“What is that expression, ‘Running toward the bullets?’ I had a slight tendency to do that in my career which feels very prescient given the moment.” ⁦Ramsey Khalifeh رمزي خليفة⁩ with the profile of the latest university president in the spotlight. gothamist.com/news/campus-pr…

The “Trump is definitely gonna win” tone of two months ago was embarrassing. The “Biden’s got this” tone after the SOTU was embarrassing. The amount to which coverage shifts every two weeks based on the whims of individual poll….embarrassing!!

I miss you, friend.

Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries out with a statement condemning students and protesters on college campuses in New York.

(About an hour ago, Speaker Johnson announced he'll visit students at Columbia University tomorrow)

'Behind closed doors, Hinds-Radix was fiercely opposed to having the city’s lawyers represent Adams and was unhappy with being forced to do so, sources said.'

Randy Mastro will most certainly be the mayor's attorney

We should be concerned.
