ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived at either of the two Florida properties he claimed as principal residences in the 1990s.

As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief.

Many NYC civil servants woke up thankful that Adams 2.0 lost last night and hopeful for an end to the cronyism, corruption, and ego driven leadership of the last few years. Those of us that have seen it from the insight are hoping that Mamdani cleans house.

Mayor Adams’ connection to this NYPD unit has been so close, former officials said, that he was given private access to a live feed of the unit’s body-worn cameras.
He recently chose one of the team’s leaders to be deputy mayor of public safety.

And remember, if you end up on the street, long-term or short, you will be labeled an addict and/or criminal, accused of being from out of state to mooch off benefits, and even if you're working it will be extremely hard to get rehoused.

Spoke with an attorney who was harassed by law enforcement after providing pro bono help to immigrants. Wouldn't ID themselves or the agency.
My guess is he isn't the only one. If you've experienced similar harassment or know someone who has, please feel free to reach out.
