In 2021, only 11% of voters aged 18 to 29 bothered to vote for NYC mayor and Gotham got the quickly disgraced Eric Adams.
In 2025, that age group voted at 43%, which was the basis of the Mamdani landslide.

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.
They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.

It's hard grasp the scale of wealth inequality, and the work-free income that wealth delivers.
