“I’m a resident of the city of Albany, and I can’t … I don’t feel safe to go out for a walk and have a cigar right near the state Capitol,” Sarcone said. timesunion.com/news/article/k…

Keep writing, Chris Churchill. I voted for President Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump, and all things being the same, I would do it again, but Army Pvt. Henry Johnson deserves better for his heroics. We all need to be reminded of his example. timesunion.com/churchill/arti…

Progressives suddenly remember presidents shouldn’t act monarchically washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

There’s a lot going on here.

President Trump on Israel and Iran: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing."

FLORIDA! On TUESDAY your Reasonable Childhood Independence law goes into effect. It says "neglect" is when you put your kid in SERIOUS, OBVIOUS danger--not just anytime you let them play outside, walk to the store, etc. Send your kids out to frolic! letgrow.org/program/policy…

All David Paterson quotes are great, but this one is two-toned great. “All of us have a blind spot,” former Gov. David Paterson, who endorsed Cuomo, told the NYT. “His blind spot is that he doesn’t really connect particularly well with, just, people.” nytimes.com/2025/06/27/nyr…
