I’m still waiting for Elise Stefanik to weigh in on the Santos commutation since he scammed all her friends and big donors after she vouched for him.

I wish Bolton all the best against these politically motivated indictments by Trump DOJ. But, I do remember when Bolton had a chance to testify at Trump’s impeachment hearing which might have persuaded a few more senators to convict this monster but he decided to write a book instead!🤬🖕🏾

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.
