Trump says the SNAP money that he’s been ordered by a court to release won’t be released until the government shutdown ends.

Trump: SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly "handed" to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

"Hunt: If he does run the city as a communist, are you going to have any regrets?

Sliwa: Why should I have regrets? I trust people. People are going to make the choice. I'll live with the choice. I'd like them to choose me. But if perchance I lose on November 4th, I will improve, not move. I was born in this city. I was almost killed in this city. I'll die in this city. I'll be buried in this city."

Underground, Overground

My hunt to find locations where you can see Underground trains traveling over Overground trains (or vice versa) continues.

This vantage point near East Putney station has views of tube trains traveling over the railway. I waited 30 mins to get this shot.

I had this piece in the pipeline at Teen Vogue when the news dropped; I'm publishing it to my Substack because I think it's important and I don't want an interview with Adam Hochschild to go to waste.

the right can't get their story together on why they hate Mamdani. Is he a terrifying force of Muslim conservatism, or some weak man whipped by his "aloof" wife?

anyway, if your partner isn't supporting your campaign, that's what's suspicious imo

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

It's like all the rich losers who threatened to leave Massachusetts over our millionaires tax. Maybe a few weirdos actually did leave, and good riddance, but we're bringing in more revenue than expected and companies as big as Hasbro and Lego are moving *to* Massachusetts
