@propublica Would be interested to know what role, if any, George Conway had in any of these appointments, esp now that he's a Dem candidate for NY12

The NYT says ABC's move is the "most aggressive posture taken yet by a television network toward the Trump administration."
Brian Stelter@brianstelter
Breaking via the NYT: "ABC has accused the Federal Communications Commission of violating its free speech rights, potentially setting the stage for a protracted, high-stakes legal battle between the network and the Trump administration." nytimes.com/2026/05/08/bus…

Is George Conway a democrat?
New York Magazine@NYMag
NY-12, which includes both the Upper West and Upper East Sides, is the smallest and most population-dense congressional district in the country, one that candidates can crisscross several times over in an afternoon. It is among the wealthiest and oldest districts in the United States and is also the district with the most college graduates. If you listen to the candidates, the battle for NY-12 is not just about who will be the next member of the city’s congressional delegation but a contest among factions of the island’s Democratic base: the old-money elite, the anti-Trump resisters, the tech-world crusaders, and the old-school party Establishment. While nearly a dozen candidates are vying for the district’s congressional seat, the primary is coming down to just four: Micah Lasher, a state assemblyman from the Upper West Side and a longtime political hand who is Jerry Nadler’s anointed successor; Alex Bores, an assemblyman from the Upper East Side whose calls for AI regulation have led to millions of dollars being spent both for and against him; George Conway, the onetime Republican lawyer who has achieved notoriety as a leader of the #Resistance; and a previously little-known social-media influencer who is trying to rewrite the rules of New York City politics. “It’s New York-sized,” that social-media influencer, Jack Schlossberg, said when asked why this campaign is different. Schlossberg’s presence in the race proves the point.

New: The Trump administration has determined that “for War Powers Resolution purposes, the hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28 have terminated,” a senior official tells @NBCNews.
This comes on the eve of a 60-day deadline for congressional approval of the Iran war.

@gtconway3d George, you and your Federalist Society friends built this court. This is more "George's court" than Trumps.

Trump’s Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act.
Decades of hard-fought voting rights progress – gone.
MAGA is deliberately silencing voters who will stand with Democrats to take back the House and STOP Donald Trump for good. Which means the stakes of this Midterm just went through the roof.
So, it’s time to lock in, and I need you with me. Rush $10 right now to help flip the House, take the fight to this criminal administration, and END Donald Trump’s presidency for GOOD → gc4ny.com/SCOTUS-VRA

DC people — if you’re looking for fantastic bread, I highly recommend Le Diplomate. It’s a little known authentic French bistro, and their cranberry loaf is delicious

@mtracey His campaign reports show he paid for a hotel room at the location she described on the night she said. She would have no way of knowing what his campaign finance reports showed.

This "accuser" claims she was drugged and raped by Swalwell in 2018. Her lawyer, chronic hoax orchestrator Lisa Bloom, said her client underwent "EMDR therapy" in 2021. Which is just junk quackery: the "EMDR Institute" says the technique is used to generate "changes in memories"

There is no truth to the rumor that we are going to war with Albania. I repeat, none.

Trump fucked up his war so bad he’s trying to change the subject back to Epstein.
English
@AnnCoulter @lawindsor Yeah, it's definitely the "legal experts" fault
English
I really wish "legal experts" hadn't screamed bloody murder about every little thing Trump did, so they could speak with authority now that he's actually committing war crimes.
