What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC. My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

“You can tell by the love and support he’s getting from the community that he was amazing.” KitKat, known as the "Mayor of 16th Street," was killed by a Waymo cab last week, sparking calls for more regulation of driverless cars.

"The White House stopped using live ASL interpreters at briefings and other public events when President Trump began his second term in January." Not surprisingly, a federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's "fvck those deaf people" attitude isn't acceptable.

Per Customs & Border Protection, Department of Justice, and DEA data, 80-90% of foreign fentanyl that has been brought into the US each year since 2019 has been brought by American citizens coming through ports of entry. Only 0.02% of people arrested for entering illegally even possess any fentanyl

Can people stop pretending 2024 delivered Trump and the GOP a cultural mandate now? People voted out the incumbent party because of inflation. That was it. Then Trump proceeded to abuse his power and raise prices while enriching himself and his friends. Americans are pissed.

We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)
a person in a white shirt and blue striped boxers holds a black and tan dachshund under the armpit with one arm and under the chin with the other. the dog has a massive mouthful of cooked spaghetti chomped in his mouth, with noodles sticking out in all directions, and a single long strand dangling down the length of his skinny body. we know the position isn’t ideal, but the dog was recently fished out of the garbage where he found this treasure, so it’s a temporary solution. the dog’s eyes are wide: likely a combination of joy at the feast, surprise as the swift removal, and shock at having been caught.

Let’s call it what it is: murder
A tweet from Jessica Tarlov says: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers... The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.” Below is a screenshot from Fox News’ The Five showing Tarlov speaking on-air, with a chyron reading “TRUMP VS NARCOS – PRESIDENT RAMPS UP STRIKES AGAINST TRAFFICKERS.”

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
