Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Wondering why government officials keep breaking the law and getting away with it?
The Epstein class is quite wealthy and people like money.
Hope that clears things up for you.

Good. It’s easy to forget that climate change denial & shilling for fossil fuel companies provided a template for Tufton Street, Brexit & pretty much every egregious example of persuading populations to vote against their own interests. The story of Don Pearlman should be taught in kindergartens…

A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.
“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

2778 years ago, on the 21st of April 753 BCE, according to legend, Romulus founded the city of Rome. Archaeological evidence of human occupation in the area goes back over 5000 years, with accelerating development in the early to mid 8th century BCE. #otd #history 🗃️

Pope James David Vance the First
The vice president has decided he’s a more accomplished theologian than Leo XIV.
Vance has now seized the top seat in the Death of Expertise Hall of Fame: He has lectured the pope—the pope, the leader of a billion and a half Catholics—about being too sloppy with theology.
The queen of all vices: Pride.

Trump has succeeded in uniting Catholics against him — The i Paper
The President should understand that you attack a Pope at your peril
Trump’s managed to do something that previous Presidents for decades have failed to do.
Unite the liberal progressive Catholic who tend to vote Democrat with the conservative traditional Catholic who tend to vote Republican (over 60%) now united against Trump.

BBC Host fakes Epstein interview to help Farage - Mandelson Scandal
YouTube video by Femi - F Politics!
Sky & BBC News are weaponising Epstein's victims:
How?
They (rightfully) condemn Starmer for hiring Mandelson, KNOWING he was friends with a convicted abuser.
But never mention Farage backing a convicted abuser as an MP and befriending MANY others.

Boris Johnson failed vetting, yet Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary.
Dominic Cummings was never vetted, yet had free access to Government and Number 10.
The vetting process is self evidently farcical.

A fascinating yet essential read - exposing what is actually happening with Trump (from a cognitive neuroscientist).

Is Russia Weaponising the Global Helium Supply?
I went looking for a “quiet” cargo that could test the Strait of Hormuz.
I ended up asking a very different question:
Is helium being weaponised?
This sounds extreme. It might be.
But follow the logic with me.

I did wonder about this line.
I was scanning through all reports and could not see anything.
Then it occurred to me. The UKMTO put the warnings out.
Does he think that this means that all the ships are UK-flagged because of this? The face I have to ask that about a USA commander in chief… 🤦♂️

As you watch the scandal over Mendelson failing clearance, consider how many people either FAILED (Dan Bongino) or just escaped (Kushner and Witkoff) clearance reviews altogether.
No idea whether Kash and his alleged drinking problem was properly reviewed. Kavanaugh was not.
