Mamdani: In a win for every ice cream lover across New York City, we will work with the state to do away with the frozen dessert permit that requires restaurants to seek out a superfluous second permit for what they’re already doing: serving food.

No more treat-sploitation, as we say.

Right now, barbershops need three licenses to cut hair: one to be a barber, one to own the shop, and one from the city on top of both.

The state of affairs is frankly anti-fade, and we will not stand for it, which is why we will work with the state to streamline these licenses as well.

And to the bingo enthusiasts out there, for too long, the potential earnings of a hot streak at bingo have been capped by arcane rules that no longer reflect how the game is actually being played.

With OPEN, DCWP will remove unnecessary regulations, including prize limits.

These are just a few of the improvements we are proud to announce today as we make it clear we are in the pocket of Big Abuela.

Men and their noise pollution needs to be stopped. Stop revvving your engines, stop blasting your shit music, stop bringing stereos to public places. The reason women don’t do this is because we are considerate of other people in our community

So let me get this straight. Taylor Farms lettuce gets linked to the cyclospora outbreak. The CEO visits the White House and donates to Trump. Then the FDA says the positive finding was a “false positive.”

Nothing suspicious about that at all.

A Texas woman got an abortion. So Texas police used 83,000 Flock cameras to track her down. 83 THOUSAND!! They aren't using these cameras to track down rapists, pedophiles, or traffickers. They're not using them to find your missing children. They're using them to throw women in jail for making choices about their own bodies, with OUR tax dollars.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live más comrade

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

A very annoying thing that happens now is that people who know nothing about a subject will "consult" AI, get the wrong information, and then try to "correct" you on a subject you actually know something about. They treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi

Fun Fact: Cyclosporiasis is an AIDS-defining disease. Only in patients with severely compromised immune systems (CD4+ counts <200 cells/μL) can cyclosporiasis present this aggressively.

Funny that Mitch McConnell looked so much worse on April 30th than he did just yesterday after being in the hospital for a month. Seems he reverse aged there. Some of his hair even turned black again.

OK get your tinfoil ready.

Graham inspected a drone factory in Ukraine yesterday. Russia blew up that facility today. Then, tonight, it is announced that Graham is dead from a "sudden illness". No more details

I'd say there is a decent chance that Russia blew up Lindsey Graham.

Can’t believe the guy who was a Blackwater merc with a Nazi tattoo that he lied about for 20 years turned out not to be a good choice of political candidate.

If only there had been some warning signs.

Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.

YES: Mamdani's administration just funded New York City's first-ever pet food pantry program.

$750,000 in the FY2027 budget, specifically to help pet owners who can't afford food for their animals. Another $750,000 goes toward affordable spay/neuter services. $1.5 million total, aimed at keeping people and their pets together.

Here's why it matters: NYC animal shelters took in over 16,000 animals last year. Nearly 10,000 were strays. Another 6,500 were owner surrenders — people who loved their pets but couldn't afford to feed them or get them basic vet care, and had to give them up.

Animal welfare advocates had been pushing for this for years, asking for $15.3 million to fully fund pantries, spay/neuter clinics in every borough, and a real animal welfare office. They got a fraction of the ask, But it's the first time the city has put dedicated dollars behind the idea at all.

No family should have to choose between rent and feeding their family — pets included. This is a start.

NEW: Israel is preparing to begin moving Palestinians into CONCENTRATION CAMPS in Gaza within weeks.

According to Israel Hayom, unarmed civilians would be directed into a fenced camp in Tel al Sultan near Rafah, while a foreign force operating under the Trump administration’s “Board of Peace” polices the area from a newly built base.

The plan is described as a “pincer movement”: Israel expands its military control over Gaza while the Palestinian population is concentrated into controlled enclaves, leaving Hamas “without a population, territory or resources.”

Officials say the camps will receive aid and caravans, but not the concrete needed to rebuild Gaza.
