The scale of the homelessness crisis among the youngest New Yorkers is staggering. We have to tackle it head on.

In addition to building significantly more affordable housing and bringing down the cost of living, I'll double funding for "Every Child and Family Is Known."

Wow.

"Antenna estimated a total of 3 million cancellations for Disney+ and 4.1 million for Hulu in Sept. Both of those figures far exceeded the trailing three-month avgs for the services, a sign of customers’ ire over Disney’s decision to temporarily suspend the show."

The new talking point from the Speaker of the House is that the No Kings rallies were about calling for the murder of political opponents??

The way they defame the American people is insane.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Prince Andrew will never face the justice his alleged sexual abuse deserves - because he’s a member of the royal family.

Classed men like him are uniquely cruel, because they have the resources and the backing of the state to get away with their criminal behaviour.

Republican Rep. Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And... Charlie Kirk was willing to say it and he got killed for it."

In contrast, over 90% of Biss’ campaign contributions come from big-money donations of over $200.”

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.
