My first chief of staff is doing great things! Very proud of Nicole!
It’s been an absolute honor to serve as Communications Director for Saritha Komatireddy for New York Attorney General @sarithaforny I’ve never met a harder working candidate or someone more genuinely dedicated to New Yorkers. Saritha is truly remarkable and over the last several months, our team ran a relentless, innovative, unapologetically bold campaign that brought a message of common sense and compassion to every single community in New York State. We went viral, reached millions of New Yorkers, generated over 54 million views and impressions in our final 90 days alone, and elevated the voices of those who have been ignored. Through the long days, sleepless nights, and countless miles traveled, we never lost sight of what we were fighting for. I genuinely believe we ran THE BEST campaign in the country. Saritha, thank you for trusting me with your vision. Working alongside you has been one of the greatest privileges of my professional life. An election may mark the end of a campaign, but it does not mark the end of a cause. I will never stop fighting for New York. ❤️

Saw a delivery guy get his bike stolen in the middle of picking up a food order. He was devastated I helped share some security footage & spoke w cops for him While I hate these apps, I still feel compassion for the drivers that rely on them. I wish it was regulated. I also wish a bike unlocked for 2 mins didn’t stolen in our city. The good news? The cops found it uptown & returned to him! He came by my business to thank me and show he got it back

I hope everyone realizes where this is heading.
TX congressman Gene Wu says the new Democrat majority in Texas wants Elon Musk investigated and prosecuted: "The word is PROSECUTE." "Every single sacred rule we have, he has found some way to break it or bend it. And we're tired of it." "Everywhere that Elon Musk goes in Texas, whether it's SpaceX, whether it's X AI, whatever it is, there is controversy and illegality that follows it everywhere." What illegality? Of course Wu doesn't say. That's because the 'crime' Elon committed is funding Republican campaigns in Texas. That's what they believe deserves punishment.

Post-election update: Antifa and DSA adjacent militants are planning a ‘boycott bike ride’ targeting Jewish businesses in Philadelphia on the eve of Kristallnacht. Because why wouldn’t they? Our blue cities and colleges have become a mirror image of 1930s Germany and Democrats have paid zero political price for it. By most measures almost 75% of Jews still voted for them. We can look forward to a lot more of this. Enjoy your new party guys!
This ‘Boycott Ride’ in Philadelphia is the Left’s pro-Hamas, Jew-hating, BDS assholes-on-wheels. Every Democrat of conscience should condemn this sick parade of rank antisemitism. I’m glad to see the steps @PhillyMayor is taking to ensure the safety of the Jewish community.

Oy, vey. It’s not my fault he never heard of Joe Zanussi. Joe might have been a better player if he hadn’t been slashed atop his hand. All those tiny bones there were badly injured, but it all worked out on June 14, 1994 when they won the Cup, and thereby “Put it in the Books!” BINGO!!!!

UFO had some of the best visual effects, models, costumes, sets and props, of any sci-fi show. The designs have inspired so many other artists. Long before The X-Files, it treated aliens as real. Plus the music by Barry Gray is the coolest!

I voted, but I didn’t take a selfie with the sticker. So you will all just have to take my word for it.

Absolutely insane video. I suppose if your entire ideological outlook is predicated upon the fantasy that ‘words are violence’, you are disproportionately likely to engage in violence in response to words.
🚨🚨 JUST NOW: Deranged Abdul Supporter tackled a Jewish girl (@basedinmalibu) at free speech event. She was SWIFTLY arrested, resisted and then said “I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER!!” As she was loaded into the police vehicle.
