In 2018, New York completed a project to replace the nearly 70-year-old Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River with a new structure. Gov. Andrew Cuomo named it after his father, former governor Mario Cuomo. No one calls it the Mario Cuomo Bridge. It is still called the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Watching All the President’s Men. I miss that Washington Post. Maybe Jeff Bezos should watch a documentary on Amazon called Becoming Katherine Graham. Maybe he could learn a thing or two about owning a newspaper.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The Buffalo Bills fired head coach McDermott. What should have happened is the estate of owner Ralph Wilson and the NFL should have sold the team toTrump. The Bills would have e been awful but the world would have been better off no matter what Republican or Democrat was elected President.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

The CEOs of two major NYC hospital systems rake in over $16M and $26M per year 💸 Meanwhile, nearly 15,000 nurses are walking off the job--demanding safe staffing, fair pay, and protection from workplace violence. This is standing up for dignity.
