I first fought alongside Jerry Nadler when we took on a corrupt bankruptcy system that was rigged against working families. When New Yorkers needed a champion, Nadler always had their backs. He’s a man of principle, and I’m deeply grateful for his years of public service.

Anyone else quietly wondering if Giuliani's chauffeured Ford Bronco was white?
Avery Farman (@averyfarman.bsky.social) reply parent
So, the statement by the NH cops paints a slightly different picture, and a less misleading one. Basically, Giuliani was in a car driven by someone named Goodman - after calling the cops on a domestic disturbance, they got rear-ended by some kid and both Goodman & Giuliani were injured.
Avery Farman (@averyfarman.bsky.social) reply parent
Bingo. The first paragraph of that statement has absolutely nothing to do with the second paragraph of that statement, except as a self-serving bit of chaff meant to confuse. Apparently, Forbes is easy to confuse.
Avery Farman (@averyfarman.bsky.social) reply parent
This, exactly. And as that was the only "authorized statement" provided, apparently Forbes either flunked reading comprehension or they have a different statement from a different source.
Avery Farman (@averyfarman.bsky.social) reply parent
That's NOT what they said. Pretty clear that the second paragraph of the only authorized statement provided by Giuliani indicates that the crash occurred later. The first paragraph of that statement had nothing to do with the second paragraph, and the whole point of including it was... well, this.

NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.

I seem to remember that "taxation without representation" was a sticking point for us, early on... Illegal tariffs, applied arbitrarily & forced on us indirectly through importers as sales tax, without ANY representation; GOP-led Congress giving Trump autocratic power & ignoring "we the people."

Again, this is a GOP-led Congress essentially empowering a dictator. They've entirely abrogated their duties, undermined democracy, and lie about & avoid their own constituency to do so. The fastest way to get this to stop is to vote GOP members out of Congress. No majority? No dictator.

What "clash?" The Republican-led Congress is going to roll over because if the GOP believes anything, they believe that Trump is allowed to do whatever he wants even if it means violating their own oaths and abrogating their own duties.
