Chuck Schumer's sister-in-law was Ticketmaster's lead outside counsel on its LiveNation merger. Schumer – then a member of the antitrust subcommittee – never recused himself. He initially pledged to fight the merger, then went silent. news.littlesis.org/2014/02/27/sch…

@buffalotroll Never mind, I found it. It's worth noting that Callocchia's husband, Frank, represented Brown in in his ballot lawsuits.

@JerryGoldfeder @MayorByronBrown @SellsBryan you keep attempting this framing as if you are defending democracy, when in fact you are just propping up (and profiting from) a two-tiered legal system where people who have the money to buy lawyers like you don't need to play by the rules

just so we’re clear the “Irish goodbye” is merely a means of escaping the Irish goodbye process, a complex ritual that typically lasts hours (and in some cases - very rare but it does happen - gets stuck in an infinite loop)

@markpoloncarz @TheBuffaloNews @ECDOH Isn’t travel to an affected area one of the criteria that qualifies people for tests (along with hospitalization, other conditions)? So people who have symptoms who haven’t traveled, aren’t hospitalized, and don’t have conditions aren’t getting tested?

The wives of two disgraced hedge fund billionaires, Dan Loeb and Steve Cohen, maxed out to Pete Buttigieg last quarter. Loeb has a history of making racist remarks, Cohen's firm pleaded guilty to securities fraud. Both are big education privatization donors.
