I have always had an extreme aversion to living in big cities. Heck, I don't even particularly enjoy visiting them. But what I would give to be part of the large, thriving, passionate activist communities that they have...

#WATB in action: “Nobody tells me to do anything. I made a decision on my own that I thought best represented the interest of the voters.” So George Anthony Devolder Santos is going to give the voters in his district what they want g̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶, despite 3/4 of them wanting him to resign?

“I think you should talk to leadership if you want details pertaining to committees.” Maybe McCarthy read him the riot act?

Aaron Blake: The plot thickens on George Santos’s biggest problem

"I’m not sure what Santos’s motivation was for the loan-related amendments [to his campaign finance filings], but he hasn’t cleared up potential violations of federal law" said Paul S. Ryan, a campaign finance expert at the Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation. “Instead, he’s created new violations."

"Beyond that, saying this was neither his money nor a personal loan or line of credit would almost certainly mean the contribution is illegal, said Dan Weiner, a campaign finance expert and former Federal Election Commission lawyer now at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University. Santos can’t even use funds from his own personal business unless it’s money he was first paid for his work."

"'So he would be going from a sort of dubious conduct to admitting he flatly broke the law,' Weiner said."

Does Kathy #Hochul Really Want to Go Down With Hector LaSalle’s Sinking Ship?

“I do not know why Hochul has decided to tie herself to the mast of Hector #LaSalle; then again, I don’t know about the political acumen of a white governor who goes to a church in Brooklyn and turns Martin Luther King Jr.’s death into a parable about her judicial nominee.”

Article by Elie Mystal in The Nation analyzes Governor Hochul's puzzling actions in nominating a right-wing judge and the possibility of her suing the NY Senate because the judiciary committee did not approve his nomination.

Governor Kathy Hochul, a right-wing politician registered as a democrat, sees her also-right wing anti-abortion, anti-union candidate Judge Hector LaSalle soundly rejected by the NY state senate judiciary committee.

Note: I like dinos, but DINOs kinda suck.

“NY appeals courts don’t have time to write good decisions so you shouldn’t assume anything about our beliefs based on them” is, uh, quite an argument from these former appellate judges. https://www.scribd.com/document/619439556/Letter-Support-of-Hon-Hector-LaSalle

The more people #Hochul trots out in support of #LaSalle, the more I’m convinced he’s a bad pick for head of the state’s highest court.

This is excellent news. Hochul needs to get it together and nominate a Chief Justice who will make the Court reflective of the blue tint of this fine state.
