Joseph Bruno - Wikipedia

The best part is the train station being named after Joe Bruno, an everlasting symbol of the Capital Region's corruption and impunity.

High-profile Jan. 6 defendant facing charges of kidnapping and sexually assaulting woman John Banuelos' case was unique among Capitol riot prosecutions because he was the only defendant accused of pulling and firing a gun while on Capitol grounds.

I missed this one, but definitely not surprised. John Banuelos, aka #CowPoke the man seen firing a weapon on Jan 6 and who threatened a couple of #SeditionHunters has been arrested on kidnapping and sexual assault charges

Executive Order 61 is almost certainly someone dusting off language the Catholic Church wanted to criminalize "demonic" ACT-UP protests.

He is almost certainly going to take a hit for offering a false instrument for filing to some part of the elections bureaucracy.

Also, Trump can't help him with state level issues.

lol at thinking Adams did anything other than collect money off them (containerization was Tisch's thing at Sanit., City of Yes was Garodnick at City Planning Commission).

Going to be fun watching the rest of his administration go to prison.

It's starting to get weird that apps now issue annual report cards about their users, complete with tritely flattering phrases.

"Plays well with others," "A pleasure to have in class," "Made a bunch of shareholder value that will increase the CEO's compensation package!" etc. etc.

Nice to see Jeff Dinowitz held accountable. Now do the rest of the white Rhodesians of Riverdale who have ripped off the rest of the Bronx for decades.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.

GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)
