It’s so weird how when you tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself and fill your nation’s streets with gangs of armed, masked, and unaccountable armed thugs and terrorize people at the border…that people will decide to vacation elsewhere. Who could have guessed?

➡️ The United States and much of Europe are too deeply in debt. The A.I. bubble is a rogue agent or two away from deflating. Borrowing costs are rising, and a worldwide recession would dent demand for oil at a moment of rising supply. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/o...

Settlers are driving Palestinians from their homes in a violent land grab. Sanctions can stop it. I'm introducing legislation—alongside Reps. Dean, Beyer, Casar, Jacobs, Escobar—that imposes sanctions against anyone looking to take Palestinian land in the West Bank or Gaza.

“He says the military viewed Catholic clergy who advocated for social justice and human rights as communists. He was detained, beaten and hospitalized, he says.”
"A moral obligation"

Rivas grew up in El Salvador during another tumultuous era. A military coup in 1979 led to a deadly decade-long civil war between the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government and a left-wing guerrilla group backed by Cuba. 

Rivas decided to become a Catholic priest at age 27. He says the military viewed Catholic clergy who advocated for social justice and human rights as communists. He was detained, beaten and hospitalized, he says.

True. I've been in Hamilton County, N.Y. this week and this is an accurate description of gas prices. The lowest I've seen is around $4.73/gallon.
Regular gas prices in Hamilton County, New York, currently average around $4.86 per gallon at local Adirondack outposts.
