If the rumors about the Epstein files are true, and ending the shutdown forces Johnson to open the House and swear in Grijalva, which in turn results in a release of the Epstein files, then maybe this is a brilliant maneuver? More likely it's just Dems shooting themselves in the foot again, though.

We pay 40% less on gas in our household now than we did in 2023! (More than half the miles we drive now take place in an electric car.)

She knows she can't win. But she's terrified of what it would mean if she lost a re-election bid for her NY-21 seat. Being the losing candidate in an unwinable race for the governor's seat won't eliminate her from the Fox News pundit payroll, but losing her NY-21 seat might.

My honest take on this is that she sees a huge blue wave coming in 2026. Blake Gendebien is the perfect candidate to defeat her, and losing her NY-21 seat in an election would be the end of her career. A loss in an unwinable race is less embarassing and she can go on to be a Fox News pundit.

I live in her district and I think she’s reading the tea leaves on her chances of winning in NY-21. The Democrats have an excellent candidate in Blake Gendebien, and it would be humiliating for her to lose her seat in a safe red district. Better to lose a high profile race for Governor of NY.

I think she believes getting destroyed in a race for NY governor will be less destructive to her political ambitions (will likely raise her national profile even if she loses in a landslide) than losing her NY-21 seat to Blake Gendebien in a deep red district.

Please add NY-21 to this list.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Honestly it’s an interesting signal on what the NY-21 race will look like if she doesn’t run for governor and decides to run for her own seat again. I think if a NY-21 election had been held between her and Blake Gendebien tonight, she would have lost.

I would like to know if this is a strategy to try to recapture the people who canceled their Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions and fled to YouTube TV after they muzzled Jimmy Kimmel.

Seems like a good strategy to get all those people who fled Hulu and Disney+ bundles in the wake of the Kimmel suspension to come back. Which is an even better reason to stick with YouTube TV

Honestly, if I were so inclined to be violent on behalf of the president (to be clear, I am not), I don't see how I don't read this as a literal get out of jail free card.

Just a simple Kavanaugh stop. Nothing to see here.

He's kind of right ... Republicans aren't in charge of the government, Donald Trump is. But that's only because the Republicans in Congress can't find their spines and do whatever he tells them to do.

If your reaction to hearing that we live in a country where 40 million people need assistance to feed their family is to be angry at those people and not the system, then I don’t know what to tell you.

You’re skipping the threaten broadcasters with fines for accepting the advertisement stage.

Coming up next — threats of prosecution/fines to any broadcaster who runs the ad.

Can you still drive it? Oh you can? This is just a silly column. Sorry you don’t have access to to Grok while you’re driving. Maybe focus on the road instead.

Amen

No one did it better than this guy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD7B...

But he's not taking a salary, so it's OK, right?

I'm 47 years old and 60+ pounds overweight and I could pass this test relatively easily. Unreal.

All that being said -- I am still overwhelmingly optimistic for our future. Saturday energized me, and seeing the rallies around the country made me proud to be an American. Thanks to the Potsdam PD for following up on this. Law enforcement like this makes America great. (8/8)

Attempts to raise funds for this individual, and the praise some have heaped on him, will only reinforce that behavior. I suppose it shouldn't surprise me to see this when the President of the United States posts an AI video of him flying over protests and spraying them with feces. (7/8)

I certainly had a lot to learn at 19 years old. I made plenty of mistakes -- but I'm thankful that I was held accountable for them, and as a result, I've learned and grown. (6/8)

There was a point in time when this type of behavior would have been roundly criticized by all in my community, regardless of political views. But now, a vocal minority celebrates it. (5/8)

I'm sad that many in our community think that this 19 year old did something awesome, to the point that they're crowdfunding his legal fees. I'm sad at how many people are demonizing people who, like me, are raising our voices in political protest. (4/8)

But now, after reading the comments surrounding this story on multiple outlets' social media posts, I'm just sad. Sad that a misdirected 19 year old thought that this was funny in the moment -- and based on his comments in some of the threads, he still thinks it's funny. (3/8)

Teen accused of disrupting "No Kings" protest in Potsdam faces multiple charges Police say he squeeled his tires on the street, creating a cloud of smoke and blocked traffic.

I found out today that he was arrested and charged with 16 offenses. Saturday was such a positive day and when I first saw the news, I'll be honest, I felt like he was getting his comeuppance. (h/t @ncprnews.bsky.social) www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5... (2/8)
