Have you ever watched a 24-hour news channel and wondered to yourself…how the hell did that person get on air?

The Bikelane and sidewalks on Woodbine heading south are now clear! It kept me up all night but that's okay because now it won't be a slog to take my daughter out in her stroller. Also now delivery bikes can get around safely! Thanks to the city staff sucking up all the snow last night!

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.
What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?
We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

Want to cross the street to go to woodbine park from the lake? Goodluck, the snow plows thought it was a great idea to place a snow bank on the sidewalk so high that you can't get to the crossing button. Have fun crossing the highway without a signal. What are sidewalks anyways?
