Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

The Yankees front office hired a manager with zero managing or coaching experience to manage this team eight years ago and we've watched this team pretty much play and lose the exact same way every season since then. Sloppy, no fundies, piss poor bullpen usage and pinch hitting. It's uncanny.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

👀 Love to see this: "Corruption isn’t just an abstract political issue for Americans, it’s a pocketbook one. Huge majorities across party lines say corruption in government is raising their costs personally (81%), with nearly half feeling this way strongly (48%)." @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social
"5) Americans are Connecting Government Corruption to Personal Costs 



Corruption isn’t just an abstract political issue for Americans, it’s a pocketbook one. Huge majorities across party lines say corruption in government is raising their costs personally (81%), with nearly half feeling this way strongly (48%). They’re blaming elected officials who allow waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars (82% raises costs), the protecting of monopolies and large corporations that price gouge consumers (82% raises cost), and allowing lobbyists and special interests to have more influence than ordinary people (77%). 



Americans are also opposed to and resentful of Trump’s expensive White House renovations, reflecting pool makeover, and self-aggrandizing projects.



Two-in-three (66%) oppose Trump tearing down the East Wing of the White House and requesting $1 billion in taxpayer dollars for a new White House ballroom.



Even among Republicans, the ballroom is divisive, with 42% supportive of Trump’s actions and 42% opposed – though non-MAGA Republicans oppose it by 29 points (28% support – 57% oppose).



Nearly six-in-ten (58%) report concerns awarding a no-competition contract to a favored company to repaint the Reflecting Pool in Washington.



Seven-in-10 say Trump’s face being included on special edition passports and the new $250 bill shows he’s focused on the wrong things."

The Postcards memorial honors the 274 Staten Island residents who were killed in the horrific terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

Their names and birthdays are preserved here forever. Their profiles are carved into granite, each one facing toward Ground Zero.

It is a solemn reminder that behind every name was a whole life. A person with family who loved them and a future they should have had.

25 years later, we remember not only the unimaginable pain our city endured, but every person who never came home and every family that has carried that loss ever since.

I was honored to stand with those families and Staten Island leaders today to remember what this community lost. We will Never Forget.
