Voted, went to bug fest and now at the dog park, so a pretty great Saturday so far!

My ballot fwiw was Moreno, Willard, Morrell, King, Woodfork (under duress cause the choices were bad), anybody but Williams, yes on the amendment and Duncan. Lombard is way too sketchy and basically a Republican

It is super sketchy that Clerk of Court Lombard gave folks from his office working polling places lanyards with his name on them and badges with his name and face.

The Mayor isn't the only city-wide office we vote for in New Orleans. We also vote for two City Council at-large seats. Yet those races have gotten considerably less attention this year. So, we decided to talk to candidates – and dig deeper into their platforms for @veritenews.org. Check 'em out!

Honestly nothing brings out the secret anti-semites quite like a mention of circumcision

Make no mistake, linking autism to circumcision is straight up open anti-semitism cause Nazi’s waterlogged brains see them both as things to be exterminated

I got months of death threats from anti-circumcision people a few years ago for making fun of them on Al Gore’s internet and tbh after seeing them in the wild I’d gladly fight all of them as a group simultaneously. That’s how goofy headed they are

It was sadly predictable that the anti-vaxxers and creepy anti-circumcision maniacs would form like the dumbest Voltron in the history of Voltrons

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..."

Noted pop culture enthusiast House Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t like Bad Bunny

House Speaker Mike Johnson may not care much about releasing the Epstein files or protecting poor Louisianans from losing their already meager health care coverage, but there is one thing

ha, i never have, though TBH i've only had a resume once since 1997 and that was when I got hired at Gambit and only because the onboarding system needed one. Gonna now tho!

Fun fact, I used to be annoyed by it, mostly because Little John was my fav in Disney Robinhood and I wanted that nickname.

Chase was on the New Beginnings Schools Foundation board during the 2019 Kennedy High graduation scandal — and when the charter board voted "accidentally" to change the jurisdiction of its charter schools.

There could be at least one minor silver lining to the GOP's government shutdown: It may give New Orleanians a temporary reprieve from the Trump regime's planned military occupation, at least if they plan on paying the troops.
