I’m sure he isn’t….but when you’re a fan of the team playing them (not me this year) it’s hard not to be infuriated they get their normal guy while we don’t get ours and thus assume bias. Plus Smoltz

FOX keeps telling the “Jake Bauers only didn’t quit baseball because his wife was pregnant and his family wouldn’t have healthcare otherwise” story like it’s a charming story and not a complete failure of this country. Which, of course, is very fitting for baseball.

Just to be clear these two candidates are running for a Nassau county district assemblymen. Neither of them - not even the democrat - has any ability to be a “rubber stamp” for Zohran, who is the mayor of a completely different region.

“Which candidate would be a rubber stamp for Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani”

advertisements; and it is furtherORDERED that the foregoing instructions bind Defendants' officers, agents, employees, contractors, and anyone acting in concert with them. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2).
ORDERED that Defendants shall immediately provide a copy of this order to LMD,
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2)(C), and that LMD, as a contractor that is in active concert and participation with Defendants, is enjoined from continuing to run or place the
challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants will file a status report within 24 hours of the entry of this temporary restraining order and Section 705 stay, confirming compliance with this Order; and it

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.
