Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.
Your groceries need a hazmat team, but sure, let’s hold another hearing about masks.
The left: we want the Epstein files The right: we want the Epstein files The center: we want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is Fauci’s diary, some lies about the reflecting pool, and a failed war in Iran
James Talarico tells Rachel Maddow that if Democrats win the Senate seat he is running for, "I think we can build the political will to restore the Voting Rights Act." Watch:
Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.

Perimeters, not parameters. An excursion, not an incursion. Six genders, not cisgender. Insane asylums, not asylum. Transgender mice, not transgenic mice. The IQ of a potato.
Control of the House came down to 7,000 votes in five districts during the last midterms. We can’t take anything for granted this year, especially as the regime threatens mail-in voting, targets registration programs, and even tries to ban states from encouraging people to vote.
Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

This is a serious issue, even though Trump is attempting to turn it into a political game by blaming Minnesota. Cyberattacks targeting municipal water and wastewater systems have now been reported in at least seven states this week.
“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*
I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like. What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
I Questioned Anthony Fauci during COVID. What Rand Paul Did To Him This Week Was A Disgrace.
In 2020, I wanted answers. This week, Senate Republicans tried to destroy him for a viral clip.

Congressman Collins needs to come out this afternoon and answer: Does he apologize for his office's documented links to some of the nation's most notorious white supremacists?

At the start of the Civil War, there were 4 million people who were enslaved in the US. Families were separated so some members could be sold to plantations in other parts of the country, including children.
Sonya Massey’s family and loved ones remain in my thoughts today. Her killing was a profound loss that can never be reversed — Sonya was innocent, unarmed, and calling for help. A painful reminder that too many Black Americans have faced this violence, and they deserve justice.
Former deputy convicted of murdering Sonya Massey at her Springfield-area home denied early release
Sean Grayson, the former Illinois sheriff's deputy who was convicted for shooting Sonya Massey, was denied early release by a prisoner review board on Friday.

WTF: Megyn Kelly just said that Dr. Anthony Fauci is WORSE than Jeffrey Epstein, claiming: “Fauci hurt a lot more people than Epstein did. A lot more, amazingly.” Her guest, Victor Davis Hanson, immediately agreed, repeatedly declaring: “Millions, millions, millions, millions.” This is MAGA.
Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.
Kamala Harris: The deal would basically be what Barack Obama got. That he pulled us out of. I think that it's important to not be a conspiracists, but you can listen to what people are saying. And wonder. Is it just a full on distraction from the things he can't handle or has not handled?
FACT: Donald Trump is terrible at everything and Dr. Fauci was the only thing keeping him from killing more of you MAGA dumbfucks.
At least this time when the lazy bastards used AI to do their job they didn’t blow up a girls elementary school.
@mayor.nyc.gov started cracking down on delivery apps’ shady tipping practices in January. That policy has now delivered about $104 MILLION in additional tips to deliveristas. These workers have been fighting Big Tech’s greed for years. Kudos to them and Mayor Mamdani for putting workers first.
