The Army. Gen Wes Clark wasn't afraid to say it. The Army and other services are socialist.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

I think this chemo week I need to try even harder than usual to avoid social media. It's no place to be when you're struggling, for the most part.

I do get lonely lying around in bed, but I need to find another solution. If I think of anything I'll keep you posted.

While you're at it please tell Hallmark to basically f*** off! Seeing that ad on YouTube about a lost ring which is a rehash of a rehash and then seeing Kelsey Grammer telling me that Christ is born is making me want to puke

It certainly DOES matter.

"Perrone, whose firm earned buzz for its work with Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run, and Brown, a veteran presidential campaign operative for Elizabeth Warren & Barack Obama, were both hired to help Platner recover from his recent controversies."

They have RESIGNED. Wake up.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
