Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

Exclusive: Sperm whale speech has human-like 'vowels' The mammals' mysterious clicks contain a stunning level of complexity, a new study shows.

holy shit -- the disclaimer CNN hosts read whenever they bring up Epstein is getting longer

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

There's just a giant intellectual, political, & institutional infrastructure built up around the Democratic Party, devoted to convincing it not to fight. The whole f'ing apparatus needs to be nuked from space.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”
