New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has consistently and petulantly undermined New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio since the mayor took office, but the feud only recently went on the record. Following an Albany legislative session in which Cuomo blatantly denied de Blasio various legislative victories — and cynically attempted to attack the more liberal mayor from “the left” — Cuomo rubbed salt in the legislative wound by delivering a brutally critical appraisal of Mayor de Blasio’s legislative acumen and political savvy. This came in the guise of a Daily News interview with “a top Cuomo administration aide.” (At least, that is what everyone believes, and what the governor has not denied.)

"Net neutrality" will be the law of the land following the Federal Communications Commission's vote to reclassify broadband Internet services as public utilities. Please take some time this week to thank the outspoken citizens who made this possible. These heroes of the open Internet are regular folk, just like you and me, with names like Microsoft, eBay, Facebook, Google and Amazon. Congrats to a major industry on its lobbying victory!

Republican presidential hopefuls want Elizabeth Warren to speak up (to hurt Hillary) but they do not want to hear from the Pope (because he's too liberal). This has been your Counterintuitive Republican Political Ally Perception update for January 28, 2015.

It is never a bad time to check in on how Wall Street is quietly working to undermine any attempt to slightly dampen the possibility that Wall Street could devastate the American economy, again.

Sadly, we knew this would happen. After the terror strikes in Paris, another well-known radical is agitating for violence. "Are we ready to fight?" he asks. "Are we ready to do what is necessary?" This opportunist is clear in what he seeks now: "war."

Speaking of Congress's inability to pass a law that would actually decrease economic inequality: just how rich are members of Congress, who formulate the laws in America's oligarchy? We're glad you asked.

Chris Van Hollen, a Democratic Congressman from Maryland, has proposed a bill that is exactly the sort of socialism that America needs in our current age of inequality. It has already been declared doomed!
