A New Yorker Rediscovers Her City, in a Wheelchair After losing her legs, a New York Times food writer began to feel like a tourist in her home city. So, facing her fears, she met it like one.

"But I want more than to be present for the life ahead. I want to engage and adapt, and to allow myself the grace to learn how. This shape-shifting city is a product of our humanity. Its beauty is our beauty. Its flaws are our flaws too."

I once heard a friend say that he didn't believe a woman should be President because we're too emotional. Name ONE woman who has ever gone on a shooting rampage out of anger.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Jon Ossoff didn't sugarcoat it.

"While you pay more for everything, the first family's wealth is growing by billions. Because they're crooks.
And everybody knows it." 💯

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Are they really paying more?

Take all of the other "nickel and dime" taxes in the U.S. Sales tax, tax on cell phone bill, gas, property, local/state/federal. Then healthcare, education etc.

Are Norwegians paying all the other taxes?

I don't know. But, curious on a apples to apples comp.

America can afford universal healthcare, but that would mean putting people ahead of profits

Republicans are asking for investigations into Swalwell but not Trump. Weird.

According to Federal Reserve economists, without Trump's tariffs, inflation would have dropped to pre-pandemic levels last year.

Instead, core goods prices were up 3.1% by February 2026 — and Trump's Iran War will send prices skyrocketing even higher.

Tired of winning yet?

This interaction between White House election security official Kurt Olsen and Paul Brown, the head of the FBI’s Atlanta field office, is eye-popping. Brown was pressured to retire for not going along with the plan to seize 2020 ballots from Fulton County. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Calls increase for expulsion of Swalwell and Gonzales over sexual abuse allegations — POLITICO Legislators across the political spectrum have called for both men to exit the political stage.

If Swalwell did what he is accused of then he should definitely drop out. But why is there a different standard for Democrats and The GOP?
Jen Paxton has had affairs and Trump is accused of assaulting over 26 women and children.

Trump didn't like Iran blocking the strait, so he's going to block the strait. JFC. 25 already.

Just a reminder that the US ran the most expensive wargame in history concerning Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz because every expert knew it would happen in a US/Iran conflict and it requires careful strategy to resolve. But our President decided to Leeroy Jenkins it.

Europeans want more renewables, even if it increases energy bills Public enthusiasm for clean energy comes as the Iran war exposes Europe’s vulnerability to global oil and gas markets.

Huge poll explodes the growing contention that #netzero should be dropped as unpopular. Most Europeans want #renewables expanded even if they cost more (which they don’t). Few would go for fossil fuels even if they were cheaper which they aren’t).

Spot on.

Americans can’t afford housing, health care, or groceries, but Trump’s using taxpayer dollars to build his own arch.

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down.

Instead, he drove it up.

Public Transportation In The US: A Driver Of Health And Equity | Health Affairs Brief New or expanded public transportation options can improve health and health equity by reducing traffic crashes and air pollution, increasing physical activity, and improving access to medical care, healthy food, vital services, employment, and social connection.

Here’s a “radical” idea for MAHA: reducing our reliance on oil would make America healthier.

Data suggest that public transportation can improve your health.

Plus you know all the other benefits like not bombing other counties to steal their oil.

He wanted to cut it by 150%, until they explained to him, using crayons and construction paper, that it's not possible.

I don’t think Pete Hegseth’s henchman yelling at the papal ambassador to the US is going to intimidate this Pope.

If you can automatically enroll someone in the draft, you can automatically enroll someone to vote.

If you’re prioritizing a war and our participation in it, you better damn well also prioritize the path for our voices in government to vote against it.

I just had a blood test to check my Polio titer. After over 60 years, I am fully protected from Polio. That is the miracle of vaccines. Being unvaccinated is like playing Russian roulette.
