🧵 with #NYC visitor recommendations With no thanks to American Airlines after two days of weather-related canceled flights (while it drizzled on and off in New York 🙄), Delta got me home from NYC last night after I snagged the last one-way ticket.

Broadway in Bryant Park free lunchtime concert is amazing! 🎶 This is my first time back in NYC since 2017, and Manhattan looks, feels, and sounds as vibrant as ever in my 55 years of visiting. ❤️ And what a difference arriving at the new Terminal B at LaGuardia airport. 🏆

How can anyone support this jerk?

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.
