… White Americans, what? Nothing better to do
Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too
Who's usin' who? What should we do?
Well, you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too ...

No one here will follow you there. We have taken a stand here against Zuck and the broligarchs. I suggest you do so too. If you don't, you are part of the problem.

Russ Vought wasn't lying when he said he wanted to inflict "trauma" on our public servants.

This is what he is doing...with RFK Jr.'s permission at HHS. Last night, they destroyed our nation's ability to track and report emerging diseases/potential pandemics, among other things.

This cannot stand.

Jonathan Toews told reporters in Winnipeg this morning that he's heard from a slew of former Blackhawks teammates ahead of his Jets debut tonight: Seabrook, Keith, Sharp, Kane, Hossa, Crawford, Shaw, Versteeg, even Marc-André Fleury.

Jets fans giving Jonathan Toews a massive Winnipeg cheer as he gets announced for his regular season debut in his hometown.

They were so loud they drowned out his announcement.

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..

"The common denominator in all the thefts was the work of Alexander Pushkin, the early 19th-century Romantic poet and playwright. Outside Russia, Pushkin is mainly known for two works that inspired operas by Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades."
