Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

If you believe Canada is doing "way better than everyone" you are delusional.

Canada's corruption and transparency rankings have been dropping for years, and are now the lowest they have been in 30 years.

We now rank 15th

I just counted 28 planned No Kings protests in Kansas on the No Kings website. Is he planning on siccing the National Guard on his constituents?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10h

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Horrifically creepy and emblematic of this rape-coded administration, but also a govt employee staying at the fuckin ritz on a business trip shows you how much the DC world has changed since the DOJ muffin scandal of 2011.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I once fell asleep on a homeless mans lap on a bus in Nashville because I was coming down with double pneumonia and didn't know it yet. Passed out, defenceless.

And nothing bad happened except he watched over me all night.

Good people exist.

Kyiv being hit hard tonight, drones and missiles. An acquaintance’s apartment was hit by a Shahed; thankfully she’s ok. Watching from afar hurts. So does knowing I couldn’t handle one more of these nights if I’d stayed. Please, all, stay safe.

Jets fans giving Jonathan Toews a massive Winnipeg cheer as he gets announced for his regular season debut in his hometown.

They were so loud they drowned out his announcement.

#NHLJets season begins here inside the rink with a video package, narrated by Adam Lowry, reflecting on the year that was -- and what's to come.

As it concludes, two new banners are unveiled in the rafters -- and the injured captain emerges on the bench with a fist pump.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
