Sliwa would not say who offered the alleged 7 bribes, including one at $10 million, trying to get him to drop out. But this is what he did say, which includes an allegation that Cuomo was behind it. (The campaign denies this.)

As @seantipton.bsky.social of @asrmorg.bsky.social told me, there are several ways Trump could further expand IVF access, including by requiring coverage for federal workers & members of the military
“As the CEO of a big employer, [POTUS] should make sure all his employees have access to care."

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo believes his "spirit animal" is a tiger, and that an ex-Navy SEAL-turned-guru unleashed it by walking on the backs of his thighs.
This is medicine's Florida man.

I visited Athens this week—an amazing, dynamic, affordable city that I would 💯% recommend you visit if you get the chance. (Off-season flights can also be pretty affordable!)
Also: journalists, bring your press passes, you’ll get into a ton of museums and ruins for free! 😍

NEW: The website charliesmurderers.com, which was where people were being doxed for insufficiently mourning Charlie Kirk and/or celebrating his killing, is no longer active.
An X account that appeared to be associated w/ the site said it would feature a searchable database of 30K names.

Experts see this as mostly more grifting from J6ers.
But that doesn't mean it's not still dangerous.
“They’re now being told that the same people who tried to steal this country away from you just killed Charlie Kirk,” @jonlewis27.bsky.social told me, "& someone has to do something about that.”

This rhetoric is not only baseless, it is dangerous.
We do not know the shooter's ID or motivation(s), yet right-wing actors—including the President—are conspiratorially alleging that the left, at large, is responsible for this killing.

It's important to note that the shooter's ID and motivation(s) remain unknown. As our colleague @markfollman.bsky.social wrote when Trump allies did the same thing after the attempted assassinations of the president, experts warn that allegations like these can fuel more political violence.
