If Zohran wins tomorrow, Cuomo will run as an independent with the most racist Islamaphobic campaign you've ever seen. Establishment Dems will line up to nuke their own primary winning candidate.

It wouldn't even be the first time in New York. They already did it to India Walton in Buffalo.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.

Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.
