Movie idea: Hannah, a big-city lawyer, comes home to help her mother prepare one last Seder for her Bubbie. When she meets her old flame, a kosher butcher whose business is going under, sparks fly! Hallmark, call me!

Heavily underwater in her attempt to become NY governor, Rep. Elise Stefanik is trying to erase her history with the NY Young Republican Club entirely, after they invited both overt racists AND German white supremacists to their annual party.
That's sweet. The internet, however, doesn't forget.

This thread is great—I was not going to give Nuzzi $$ by buying the book but I was, of course, curious. His commentary saves me time and $$, while giving me all the enjoyment of good a hate read.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

As a good govt group we work to keep local govt transparent. When local officials failed to conduct required env review for parkland alienation, we filed a FOIL request. The alienation violates NYS SEQRA. The remedy: an Article 78 asking judge to annul on basis of arbitrary and capricious decision.
