🚨NEWS: Congressional probe alleges massive fraud in Trump-aligned Freedom 250, alleging Trump allies misled donors, hijacked America’s 250th, and sold access for millions https://t.co/3pmKJiVpnX
#Supergirl es una aventura galáctica cargada de entretenimiento. Cumple con la función y con una excelente #MillyAlcock que es la estrella sideral. Más aciertos que peros y un viaje perfecto para el verano. El odio en su contra es incoherente y desmedido. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Mamdani: There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain: Love it or leave it.
But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent. It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time. It is precisely because we love this nation, that we will not leave it.
Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years, what do we see? ... we see the wealthiest country in the history of the world -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"
BREAKING: Governor Wes Moore just announced his plan to lower utility bills for over 200,000 Maryland residents. This is what fighting for affordability looks like.
Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism.
American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.
And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.
For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.
We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.
The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.
It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.
The political performance art online is so lame. Before criticizing New York, maybe check your own backyard.
Texas officials tell residents to set thermostats to 78° and conserve power when the grid is under strain. The state has a long history of grid failures, and when one of the worst hit, Ted Cruz flew to Cancún.
If you're going to attack another city's leadership, expect people to bring up your own record.
"Loitering is not permitted in this area," an audio recording sternly warns, as uniformed National Guard troops patrol Washington's iconic, algae-plagued reflecting pool. "Please proceed to a designated location."
Journalist Amanda Moore's dystopian video, shot last weekend just steps from the Lincoln Memorial, instantly went viral—a perfect 8-second encapsulation of American democracy under Donald Trump. Amanda has spent the past 18 months documenting the chaos and brutality of the administration's militarized takeovers and immigration raids in cities across the country. Her footage has been shocking, often horrifying. But it's never before been quite so absurd. (Well, maybe once.)
In her latest video report for Mother Jones, Amanda takes us on a tour of the Trumpified National Mall as the nation attempts to celebrate its 250th birthday. Not far from the reflecting pool's nanobubblers and security theater, there's a very different scene: Trump's Great America State Fair. When Amanda visited this marquee anniversary event, she found a dearth of visitors, a shortage of napkins, and a decaying model of the triumphal arch the president wants to build across the Potomac.
The symbolism here is about as subtle as a Jon McNaughton painting. If I hadn't seen Amanda's reporting, I never would have believed it was real.
Mayor Mamdani's Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) just released its preliminary report after 780+ New Yorkers testified across seven hearings and the findings are clear: permitting takes too long, contracting shuts out small businesses, and outdated systems slow everything down.
The Commission is eyeing reforms for outdoor dining, housing permits, street safety projects, and the city's rainy day fund, all of which could land on the November ballot. There are three hearings left: Staten Island July 6, Manhattan July 8, Queens July 13.
Since January 1, we have seen the fewest murders, shooting victims and shooting incidents in our city's history, and the safest start of the year in public housing.
This progress is the result of the hard work of the members of the NYPD and tens of thousands of public servants across City government who keep New Yorkers safe every day.
We're not resting on our laurels. We will continue the work of building a city where everyone is safe.
Fui a ver supergirl porque aunque no soy fan del género de superhéroes, no dejaré que un hombre me diga que fue una película mala y, ¿adivinen qué? ES BUENÍSIMA VAYAN A VERLA
Milly Alcock says filming MAN OF TOMORROW has a very different vibe compared to SUPERGIRL.
“It’s hard to code switch, and it’s a different environment than the environment that we had on Supergirl. It’s a different story, but all of the cast that I’ve gotten to work with have been super open and really lovely. Like Nicholas Hoult [and] David [Corenswet]. I love [Nicholas]. [Alan Tudyk], who plays Gary the robot, was also there. He’s so funny… Lars [Eidinger, who plays Brainiac]… I’m excited. I’m excited to keep doing it.”
