AOC on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's surprise resignation from Congress:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

And now a word from AOC.

I didn’t have to watch the 60 Minutes interview to know they turned into Fox Lite. They’ll never hold him accountable.

Andrew Cuomo Β© @andrewcuomo β€’ 10m
Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment.
You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You've had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich.
Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it.
We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don't need it.
Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

Andrew Cuomo just moved to an $8300 a month apartment in Sutton Place and is still registered to vote at his billionaire brother-in-law Kenneth Cole’s Westchester mansion

JD Vance warns against UK going down 'dark path' of losing free speech during meeting with David Lammy The vice president and the UK's foreign secretary held a televised meeting during the Vance family's summer holiday to England.

They tell us to keep out of there business but can't stop trying to poke their slimy lowlife noses into ours.
Even just looking at this pic below makes my blood boil. The viral f***wit used to refer to Trump as Hitler, but now can't stop cuddling his fetid ballpark.
What a pathetic excuse for a man.

Trump is dismissing IRS Commissioner Billy Long, the sixth person to lead the agency THIS YEAR. Trump hasn't even been in office 7 full months yet. Bessent will be the 7th to lead the agency, in the absence of a named commissioner. Who will be the eighth?

Also, 25% of the employees are gone.

Today we were rear-ended by a Tesla in a parking lot. It was minor (thank God), but our car is 13 so it's concerning. She admitted fault & felt really bad. She was also annoyed & surprised that her Tesla didn't beep a warning. For me, this felt very timely.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
