Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

If he gets elected mayor, Mamdani’s support for banning parking near intersections citywide could undo a bureaucratic knot at the Department of Transportation, whose leaders have vigorously pushed back against the movement fighting for the safety measure.

(1,2) I have often stated my belief that the Current Occupant of the White House lies about everything. Last night he posted this. He is either knowingly lying, senile, or both. HE WAS THE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 6TH. Biden was still a private citizen.

MMWR published a report in 1981 about five men with unusual cases of pneumonia in Los Angeles. In retrospect, it was the first publication to detect and inform the wider scientific community of the presence of HIV.
Last night, everyone working on MMWR was fired.
