From A Scanner Darkly:

"Let's hear it for the vague blur!" the host said loudly, and there was
mass clapping.
 In his scramble suit, Fred, who was also Robert Arctor, groaned and

The Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino’s use of tear gas has generated significant scrutiny and legal battles. He still goes around with it strapped to his chest. From yesterday in Edison Park. Photo @briancassella.bsky.social

A screenshot of a post on X that reads: 

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11β€”can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."
