been very hard to watch a bunch of 50-year-old podcasters come to terms with having a job.

FBI Deputy Director breaks down on Fox: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, you know, my wife is struggling... I stare at these four walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but l mean, separated. And it's hard."

Screenshot of a quote-retweet from Tipping Pitches - original tweet from Ravi Mangla states "People overcame this" and has a screenshot of a graph regarding June 2025's NYC mayoral candidates' funding sources.

Text above the graph says "Pro-Cuomo super pacs have flooded the mayoral fundraising race. The graph is titled "Fundraising by New York City mayoral campasigns and allied super pacs" and has three color-coded sections for each line - a blue section for Campaign fundraising, a magenta section for Matching Public Funds, and a green section for Allied Super PACs. Adrienne Adams is the bottom candidate, with $2.8 million in total funds, and her percentages look to be about 35% Campaign and 65% Matching (section percentages listed in this alt text are approximate and estimated). Next up is Zellnor Myrie with $4.2 million, appx 25% Campaign, 75% Matching. Eric Adams is next with $4.8 million, all of it Campaign funding. Scott Stringer is next with $5.1 million, 20% Campaign, 80% Matching. Brad Lander is next with $7.5 million, 20% Campaign, 80% Matching. Zohran Mamdani (the eventual victor in the Democratic primaries and presumable frontrunner for the mayoral general election) is next with $9.1 million, a little under 20% Campaign, a little under 80% Matching, and about 5% from Allies Super PACs. Andrew Cuomo tops the list with $35.6 million, far outpacing any other candidate by nearly 4 times, with approximately 15% Campaign funds, 10% Matching funds, and an approximately whopping 75% from Allied Super PACs, a green section that stands out starkly from the rest of the candidates below.

Tipping Pitches's quote-retweet of that original message states "haven't seen a new yorker waste 40 million bucks like this since Steve Cohen signed Justin Verlander"

Look I know things are bad but Donald Trump is dumb enough that I think we could trick him into getting us universal healthcare. Make it about how everyone else is beating America at it
