What Mayor Mamdani is doing in New York City is exactly right. Americans are sick and tired of getting ripped off by being trapped into paying recurring charges. Congress must follow New York’s lead.

Pretty wild to be able to hike a 14er at 1) this time of year in almost summer conditions and 2) just a few short (5) months after breaking my back. Wind and temps were brutal but thankful for a great outing on Yale #cowx
