27,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP benefits due to cruel cuts from the federal government. If you’re one of them, NYC is here to help. As of October 1st, you can re-enroll for SNAP benefits. But there are new rules. Call 718-SNAP-NOW or visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA for help re-enrolling.

If we are going to be deporting immigrants who came to America illegally, Elon Musk should go to the top of that list. Preferably with a nice long stay in, say, El Salvador's holding prison for deportees. Better yet, let's trade him for all of them.

One csn most definitely be a strong supporter of Jews and Israel while being strongly anti-Netanyahu. Indeed, many Jews themselves are precisely that. The war criminal Netanyahu fights desperately to convince people he, Jews, and Israel are one and the same. Nothing could be a bigger lie.
