At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Said this lots of times in lots of venues, but: Trump created an enormous economy — both for money and attention — with his claims of fraud in 2020. Lots of people (D'Souza, Lindell) cashed in. Countless others tried to. But six years later, no evidence of fraud has emerged. None. The end.
