Hurray!!!!! This is a thing that has bothered me for years. They go by my window every morning on their way to the park, and every morning I reminded of how badly those horses are treated. This says the bill would ban horse-drawn carriages by spring 2028. Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov!

I would really like politicians to answer Do you believe there is a minimum quality of life to which every person is entitled? And if so, what is that? And what is government’s responsibility to provide that? That’s it Debate done

🥲 Russia has built a new drone launch base called “Millerovo” in just one month, designed to launch Geran-5 drones. On September 1, the site was still an empty field. Now, the first section is nearly complete: 8 launch positions 32 positions for preparing drones before launch

"Most nations avoid public executions for the pretty obvious reason that turning a person’s death into propaganda is an assault on human dignity. It creates perverse incentives for jackals like Hegseth to target individuals for spectacular acts of violence in the name of self-aggrandizement."

The Trump regime is paying your tax money to Elon Musk through lucrative government contracts, and then Musk is giving hundreds of million of dollars to the Republicans so they'll keep doing that. It's how oligarchs and Republican politicians scam the rest of us.

Peter Thiel, the billionaire who owns majority stock in JD Vance, is gay. I wonder how he feels about his puppet's grade-school homophobia. Maybe he doesn't care. Maybe all that matters to Thiel is money and power, and it doesn't matter how you get it.

What Vance isn’t saying here is that’s because at this stage of the campaign Talarico’s Internet search history is focused on Paxton, Vance & Trump.

With just 22 days until election day, Kansas election officials are preparing for what could be an unusually high turnout mid-term election, driven in large part by the increasingly competitive US Senate race between Marshall and Hamilton.
