The statement he issued a day after the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust, when people were still learning horrific details about the attacks of Oct. 7th, has 4.7 million views on X, with an increase during the campaign. Many Jews saw this as a justification of Hamas’s actions.

If the NYC mayor either steps down or is removed from office, public advocate Jumaane Williams would fill the void and oversee a special election in as soon as 90 days. It would be a non-partisan, ranked choice vote to fill the remainder of the term.. Then, in June, we'd still have the Dem primary.

Very few people speak at events for altruistic reasons. As much as they may align with an organization, they still ask for a speaker's fee. The soon to be spokesperson for the U.S. Dept. of State, @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy personality Tammy Bruce, apparently asks for $20,000 to speak in person.

The New Orleans terrorist was born in the U.S. He served in the U.S. military in Afghanistan. But somehow immigrants coming across the border are to blame? Divisive propaganda requires an enemy to rally the masses around.

Trump's intention to appoint Kari Lake to lead @voanews.bsky.social seems antithetical to VOA's charter. Lake consistently gave air to lies and conspiracy theories surrounding Trump's election loss in 2020. VOA is supposed to be unbiased and non-partisan. Lake has been extremely partisan.

Imagine being a judge, an arbiter of justice, losing your election to an opponent, having that loss verified by two recounts, & then challenging the validity of 60,000 ballots, including votes cast by your opponent's parent & 21 current public officials. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
