We are officially four days out! ๐ณ๏ธ
Rebecca and I started our morning meeting voters at the Stony Brook train station discussing the potential of a one-seat ride, which would allow for a direct line between Port Jefferson and Penn Station, without having to switch connections in Huntington.
I am committed to working with our local elected officials on all levels to deliver real results for Suffolk County.

Friday!
Youโre almost at your journeyโs end. Use caution on those upcoming curves & corners. Leave room for others, as they journey. Remember life is all around you. Open your eyes & see it, before it is gone. Letโs go!
Be careful. Be safe. Be shiny. Be glimmer.
Be you to the full.
Take no shit.
ALT ยท 204 The river moved quietly through the town, carrying fallen leaves toward places he would never see. As a boy, he had spent entire afternoons on its banks, convinced that life was waiting just around the corner. Standing there now, he realized that life had indeed been waiting. It had arrived, stayed for a while, and slipped away so gently that he had scarcely noticed it leaving.

An Auburn, WA officer straddled a man on the ground and punched him in the head more than 20 times before he was handcuffed, according to video. The officer is now on administrative leave. The public deserves a full explanation for this horrific treatment!

White privilege is one hell of a drug.
๐จ A white couple called 911 on a Black Ruby Tuesday manager over a $30 plate of ribs.
"I WANTED TO GET A FREE MEAL..."
A diner walked straight up to their booth, camera rolling: "This is the face of entitlement. You calling the police on someone for some ribs?"
His reason: "Well, if we don't pay, she'll call the cops, right?"
"She's charging us thirty dollars and we couldn't even eat the ribs."
She calls it: "You're trying to get a free meal out of it." Then she offers to cover it. His answer: "No, I don't want you to pay for it."
"Do you know how unreasonable you sound to call the police?"
"I don't care whether it sounds unreasonable or not."
Should calling the police over a restaurant bill come with a fine?

Chain of Command, Part II.
And itโs not close.
In honour of Sir Patrick Stewartโs passing, here are my top ten episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation:
1. The Inner Light (S5 Ep. 25)
2. Tapestry (S6 Ep. 15)
3. The Measure of a Man (S1 Ep. 9)
4. Darmok (S5 Ep. 2)
5. The Drumhead (S4 Ep. 21)
6. The Pegasus (S7 Ep. 12)
7. I, Borg (S5 Ep. 23)
8. Who Watches the Watchers (S3 Ep. 4)
9. Ensign Ro (S5 Ep. 3)
10. Cause and Effect (S5 Ep. 18)
All are philosophically very interesting and most are carried by Stewartโs performance. I highly recommend them.

BREAKING: from the East Potomac golf course hearing. Judge Reyes is not letting the Trump admin off easy.
She ordered DOJ's #3, Stan Woodward, and the head of the National Park Service to show up in person. And she started the hearing by reading the DC Bar's rule about candor to the court.
She asked Woodward if DOJ made any false assertions to the court. "Not to my knowledge." Then she asked if he read ALL the transcripts before getting involved, including DOJ's motion to disqualify HER.
Interior's lawyer, Noah Hoggatt, got the same question. Did Interior make any material misrepresentations of fact or law to the court? Same answer. "Not to my knowledge."
Hoggatt then declined to say whether Secretary Burgum was "involved" in the golf course decision-making. When he pressed Reyes on the definition of "involved," she pulled up a dictionary and read it to him.
Then she asked Hoggatt when he first learned of the plan to close the course. Woodward objected on "apex doctrine" grounds. After a sharp exchange, Hoggatt sat down and Woodward answered.
She pressed Woodward on Trump's Oct. 18 Truth Social post saying the course will close Nov. 15. Did Trump mean what he said? Woodward says that's shielded by executive privilege.
Now here's the conflict. Trump posted again on Oct. 26 that it would close Nov. 15 "as scheduled." Woodward says he doesn't know what Trump was referring to. He says the plan to close it wasn't made official until Oct. 28.
Reyes also went after the sea wall excuse. It wasn't mentioned at any point in this case until this month. She says it speaks to the plaintiffs' concern that it's a "pretext" to carry out Trump's plan.
They're on a break now. More coming.

I collaborated with Pablo Torre and Kiera Butler in their latest reporting on Tim Tebow & the Life Surge Christian finance scam...
I went to the Charlotte event a couple of weeks ago, and what I witnessed was exploitative to say the least. Check it out...
Good morning.
Here's the new sequel to our Life Surge investigation.
It involves Tim Tebow, internal financial documents, and now Sage Steele: youtu.be/3PUGjIKtD00?si=SkKgโฆ
