We should all be allergic to Cuomo shrimp!

Also, Orange you glad he’s not mayor?

Since taking office for a second term, Trump has sought to increase US investments in several key industries, from steel to technology, prompting questions about whether Republicans were drifting from the “small government” platform they are often associated with.

Portland Police yesterday:
10 police cars and an ambulance responding to a situation that involved one homeless woman who was screaming outside of the Architectural Heritage Society.
8 officers were a part of holding her down and restraining her.

Didn’t see what prompted this.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo.

“the lost cause” promoted an outlandishly misleading account in which slavery was irrelevant as the cause of the Civil War & benevolent because Christianity & plantation life benefited African-descended people who were otherwise unfit for civilization.

School is going to start. More kids on streets that are teeming with military vehicles and troops carrying Sig Sauer pistols that fire on their own randomly.

I feel bad for the people of DC and especially the kids.

Got to see the West Virginia State Police train on tear gas.

They didn’t contain it. Didn’t wear real gear.

This creates some very weird incentives.

Suddenly my neighbor goes through my trash counting tampons & looking for pill packaging. Steals my phone to get information.
