Zohran Mamdani appeared on Joy Reid's show to clarify that his proposed city-run grocery stores would offer a 30% discount on essential goods rather than being entirely free. There is conflicting information regarding whether ID cards would be required to access these discounts.

### British MPs Propose Mandatory Carbon Ration Cards

A group of British Members of Parliament, led by Conservative MP Tim Yeo, has proposed a scheme requiring every adult in Britain to carry a carbon ration card. The plan involves an annual carbon dioxide allowance that would be docked whenever a citizen pays for road fuel, flights, or energy bills. Critics argue the system is a scam designed to create a new investment market for carbon credits and serves as a backdoor for a national ID card system.
