There is an international crime syndicate running the US government and nobody is batting an eye and the opposition party doesnโ€™t think itโ€™s a โ€œpriority.โ€

I love how Megyn Kelly is saying sheโ€™s an independent now that her viewers are jumping ship. She was so far gone on the Trump train that she was making excuses for pedophilia while wearing garbage bag costumes. We donโ€™t forget.

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

The mayorโ€™s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."

It's nuts that Republicans in Congress DRAGGED Secretary of Defense LLoyd Austin through hearings for going to the doctor one day, but Mitch McConnell is out for four months and that's totes fine.

Although Bernie Sanders, AOC and Zohran Mamdani use the democratic-socialist label, most policies they advocate would fit comfortably within European social democracy. American political terminology makes their economic programs sound further left than many of their policy proposals actually are.

As does Utah. They send out ballots to every registered voter. You can vote in person and or drop off my ballot in person as I do. I do not trust the PO with my ballot. Utah in an effort to appease Fuckface has a new law saying if you want a mail ballot you have to ask for it online in 2029.

I did, ever since I was eight and realised two things: 1. I'm queer, bare minimum. 2. I'm in a country where one party wants to make it legal to murder me for it and the other party's answer is essentially, โ€œcool, cool, cool, cool, cool, don't get its blood on my loafers.โ€
