More example of giving the masses bread and circuses to distract. However, bread is scarce so it’s not working.

Not that much a fan of CTA. Why? Back when NCLB was implemented, teachers vehemently protested. They informed parents they have a right to refuse their children being tested. CTA and the politicians shut them up. The right is still there, teaches just aren’t allowed to say anything.

You’re wrong. There is a reason to vote republican: if you’re racist, if you’re in the MAGA cult, you’re misogynistic, you are a closet homosexual, you have low self esteem, and last of all, have no brain. Lucky for me, I’m none of those: I’m voting Democrat.

It was. When the weekends came around, there was lots of energy. Why? We weren’t in constant communication. Once we left the house, we were out of contact until we returned home. No news, no tweets, no texts, just you and your friends.

The GOP should not be in control of Congress, if the voting is legitimate, so the threat is moot. Besides, if things go as well as it seems, Trump will be a lame duck. I have very little, none, respect for State.

I read the Mayor’s statement. Nothing in it blamed Israel for the Oct 7, attack. It did blame them for the atrocities committed by Israel afterwards, the genocide. Willfully ignoring that is why I would not support Goldman if I was there and centrists. Genocide is genocide, period.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

I’m curious, shouldn’t something like this be investigated by Congress or does the GOP not want to embarrass Trump? Shouldn’t they be doing their jobs? Oddly specific miscount from 303 to 298.

This flack is working overtime defending Trump. Let’s get one thing straight that she ignores: Iran was not close to getting a nuclear weapon, so stop spreading that lie.

Rubio, to put it plainly, is a failure as a diplomat and a leader. He’s a puppet and won’t do anything that upsets or can potentially upset his puppet masters. His calls to return to “traditional values and roots” fall flat especially when he works for a guy who flaunts every democratic values.
