Democrats tried to redistrict her out in 2022 by adding Park Slope (Living Single!) to her district, but a court blocked the map. Hochul might try to find a way around that though.

It was Nicole Malliotakis, the only Republican elected to Congress from NYC. Same old tired talking points, so not much difference though.

Some Republican Congresswoman from New York actually said that Democrats learned a "hard lesson" tonight and another hack commentator said "well those are blue states and Democrats were always supposed to win".

Republicans got more embarrassed tonight in elections that Nicole Dupree Richardson at her anniversary party. And the NYC results aren't even in.

Joey is putting Vanessa in charge of escorts is just like a pimp putting his main hoe in charge of slapping around the streetwalkers to make sure they hand over all the cash. That aside, Vanessa knows that he killed Doug but just doesn't want to see it. Hayley has zero cares to give and her comments about Dani giving up everything for Bill were spot on.

Derek is doing his best to trap Ashley. Involving Naomi and Jacob was such an uncomfortable thing to do. Naomi and Jacob are talking in circles at the point. One of them has to make the decision to end the marriage because it is broken. Laura's presence along with Leslie and Eva having full circle moments tells me that Leslie's about to face some consequences. Vernon is most likely not cheating, but he shouldn't be going to a woman's hotel room, especially not Sharon's.

I had an aunt who let my cousin who was 13-14 years old bring her boyfriend (who was an adult lying about his age) into the apartment when she wasn't there just to avoid arguments. Long story short my cousin ended up with four children by her early 20s and later a drug problem. I don't see anything wrong with the storyline because I've seen what happens to teenagers when parents take too much of a "do what you want" attitude.

I wouldn't say this is why soaps are in decline, they have been in decline because of repetitive, plot driven writing. But overall the show has been setting up Samantha having some sort of conflict with her parents and this is just the culmination of it. I don't think it's some condemnation of sex, it's just a story to drive conflict.

Sometimes people who decided to have sex at a young age are against their teenagers doing it because it ended up being a poor choice for them. It's not treating sex as a sin or being too conservative to not allow your child to do whatever they choose to in your home. After all, it is the parents who have to deal with many of the consequences.

JD definitely needs a White wife for his presidential profile, but he's gotten started much sooner than he would have prefered. He's definitely slept with Erika Kirk because that hug and the breathless way she was speaking about him say that. That said, some of these marriages in politics are so arranged that Usha Vance may not even care.

Considering what type of person Nathan is it's clear that Samantha is making a poor choice. She's expecting to have an experience like Chelsea and Kat, but she's being set up to be used and talked about around school. Being talked about as a conquest is not a respectable way to be treated, especially if a person has led you to believe that they respect you. I cannot speak for others, but at 16 I know that I shouldn't have been having sex. Plus, Samantha showed her immaturity by throwing her aunt under the bus and insinuating that she told her to this.

Maybe I'm wishful thinking, but that looks like it could be Anna Maria Horsford in the scene where someone opens the door for Vernon.

Tyler Perry built his audience off of his plays and movies that drew a church audience who liked the message of overcoming trials. His TV shows are all about over the top drama and shock value. He is basically JER without the supernatural and magic elements. I do give him credit for getting the ball rolling on Black drama series becoming common place though.

Now WTF did Nick keep the tube in his hand? Rofl I didn't know Nick ever came off this clueless. Joshua Morrow has the perfect look to play a character that would be easy to set up like that. Of course Austin Peck still holds the crown for the "Huh, what?" look and style.

He must really need a check if he's willing to portray another rapist. That's one type of character that it would be ugly to be type cast as and there's no way the producers didn't take Todd Manning into account when asking Howarth to take this on.

Ted being Leslie's friend would not work at all. She ruined his life and is not even sorry for having done so. Not to mentioned he just mentioned the attempted murder which makes friendship even less sensible. Samantha was completely wrong for blaming her behavior on Kat. She listened to a conversation that did not involve her and was not told to emulate adult behavior.

Nicole just wanted to sleep with Carlton and had to rein herself in from using him. Just like she was going to sleep with Ted, but got shut down by the fire alarm. I've said it before, but Joey's shelf life is limited and there needs to be some movement towards his downfall or at least him vanishing and leave Vanessa holding the bag.

It seems like Elon favors Luke so it's not inconceivable that he is also a crook.

Kat is most certainly too obsessed with ever now. Parking herself at Uptown to warn Izaiah after she already warned him was absurd. It's not like he's some bumpkin off the bus from Chadwell, Oklahoma that Eva is going to send spiraling into debauchery. She wants revenge on Eva, but I have to wonder if seeing Izaiah doesn't have her thinking about trying to trade in Tomas for a more exciting prospect.

Elon judging Izaiah after he has taken money from a criminal is rich. Ted making a scene was totally entertaining. Nicole would not be entertaining Carlton if not to get a reaction from Ted so she got the attention she ordered. And on a side note, Shanice really pushed the boundaries of not minding her own business. Samantha knows better, but at least she did this after listening to Kat and Chelsea as opposed to after talking to June so June doesn't get blamed for this.

That's one way to look at it, but Kat lied about parts of the story to make Ted look like a hapless victim and then mentioned Tomas for no good reason. That said, Izaiah can take care of himself and did not need a warning from Kat. She was just keeping the drama going.

There are 247 people on the planet with the name "Bacall" with 191 being in the United States. Lauren Bacall used her mother's Romanian surname of "Bacal" but added an extra L, so it's likely most people actually with that name co-opted it from Lauren and it has no real historical distribution for the most part. It gives fan fiction for the writers to use that name.

And she left out the part about Ted paying Leslie off, having Bill threaten her, etc. That trapped line was so silly. Nobody trapped Ted into sleeping with someone other than his wife.

So Nicole is going to act like she wasn't using Carlton to prove a point? Please. Carlton would not be a factor if not for being Ted's business partner. June spilling that shake was such a classic soap move. That boy is sleazy and June has been in the streets enough to know sleaze right off the bat. Hayley is going to find a way to blame Leslie for poisoning Bill should she need an out. Kat has Tomas, yet she still found a reason to interfere with Eva talking to someone else. Once again, she isn't really that into Tomas, but moreso enjoys the feuding.

Any more relationship trouble for couples would be overboard at this point. I think that is why Martin and Smitty's course was changed.
