The NY Post got hoaxed and reported that “thousands” of 9/11 families had signed a petition against Mamdani. After the hoax was exposed, they assigned a huge team of reporters to manufacture the fake story they already published and try to make it retroactively true.
The crack team of reporters is up to ten 9/11 families. Just 1,990 to go!
2. Then the Post assigned 10 REPORTERS to track down more 9/11 families who want Mamdani banned. They are now up to 10 people. The last I’ve checked, that’s not “thousands.”

Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

🗞️ NEW: Leaked audio recordings released through the “Hondurasgate”leaks project and reported by Diario Red allegedly expose a covert network involving former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, Trump-aligned Republicans, and allies of Argentine President Javier Milei discussing plans to fund a U.S.-based disinformation operation targeting the left-wing governments of Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras, according to a report by Spanish outlet El País.
🔹The recordings allegedly capture Hernández requesting funds from current Honduran officials to establish a U.S.-based digital media operation aimed at spreading anti-left narratives and destabilizing regional governments.
🔹In one alleged exchange, Hernández claims Milei pledged $350,000 in support and says “files” were being prepared against the governments of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
🔹Another recording, previously reported by Drop Site, allegedly shows Hernández claiming Israeli-linked donors and “a group of rabbis” helped finance his pardon by President Donald Trump after his U.S. narcotrafficking conviction.
🔹Hernández also allegedly claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a role in securing his release.

43% of Puerto Rico lives in poverty.
More than 5,000 crypto traders, real estate developers, and other rich Americans have moved to the island since 2012.
But these rich transplants pay just 3% taxes, while locals pay up to 36%.

Much-deserved recognition of @MorePerfectUS, which consistently produces serious investigative reporting and spotlights working class perspectives that too often don’t reach the halls of power.
An enormous public service, especially as traditional journalistic outlets get gutted and big money prioritizes punditry over real reporting.
"One of the fastest-growing left-wing pages on YouTube doesn’t look like other online political content... More Perfect Union has added more subscribers in the past 90 days than any other liberal or progressive political channel on YouTube and the third most overall..."

Ps: Puerto Ricans are United States citizens.
Puerto Rico is a United States territory.
People in Puerto Rico speak both English and Spanish.
Puerto Rico has its own flag.
Just as states across America have their own flag.

ICE set off an international incident in Minneapolis today because agents tried to go into the Consulate of Ecuador without permission, and then yelled at their staff for trying to keep them out.
Note that there is a huge “consulate of Ecuador” sign over the door.
