No. This was enough. Y'all want to make yourselves feel better about helping put us here. Purity politics in search of "perfect' candidates means Fascist regime wins. And y'all were OK with it.

Who said anything about it being attributable to wealth? Where did I say that, or even INTIMATE?

tfk3rd @afroburrito.bsky.social · 1d

That makes no sense.

Just say you’re easily Bluesky ASS hurt.

And you ARE lucky…be grateful in between being an asshole.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

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..

We can't rely on the CDC for evidence-based information about vaccines anymore. It's sad and frustrating, but that's where we are. So here are a ton of other resources where you can go instead. healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/10...

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.
