@jpodhoretz Hey there! It’s the first. This is at a mosque, where we were invited by the congregation to speak before prayer. In this context, head coverings are the respectful move. One of the fun parts of being a rep for NYC is learning different customs for so many communities. Cheers!
If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than:

Palantir
Roku
HP
3M
PG&E
Halliburton

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

"There are no Amish with autism"
There are
"Vaccines aren't tested against placebo"
They are
"MMR has never been studied as a possible cause of autism"
