Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Trump’s bunker fortress will be completed in the summer of 2028. He plans on never leaving. You have until then to remove him.

You have much more power than the people in charge of Washington want you to believe.
100 days from today comes the best chance we’ve had in a long time to use it. Let’s get to work.

Putting words in the mouths of dead soldiers is next level
Trump on fallen US troops: "All of them said very strongly, 'We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'"

Mamdani got into office and instantly:
• Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers
• Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders
• Fully funded NYC parks
• Added $680M for public schools
• Launched free child care for 2-year-olds
If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

The man pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists in one fell swoop and nobody did anything
He started a war with one nation and kidnapped the leader of another and nobody did anything
He literally tore down a third of the White House and nobody did anything
What else will our leaders do nothing about?

I think the parade should be called the “Knicker-Tape Parade”. Has a nice ring to it…yes?
The Knicks belong to New York City. And this championship belongs to the people who waited 53 years for it.
That’s why we’re giving away 600 free tickets to Thursday’s Championship Ceremony at City Hall following the ticker-tape parade.

I, for one, don’t give a rats patootie about Spirit Airlines. In fact, I wish more airlines would go under.
It’s a national embarrassment that we don’t have domestic high speed rail in 2026. Imagine if after the horse and buggy everyone just quit on improving transportation.
