My Mainer parents - both 77 - like Mills but think she is too old. Not sure how representative they are, but wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people feel this way.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

The messages might offer some clues as to why liberals are increasingly likely to shun right-wing friends and family. Hanging around with people who love Hitler and make jokes about slavery - it's just not my idea of a good time!

This use of public property to broadcast political propaganda is an unacceptable violation of the Hatch Act. I urge Albany International Airport to follow the lead of other airports across our state and our nation in taking down this illegal message immediately.

Was hanging out at a neighborhood event the other day when some woman wandered in, dogs unleashed and one of them pooped in the middle of the playground. When she noticed us all staring at her, she leashed the dog and asked if anyone had a bag so she could clean up after her dog. She obviously

Just this morning my son and I were walking up the path to his school, and he said, "I wish people didn't bring their dogs here."

The reason: dog poop in the path.

Is there a law that people need to clean up after their dogs? Yes. Do people follow it? Quite often, no, they do not.

My list of grievances with irresponsible dog owners grows by the day, but top of the list is "permits unleashed pit bull to run around at park."

Pit Bulls and Children Don't Mix
Like uncovered outlets and loose batteries, pit bulls are a hazard for children. A photo of a pit bull momentarily not eating a child doesn't prove me wrong.
