As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳 To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

"Musk has become much less of a political attention magnet. What changed?" honestly a lot of it is you guys got bored covering all the damage he was doing

A rambling speech by Donald Trump shall henceforth be known as a #TACO salad.

CDC tells Americans to CANCEL their flights after finding world's most infectious disease (RFK Jr’s measles) is spreading on planes www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-mea...

The CDC updated its warning about the risk of contracting measles while traveling on Wednesday this week, after dozens of cases in travelers who were infectious while flying within the US, and recommends NOT FLYING if your measles vaccinations are not up to date. 1/ www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-mea...

This is MAGA's one, big, beautiful healthcare plan.

Pouring one out for the White House staff that did everything they could to make sure Trump never found out about “TACO.”

Exactly as predicted, now that DOGE has scraped all your personal data from government agencies, it's all being given to Peter Thiel's Palantir. It was always going to be Peter, who has dreamed of dictatorship for decades, patiently built his "political project". 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

Reuters is publishing Ukraine's list of conditions to be presented at negotiations in Istanbul: - 30-day complete ceasefire. - All-for-all prisoner exchange. - Meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin. - No restrictions on Ukrainian forces. - No recognition of Russian territorial gains.

Look who's suddenly woken up after years of bashing Ukraine.

We estimate that there are roughly 67 bombers in the active inventory" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... FAS doesn't give Tu-160 numbers, but fewer than 20, IIRC

Flightline on Fire: Spectacular images of SBU special operation “Web” to destroy enemy bomber aircraft.The SBU says over 40 have been destroyed, including Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers and A-50 aircraft. The enemy's losses already exceed $2 billion, the SBU says.

This will be in textbooks. Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks. 1/
