Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Q: Why/how has Bannon avoided blowback for his chummy ties with Epstein?
Is it that so many journalists, across the political spectrum, value him as a source?
Someone please enlighten me!

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

Buckle up, friends in academia:
This has slowly been happening at all but flagship public universities. This would accelerate the practice, and I expect more states (including some blue states) to follow suit in the coming years.
Breaking, from me: An executive order from Oklahoma's governor directs most of the state's public colleges to "phase out tenure." #AcademicSky #HigherEd @chronicle.com

As a doctor, I am horrified by what I saw at the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.
No medical protocols.
No real medical care.
No nurse on site when I visited.
No beds. No real blankets. Extremely cold temperatures. Minimal food.
These conditions are inhumane and unacceptable.

RFK is using his position to push things that have never shown any benefit in autism & have shown serious harms, including numerous dead kids thru the years. Why push for things known to harm instead of looking for things that could actually provide benefit? Because the harmful things are profitable

In just a few years, we've gone from Republican public figures joking about greeting their daughter's prom date at the door with a shotgun to them openly questioning if it's really all that bad for older men to groom teenage girls.
