This is a prime example of how Mamdani’s focus here misses the point entirely.

Very very few people‘s complaint about the bus is that it costs money. They want faster service, and more reliable service.

Believing eliminating revenue will achieve that is bad DSA thinking.

It's interesting how "leaping bounding" doesn't have a comma separating them.

"We have credible evidence that Antifa is assembling squadrons of frog men, chicken people and other far left human-animal hybrids to encircle the Capitol, invade Washington DC and force us all to be transed, gay married or Green New Dealed. We won't stand for it."

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.
