race is starting to look a lot like 2016. Poll-driven coverage, focused on the horserace, is once again creating a dangerous false equivalence between Biden's age and Trump's crimes. messageboxnews.com/p/the-press-is…

I am declaring a State of Emergency across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley due to the extreme rainfall we’re seeing throughout the region. Please take steps to stay safe and remember to never attempt to travel on flooded roads.

My block looks ok (I live on the outskirts of Crown Heights, where HEIGHTS is operative), but some of the images online are bananas. Bless working from home so I don't have to be outside in this.

I believe we are fully embracing the #Autumn season at this point. #fall #TheSimpsons

Sigh. Republicans: *self-destruct* Media: Why didn't Democrats save them? Can we not with this?

Shilese Jones (and Fred Richard, who won the first American medal in men’s gymnastics in quite some time): also great! It was fun watching the championships this week!

I got my hands on a bluesky code so I'm setting up an account there. Who should I follow?

House GOP rn.
