Russia’s election data show 2 classic fingerprints of manipulation: as turnout rises, United Russia’s vote rises with it, creating the blue “comet tail”; repeated round-number results form dotted lines. Both are associated with ballot stuffing. Putin doesn’t even pretend any more.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Texas beat screwworm once because leaders acted before it was too late. We shouldn't ignore the lessons that already saved our ranchers decades ago. Let's finish the job again.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

1976 looked like a great party in DC (And there were huge parades everywhere on July 4, from big cities to small towns. What an easy goal this administration didn't even try to kick.)

Mayor Mamdani took the mayor's Inaugural Swim in east Harlem this morning to open the city's pool season. (Look out for sea hags, Zohran!) Naturally, he wore his swimsuit.
