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.

Mayor Mamdani holds up bananas with a 30% off sticker on them. Shelves of produce and canned goods, all with 30% off stickers on them. New Yorkers clap at the press conference announcing the 30% discount for municipal grocery stores.

President Trump just gave a speech about voter fraud. Someone has been committing voter fraud — and his name is Ken Paxton. He was just caught voting from the wrong address 6 elections in a row. If the President wants to investigate voter fraud, he should start with Ken Paxton.

Imagine calling Alex Jones “hey brother”. Joe Rogan sucks. Spotify sucks for sponsoring Joe Rogan. Stop using Spotify.

Alex Jones is a big reason Andrew Tate became as famous as he is. Alex had a little skirmish with Joe Rogan, but offered an olive branch one day via text seemingly just so he could get Tate onto Rogan's podcast. I swear to you these are real texts, even the "Chinese monkey pig hybrid" part.

Alex Jones to Joe Rogan, 8:15.30 a.m.: I am getting contacted by folk saying you talked about a text I sent where I talked about drinking and said I was sorry. Alex Jones to Joe Rogan, 8:16.36 a.m.: If true that’s fine but please don’t talk about the privet drinking to much stuff. My X will blow it up. Alex Jones to Joe Rogan, 8:17.32 a.m.: I am a new person and do value our old friendship and would like to regain your respect! Alex Jones to Joe Rogan, 8:18.02 a.m.: I am sorry I went to far before and ask you not to hurt me for it… Rogan replies to the texts through a different phone number on the afternoon of Dec. 13, 2019. Joe Rogan to Alex Jones, 4:21.49 p.m: Hey brother you texted my old number. I didn’t say anything bad about you, in fact I gave you credit for being right about a lot of shit including these Chinese monkey pig hybrids. I might have mentioned you drinking, but it was just as an excuse for you. If you don’t want me to mention it again I won’t. Hope all is well. Alex Jones to Joe Rogan, 4:26.50 p.m.: Thanks

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Wonder why @science.org didn’t put the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the title?? It’s an interesting article about research labs and national security. Just not sure where the tinfoil hat part starts??

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr
