Ridiculous opinion piece by a right-wing commentator. She criticizes "subsidizing discounts they may never even use," but an unused discount leaves the subsidy untouched. She claims that bodegas having "to compete against city-subsidized prices ... could drive their prices higher," which is absurd.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Mamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...

Count me in. It borders on or in many cases is fraud. Let's treat medicine like one healthcare possible solution, not profit oriented marketing manipulation. #resist #mepolitics
Public Citizen@publiccitizen.bsky.social · 2w agoWe filed a petition urging the FDA to ban direct-to-consumer prescription drug ads. Almost no other country does this bullshit. These ads are designed to mislead patients with emotional manipulation & visual distractions. BAN prescription drug ads, NOW!

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · 3w agoLorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon swears in new civil rights division lawyers at the DOJ. Because nothing says “we care about civil rights” quite like only hiring white people.
It's kind of amazing that we have a president who literally doesn't know anything about any subject. Not an exaggeration that he is completely ignorant of how anything in this world works.

` Lancaster County Amish unveil the Tesla Barntruck. The vehicle features revolutionary self-driving mode where the horse already knows where it's going. Unlike the real Cybertruck, this one can be repaired with a hammer, two cousins, and whatever lumber is left over from building a shed.
I just watched the beginning of the premiere of "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness," executive produced and introduced by Barack Obama and starring Larry David in a variety of scenes from US history. I've never been a fan but gave it a shot. I was right. I can't stand Larry David. He sucks.
Susan Collins really doesn’t like the “Collins Rule”…
Trump is so jealous of Mamdani you can smell it from space. He refused to sign his own bipartisan Housing bill because he knows GOP is gonna get the trouncing of a lifetime in the midterms. He can’t win w/o cheating. You wanna stop Trump, talk about Mamdani & ignore the old man.
It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.
