The Army Sec got it wrong. We don't have a man on the moon. We have a former DOGE spokeswoman on top of the Mars guy. Space is hard.

Dear NYers: I adore your city. It is my favorite city on earth. I always feel welcome there and it reminds me of my immigration story- like millions of other Americans. Please do not vote for the rancid sexual assaulting murderous rancid dog shit smear on a NY sidewalk in August (Cuomo). Thank you ❤️

There were a # of them, all great. Lazy useless reporters.
