The amount of coughing and sneezing on this PACKED train to the burbs is insane.
Maybe running trains more than every 2 hours on a holiday is a good idea so we're not packed in like sardines during cold season.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

We've been told Republicans are very close to abandoning Trump for the last decade.
Jeffries: These reports that Republicans are going to follow Marjorie Taylor Greene to the exit, these are all consistent with some of the things that we’re hearing in the House of Representatives when we’re on the floor.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Sure, he's all over the Epstein files. Yes, he said Dem Senators should be executed for sedition. Yes, he ordered the government shutdown and then took credit for the re-opening. Sure, he's murdering Venezuelan fishermen.
But how cute is his meeting with Mamdani?!?
