My dad joined the Marine Corps in 1964. 60 years ago he landed on the beaches of Vietnam as part of the first regular forces in the war. Despite having survivors guilt, he recently said the two best things he did in his life were marrying my mom and becoming a Marine. Happy birthday to the Marines.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."
This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I'm at a veterans' event for my dad and other vets. It's crazy that my dad went to Vietnam 60 years ago.

The only person who has been seizing private companies through the power of the state is Trump.
Kelly Loeffler: "This is gonna be a crisis in the city of New York, to have a communist in there talking about seizing the means of production ... this is the face of Democrat Party now, and you saw that with everyone coming and bowing to him."

If Mamdani brings a Mets World Series, they need to rename JFK.
Okay, but can Mamdani shore up the Mets’ rotation?

I really like Curtis Sliwa. I don't want him to be mayor, but he's a NYC institution who respects the will of the people. He may be a weird guy, but he's NYC's weird guy.
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

I'm the son of an immigrant who moved to Queens and the grandson of a carpenter who helped build NYC. I can't agree with this more.
Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

There is a great sociological study in the making examining the 6k+ people who voted for Eric Adams.

If I went to law school with you and you live in Nassau County, there's a decent chance I voted for you for a judicial position. I refuse to vote for candidates running unopposed across every party out of pure principle.
