You’re right, I can’t tell you these things because this is all bs. NYC spends $44k per student. America spends massively on healthcare, poverty, etc. And, of course, Israel isn’t committing genocide and the amount of aid money it receives is a rounding error on what we spend on welfare and entitlement programs. This woman panders to the know-nothing populist left, the way the Benny Johnson crowd panders to the know-nothing right. But at least Johnson’s not going to Congress.

I have a problem with the fact that the woman who just won her primary in New York and will be a member of Congress went to a rally on October 8th celebrating the slaughter of Jews. There are a lot of my jewish friends who have a problem with that. This isn't hard.
Hot take, maybe, but I don't think she should be fired for this (it's not directly related to her job) but she absolutely should be imprisoned for theft of public property and aggravated littering. Not for a decade or anything, but like: 30 days? Sure. Thirty Days.
Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
