If Obama said stuff like this, conservatives would be having kittens. The Constitution does NOT say the president can do whatever he wants.
Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

ESPA, the Empire State Passengers Association, is hosting "panel discussions focused on building a broad-based consensus that investing in higher-speed passenger rail can be an economic driver upstate..."
As reported, it would boost Amtrak speeds to 90 mph and cost $6 billion.
Jeremy @senatorcooney.bsky.social, Chair of the State Senate Transportation Committee, now speaking to the statewide ESPA rail conference.

"With Pallet shutting down, operators of existing sites will now be left to perform their own ongoing maintenance and source replacement parts independently."
This is the company that sold the shelter that Rochester bought for the homeless camp.

Interestingly, the Pallet company (maker of the shelters) ceased operations last month.
The Rochester City Council voted to spend $1.1M with an activist's non-profit to oversee Peace Village, a collection of sheds which will house 19 people. That works out to $57,894 per homeless person per year. The homeless people will live in "pallet shelters," which don't look like they would pass code and which have light showing through cracks in the joints and doors, and which cost the city $39,473 each. They are flimsier, smaller and dramatically more expensive than commonly available Amish sheds. The city spends a lot of money in the name of the homeless, and a lot of it seems to go into the pockets of middlemen.

The conservative in me says more government is not the answer. But the pragmatist in me says kids shouldn't suffer because mom's boss doesn't offer affordable family coverage. Sick kids w/o insurance just raise premiums for everyone else, anyway.
State Sen. Jeremy Cooney has unveiled legislation that would create universal healthcare for children in New York through the existing Medicaid system, eliminating premiums and co-pays regardless of a family's income level.

More proof prediction markets are B.S.
You mean the prediction markets just tracked the polls, with an added dash of unearned certainty, and then flipped the moment the results came in the other way? Shocking. Actually, not at all. Bettors rely on and amplify the same conventional wisdom as everyone else.

Reports say child evangelist-turned-actor Marjoe Gortner has died. R.I.P.
From @SarahKernochan who made the Oscar winning documentary about him comes word that Marjoe (Gortner) has left the building. Here he is with Louisville’s Own the late great Milton Metz #marjoe #marjoegortner youtu.be/e2b_RoI2VxI?is=ZWV9…

This is peculiar. Does this mean if a woman voluntarily has a drink, she should be off limits for sex? Can a woman decide to have a drink and then give consent, or is her judgment always considered impaired?
Choosing to have a drink is not consent, and it’s never a license for sexual assault.
New York law should reflect that.
I support closing the voluntary intoxication loophole and will work with the Legislature to get it done.
Community note
There is no law in New York saying choosing to drink means consenting to sex.
Current New York law says voluntary intoxication does not invalidate an individual's ability to give consent, as it does not meet the state's standard of "mentally incapacitated".

Remember when they told us lethal injection was preferable because it was more "humane" than the gas chamber?

Two conflicting perspectives in the past week from @GovKathyHochul : 1) NY had the nation's strongest economy in Q2 and 2) NY lost so many jobs this year, the minimum wage was supposed to be frozen for '27.

The NYT stories today about the woman's statements/conduct hint at the legal intricacy of the Cornell case. Where does consent begin and end? Where does regret end and rape begin? If there are charges, the defense lawyers will have maneuvering room. Some may win.

I've never been comfortable that U.S. News got the monopoly on ranking schools, colleges and hospitals. But it seems wrong for NY to unilaterally decide not to play along. nytimes.com/2026/09/30/nyreg…

HILARIOUS: When #Bills quarterback Case Keenum went UNDERCOVER at training camp to see how many autographs he could get from his teammates without them recognizing him.

I am now done with the insults and assholery of several locals who love to comment on my posts. So they are now blocked, and I'll happily add to the list as needed. I don't need BS instead of real engagement.
