Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Did you know that the late, great D’Angelo sang on the Red Dead Redemptions 2 soundtrack? You can really hear his church roots come through in this song.

Pancreatic cancer is a doozy even with early detection. Yes take care of yourself, but sometimes misfortune happens no matter how serious we take our wellness. Be good to people and do what you love.
