What’s the US’s “fourth” city? New York, New Orleans, and New Braunfels are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Newark, Newport News, or Miami but I might be missing one.

NEW NYC Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber has resigned. She was the first DOI commissioner in NYC history whose investigation with the FBI led to the indictment of the mayor who appointed her - Eric Adams. Story to come.

I ain't easy, having cheerful dialogue across the tribal divide. Believe me, I know. Gail and Bret really were the masters. We need more of this, not less. All Good Things Come to an End. What About Bad Things? nytimes.com/2025/04/28/opini…

Porn is not a superfood; it’s closer to a carcinogen. If you do consume it, do so in small amounts and fast from it regularly.

The memoir of Fred Trump III, former President Trump’s nephew, debuts at #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list. Fred Trump III, whose memoir is entitled, “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way,” got a lot of attention over the past week due to some major TV bookings, a tweet slamming him by his cousin Eric Trump, and a tweet supporting him by his sister Mary Trump. Remaining at #1 on the NYT Bestseller’s list, “Hillbilly Elegy”

Fall 2022 I asked him if they quote it and he said, “Oh, all the time,” and then pulled up the original video on his iPhone, informing my @GeorgetownLaw class that he owns the IP to the meme 🤴
He’s been waiting 4 years for someone to ask him an icebreaker so he could drop this

Doug Jones winning Alabama is rightly regarded as one of the best electoral feats of this generation. A reminder that Manchin's wins-above-replacement score is somehow 2x that of Doug Jones. Just incredible.
Sorry but Joe Machin will retire with the highest WAR of any member of the Dem caucus and it's really not close.
