🚨 Bruce Blakeman just shredded the "free stuff" pitch in New York. Young voters love the promise. He says don't trust Mamdani and Hochul. Before the election, free bus rides. After? A fare hike. Blakeman says Kathy Hochul approved 21 fare hikes on public transit. "There's no free ride in America. Got to work for what you get, earn what you get." His offer instead: cut taxes, cut utility bills, put more money in your pocket so you decide how to spend it. Not Kathy Hochul. Not Zohran Mamdani. Free is never free. New York is learning that the hard way.

Residential electricity bills across New York State have risen roughly 50% over the past five years, according to figures highlighted by the Times Union. The rising costs have become a major issue in the governor's race, putting renewed attention on Gov. Kathy Hochul as residents face growing pressure from utility bills and other everyday expenses.

Bill Maher: “[Zohran] Mamdani is the face of the Democrats on the East Coast, and Katie Porter is the face on the West Coast. I don’t think that’s great for that political party to be quite blunt.” Mark Cuban: “Kids don’t like capitalism, and I think a lot of it has to do with social media… Rage bait works better in social media and gets people’s attention. If Mamdani is out there saying you’re getting free housing. You’re getting free transportation. You’re getting cheaper groceries. I mean, of course, that’s what they particularly need in New York, and that’s what they’re going to respond positively to.” Bill Maher: “Is there anyway [socialism] can work?” Mark Cuban: “No, of course not.” Andrew Ross Sorkin: “No, no! We have a financial literacy problem in America.”

🚨🇧🇷 BRAZIL’S ELECTION NIGHT: THREE MINUTES BEFORE POLLS CLOSED, THE RULES CHANGED. Cristiano Zanin, Lula’s former personal lawyer and now a Supreme Court justice, ordered a nationwide two-hour extension of voting following a request from Lula’s campaign. THREE MINUTES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED CLOSING TIME. Some polling stations had already closed. The vote count was suspended. The court later clarified that only stations still open at 5 p.m. could continue voting. Meanwhile, prediction markets swung dramatically towards Lula as the election count progressed. And now the question practically asks itself: How does a presidential election reach its closing minutes before a former lawyer of one of the candidates makes such a consequential ruling? There may be legal explanations. There must also be public accountability. Brazilian voters deserve to know precisely how the decision was implemented, which polling stations were affected and whether every ballot was handled consistently. DEMOCRACY IS NOT A LAST-MINUTE PROCEDURAL EXPERIMENT. 🇧🇷 THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE DESERVE ANSWERS.

Bill Maher: “The DSA is not socialism, it is communism.” He's right. And that far-left extremism is coming to Los Angeles when Nithya Raman becomes mayor. If I'm not in office, no one will be there to push back. The governor's race is more important than it's EVER been!

Save New York by voting for Bruce Blakeman for governor.
The New York Post is calling for change in New York. My priorities are clear: lower costs, safer communities, and putting New Yorkers first. That's what I'll fight for as Governor. Vote early tomorrow! Vote affordable.

Bill Maher admits President Trump and Republicans are winning on pretty much every major issue. “Trump still winning.” “When they ask who has a better plan. Republicans crushing it on crime, immigration, wars, the economy, even corruption.” “Democrats win by two points on respect for democracy. Now, some of this is just because people are f—king stupid… Democrats win on healthcare, environment, women’s rights, respect for democracy. But on those issues — I bet you the big ones they vote on more crime, immigration, wars, economy, and corruptuion.” Michael Smerconish: “The only thing Democrats stand for is opposition to Donald Trump.”
