Mid-Atlantic momentum: Democrats win big in a pair of February 13th special elections
The voters of New York and Pennsylvania delivered Democrats two pre-Valentine’s Day wins on Tuesday, with both elections having national consequences.
The victories were built with a swing of suburban votes, in Long Island’s Nassau County and in the Philadelphia suburb of Bucks County.
Representative-elect Tom Suozzi flipped the congressional seat vacated when the House voted to expel indicted…

Apparently the GOP House repealed those parts of the Bible related to worshiping false gods. Move over, Baal!
A reminder for voters in NY-03. The special election to replace fabulist Republican George Santos is on Tuesday the 13th. Early voting takes place now through Sunday the 11th. Electing Democrat Tom Suozzi would reduce GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson's majority to a handful. Don't delay making sure that people you know in NY-03 make it to the polls. The district includes parts of eastern Queens in NYC and much of suburban Nassau County.

My next novel is The Bezzle, a high-tech ice-cold revenge thriller starring Marty Hench, a two-fisted forensic accountant, as he takes on the sleaziest scams of the first two decades of the 2000s, from hamburger-themed Ponzis to the unbelievably sleazy and evil prison-tech industry:

Captain Michael Dugan hangs an American flag from a light pole in front of what is left of the World Trade Center after it was destroyed during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
A hijacked American Airlines Boeing 767, originating from Boston’s Logan Airport, struck 1 World Trade Center (north tower) at 8:45 am. At 9:03 am, an United Airlines 767, also skyjacked, crashed into 2 World Trade Center (south tower). Both towers later collapsed.

Have you heard of "Albert" the 30+ year old crocodile that was seized by DEC from a guy in NY who owned him as a licensed pet until 2021? Ultimately the guy let his license expire but he also admitted to letting people, including kids, pet the crocodile because he's a docile, gentle pet. I wanted to know you're opinion on it lol.
Personally I just hope the crocodile is in better hands at the moment.
https://www.npr.org/2024/03/20/1239738593/pet-alligator-seized-albert-new-york
it was an alligator and it was being kept in a literal pool afaik, and it had SO MANY health issues. this dude was going to either have a dead gator or a bitten person on his hands sooner or later, I hope that Albert gets to a place with better care and actual animal husbandry.
