This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government.

In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs.

By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

Skye Valadez is allegedly the name of a trans woman 4chan mistakenly identified as the shooter yesterday. You could bet on her being arrested on websites like polymarket and Kalshi. Unspeakably evil and rotten shit happening in this country

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.”

“Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

EXCLUSIVE: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing on World Cup tickets.

His petition “Game Over Greed” also demands that FIFA reinstates a cap on ticket resales and sets aside 15 percent of tickets for local residents at a discount.

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.

Striking: New Quinnipiac poll finds 56% of voters nationally oppose Trump's sending of National Guard into DC. Only 41% support it.

Independents oppose it by 61-34.

Trump's overall approval on crime is cratering at 42-54.

That sound you hear is a lot of dimwitted pundit narratives imploding.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
“For more than thirty years, when New Yorkers needed a champion, we have turned to Jerry Nadler—and he has delivered for us time and again. Jerry stood alongside gay and trans Americans when it was politically unpopular, voted with courage—not calculus—against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, stood steadfast alongside the first responders and families sickened after 9/11, and led efforts to hold a lawless Trump administration accountable. Few leaders possess his record of principled progressivism, and fewer can claim to have made such an enduring impact on the fabric of our city. Congress will be worse off without his leadership, but our democracy will be better for the selflessness that has defined a legendary career.”

"The federal government plans to hire private companies to use artificial intelligence to determine whether patients would be covered for some procedures, like certain spine surgeries or steroid injections."

More financial incentive to deny claims.

Trump taking Intel's CHIPS grant money, allocated for manufacturing and research, and converting it to an equity stake, no strings attached, is the opposite of "socialism" or whatever centrist pundits are vomiting out.

It's a $9 billion giveaway to prop up their failing stock.

Happy to see writers digging into the undercounted Gaza death toll, and noting how it has aided and abetted genocide denial in the Western press.

The Media Loves “The Experts,” Until it’s Time to Count Gaza’s Dead
Public debate around Gaza fixates on a death toll that is probably half the size of the real number.
