Y’all, here is the damndest thing. So, possessed kewpie doll and plastic surgery model, Don #Huffines, the #GuardiansofPedophiles candidate for #Comptroller of #Texas, well sir, it turns out that he secretly bought #Epstein ‘s #Lolita baby farm in New Mexico. I mean, he didn’t do it under his own name, the #EpsteinClass never does, but trusts have records, and journalists know where to look.

A Trump endorsed #GOP candidate bought the Pedo Ranch. Because of course he did.

Y’all, I’m thinking we don’t need red string to connect all these folks together. They’re just throwing it in our faces at this point.

Support independent journalism. #TexasTribune

Texas starts taxing seller fees on sites like eBay, Poshmark and Etsy

Small sellers say the new tax on fees cuts into already thin margins while the comptroller argues state law requires online marketplaces be taxed like any other data processor.

#NYC Mayor's #Primary Tightening Between Ugandan born #Socialist #Assemblyman Zohran #Mamdani & Disgraced Democrat Ex #Governor #Cuomo, who resigned top state office under cloud of sexual harassment claims despite decades of erstwhile establishment ego, ol' fashioned #NY #Nepotism aiding his image.

A former adviser to Mr. Cuomo, said that the biz elite favorite had run a “grim and joyless campaign” compared to upstart candidate endorsed by #WorkingFamilies Party, #AOC and #DJT enemy Letitia James. The night before #election day, Mamdami appeared on #CBS TV with Stephen Colbert and sent email to supporters noting “It is essential that we turn out in record numbers in order to turn the page on #AndrewCuomo, his billionaire donors, and the #politics of big money and small ideas”

#RankChoice voting makes predicting outcome harder than usual in the multi candidate mayoral race, but Mamdani has momentum since leaping double digits in polling over past month, while third place to likely to go to his ally and city #Comptroller Brad Lander, who was recently talk of town after being body slammed and arrested by #ICE.
