After Saquon Barkley ran for 176 yards today while Daniel Jones threw for just 99, who is sillier: Giant fans who burned Saquon’s jersey because he left after the team offered him less money for three years than it is paying Jones per year, or management for woeful judgment?

Midway through the debate, I thought Trump would say he’d proven that his disloyal crew members had eaten the strawberries. By the end, Kamala reduced him to a puddle, like Fudgie the Whale left outside the refrigerator overnight.

Biden's odyssey evokes the closing verse of Robert Frost's "Reluctance": Ah, when to the heart of man/Was it ever less than a treason/To go with the drift of things/To yield with a grace to reason/And bow and accept the end/Of a love or a season?

Re Giuliani’s squawking after he dared Arizona’s state attorney general to track him down and had his birthday party interrupted, call it “The Outlaw Rudy Wails”.

Astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar used to travel 80 kilometers every week from the Yerkes Observatory to the University of Chicago, where he taught a course attended by only two students. When asked why he spent his time this way, the professor replied

From the Protesters Say the Darndest Things file: Maryam Iqbal seemed shocked, Shocked! that “I received notice from Barnard administration that I had been suspended for my involvement in the illicit solidarity encampment.” An Ivy League student can’t conjugate illicit?

So today @NYCCouncil hearing on public safety turned into a zoo with ad hominem attacks against the piñata, our police force! Reasonable questions about agency performance is job of council but disrespect & ignorant diatribes should be off limits. I fault committee chairs

Said it before and will say it again: the US Army should enter Gaza and for one purpose only: to set up an orderly food supply line. I’ve seen the US military do it before (on the Turkey-Iraq border). It kept people from starving. If Israel objects, tough.

Anyone should be able to champion the Palestinian cause. If you champion or rationalize what Hamas did 10-7 as military resistance or moral act, go fuck yourself. And if you target or harass Jews - or Muslims -- because of an overseas dispute, you're swine.

During a DSA rally, a participant holds up a sign calling Hamas a “resistance movement” justified under international law. First, Hamas is not a resistance movement. It is a terrorist organization. Second, there is no “resistance” exception to the rule against murdering

Liz Cheney slams Kevin McCarthy: "What we’ve seen is a result of the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6. Looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we’ve seen from Donald

this is one of the better pieces i've read on how a certain slice of the left is so enamored with a claptrap of phrases like "settler colonialism" and "resistance" that they end up cheerily endorsing what amounts to genocide.

If your resistance movement abducts children or rapes women to leverage change what does liberation look like to you? Do you imagine collective liberation? Something else? Are rape and kidnapping the “means” you write about on your signs?

We may yet get worse than McCarthy as House speaker (like Jim Jordan). But that’s no reason to mourn McCarthy’s downfall or to criticize Democrats for not bailing him out. He was untrustworthy for Democrats and radical Republicans alike, and brought his demise on himself.

@IngrahamAngle Why are obedient Republicans lying that Trump is “perfectly capable” of being any kind of president?

To paraphrase Edward G. Robinson in “Little Caesar,” Mother of Mercy, is RICO the end of Rudy?

Enforcing noise complaints with a criminal citation does not lead to mass incarceration. If anything, it helps prevent it because you get fewer shootings. But it's not something that should be overthought. Police should be permitted to break up loud parties. (fin)

@baldwin_daniel_ @OANN Patriots don’t support insurrections against the government of the United States.

The Mets break out with two long home runs at Citifield against an old nemesis. Crank up The Beach Boys and sing: Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Bomb Teheran…

@powellnyt @samrob12 Ravitch and Rohatyn were business people with a moral core, and devotion to the City, at a time NY was literally being abandoned by the federal government.
