A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

This year, I founded an indie news blog doing long-form Op-eds.

It's 100% free and 100% reader funded. No venture capital, no ads, no bullshit.

And it is unapologetically opposed to Nazi fuckery.

Heck yeah: Researchers at Tufts University have made a liquid silk solution that grabs objects like Spider-Man’s web.
Accidental Breakthrough Makes Web-Slinging Silk A Reality
In a materials science discovery, scientists made a liquid silk solution that hardens and picks up objects—not unlike Spider-Man’s web.

For everyone who voted for Trump because “he’s not a politician”…

I hope your next colonoscopy is done by a plumber.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week.

Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations.

Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

The U.S. Air Force will no longer teach about the Tuskegee Airmen, the more than 15,000 Black pilots, mechanics and cooks in the segregated Army of World War II.

Course instruction about Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) − flying planes during WW2− was also pulled from basic training curriculum
Trump's DEI order strips Air Force curriculum of 1st Black pilots, female WWII pilots
Trump's executive order halting DEI means the Air Force no longer teaches recruits about WWII's Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots.
