Trump won #EliseStefanik's district by more than 20 points. Now Trump is so worried that if she leaves #Congress to accept the nomination to be UN Ambassador Republicans could lose the special election to replace her. Given the polling plus the reality of who votes in special elections (highly motivated, highly educated voters) I suspect this fear is not unwarranted.

On the one hand this is encouraging because it shows republicans have internal polling that has them legitimately worried.

On the other hand it sucks that Trump was savvy enough to pull Stefanik's nomination. Losing a congressional election in such a safely red district would send an enormous shock wave through the entire US Congress that would cause a lot of them to grow a spine, because the voters would have made it crystal clear that a lot of "safe" republican seats are now tossups and the members need to adjust their activity accordingly.

The White House’s decision suggests that the administration is deeply concerned about its ability to enact the president’s agenda given the House GOP’s razor-thin majority. So concerned, in fact, that it doesn’t want to “take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat,” President Donald Trump said in a social media post on of Stefanik’s deep-red New York district, which she carried by 24 points in November. (Also worth keeping in mind: Republican operatives are reportedly feeling unusually jittery about the race to fill former representative turned national security adviser Mike Waltz’s ruby-red seat in Florida in next Tuesday’s special election.)

Good article in The Prospect about the coming STABLE and GENIUS acts, which will give an implicit bail out guarantee to crypto money laundering firms - sorry, i mean "stablecoins" - like #Tether and #Circle (#Coinbase). One of the two would also let #ElonMusk print his own dollars.

Senate #Democrats like #KirstenGillibrand, #ElissaSlotkin, and #RubenGallego, whose election campaigns were supported by incredible amounts of crypto money, will probably make sure these bills become laws (because they are corrupt).

Note that stablecoins are currently incredibly profitable businesses. After all a stablecoin is basically a bank where you spend nothing on anti-money laundering & other regulations, refuse to assist customers who have been scammed, and collect 5% interest from the US government while passing absolutely none of it on to your customers.

I know everyone is focused on national politics at the moment, but for those in #NYC who are concerned about #NYCParks budget being chiseled away year after year and the subsequent effects on the quality of life, here is a way to make your voice heard directly to the City Council.

Get out to City Hall on March 17. This is both a #rally and a chance to speak at a budget hearing

Annoy, protest and yell at cowardly Democrats - they back down from GOP bullies and will do the same from the left if they think they'll lose power. Their hubris took a hit in the last election when they still believed they were owed votes instead of listening to the coalition that made them win in 2020, now they're less confident in winning primaries.

The clear split between the NY Governor and her Lieutenant Governor over Adams is one of the most visible examples.

New York state moved to strengthen protections for abortion providers who mail abortion pills out of state, days after a New York doctor was indicted in Louisiana for prescribing and sending the pills to a patient in the state. #abortion #freedom #reproductiverights #NYPol nytimes.com/2025/02/03/nyregio

🔥🔥🔥
the latest resignation letter in Trump’s ongoing massacre of anti-corruption prosecutors who refuse to drop charges against #EricAdams is significantly shorter than #DanielleSassoon’s letter but damn if it doesn’t get straight to the point.

> "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

p.s. #HaganScotten clerked for both #JohnRoberts and #BrettKavanaugh, has multiple bronze stars, and was #1 in his class at #Harvard Law.

p.p.s. the body count in this massacre is currently up to at least 7.

hey #NY it's a good time to call your gov at 1-518-474-8390 today, and let her know that Adams needs to be fired for participating in a quid pro quo arrangement with the Trump administration. Corruption must go.
