It’s an NFL Sunday, which means it’s the perfect time to confirm your voter registration status. Or to register to vote. Or to request your mail in ballot. Then, vote early. But, vote. Like your life depends on it. Because in so many ways, it does.

From Josh Helfgott: LAPD just released horrifying video showing officers beating a handcuffed 58-year-old man in his jail cell before he died. José Carlos Hoyos-Munoz had been in LAPD custody for two days. His family says he was in severe mental distress.

Seems the Orange 🤡's renaming Lake Ontario is just as popular as his renaming The Gulf of Mexico, which is... NOT AT ALL. Instead of working on lowering prices, his focus on B.S. like the Ballroom, Helipad & putting his name on the Kennedy Center is the perfect Midterm strategy...for the DEMS!

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Tetanus is making a comeback. There’s an easy way to fight back.
It's easy to dismiss, but more Americans died from tetanus last year than any year in nearly two decades.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
