Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

This morning, most of these Park Slopers were cheering on the marathon.

See, as a NYCer, I kinda disagree here. Most of what he did is generalizable to any candidate because he started with dissatisfied voters and listened to what they had to say. From that, he evolved policy and promises. Last, he figured out how to use social media to reach new voters where they were

The new Countdown podcast drops at midnight - and that's it, isn't it?

If Andrew can no longer be "Prince" because of Epstein, Trump can no longer be President because of Epstein

Plus: the Royals may be pushing Andrew to atone by telling all he knows about Epstein. Guess who might come up?

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, ＆ unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas ＆ violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful ＆ fierce solidarity.

Karma barely exists in politics, so I think we should take a moment to recognize that Andrew Cuomo and his oligarch donors being defeated by a Bernie acolyte railing on billionaires as Obama himself and the larger Obamaworld bend the knee — this would truly be a karmic moment for the ages.

Following on from my post yesterday, in case there was any doubt, Trump is threatening war with Nigeria.

Nigeria has a population of nearly 233 million.

Donald J. Trump 2 O @realDonaldTrump
If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. Will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, "guns-a-blazing," to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!
WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT
BETTER MOVE FAST!

I'm convinced Cuomo secretly wants Mamdani to win and is running the world's worst political campaign to ensure it.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."
