WELKER: Does the administration have any evidence that the jobs numbers were rigged?

HASSETT: The evidence is that there have been a bunch of revisions

WELKER: But hard evidence?

HASSETT: The revisions are hard evidence


(They are not "hard evidence")

Someone needs to hear this: The government was created to serve the people; not to operate like a business profiting from us……. It’s meant to work for us, not exploit us. Read that again until it sinks in.

Congress taking an entire month off in a country where most people don’t get more than 2 weeks vacation is awesome

Though these numbers a true, the β€œreal feel” for the worker is less of a stagnating salary, but more like a sort of ever-present pay cut as inflation and productivity grows

Doooon’t care. This is a blip with regard to the kind of lying and media manipulation that Trump has been able to pull off. Put pressure on the source of authoritarianism, not the effect

With fascism in the White House and a lack of active opposition from Democrats, having 2026 and 2028 convos now will strengthen candidates later

The allegations against Cuomo that forced him to resign aren’t he-said, she-said.

They’re he-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she-said.

The NY AG found he sexually harassed 11 women. So he quit.

Omfg shut up. My parents live in that neighborhood, they voted for Mamdani and their view at night is filled with empty dark apartments owned as investments by those with properties elsewhere, these are not concerns of β€œresidents” they are issues for financial holding companies

Had Joe Biden tweeted "Pete Buttigieg killed it on MSNBC this morning" and Buttigieg wasn't even on, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson would've written a book about it. Normal stuff from Trump though.

I’m all for figuring out what Dems should run in 2028 - maybe that way we can decide early on NOT picking Josh Shapiro (or Gavin Newsom)

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

As President of the United States, I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York. Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I’ll save New York City, and make it β€œHot” and β€œGreat” again, just like I did with the Good Ol’ USA!

Per earliest unofficial ranked choice results, Zohran Mamdani wins Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor in Third Round of Ranked Choice voting with 56% of the vote.

the pivot from β€œwe’re not cutting medicaid” to β€œcome on look at these lazy bastards” sure was speedy

The question isn't whether or not Zohran can convince Albany to minority increase taxes on NYC's 1%.

The question is why aren't the 1% supportive enough of their community to pay their fair share?

πŸ”΄ NEW: Palestinian journalist Hanan Eqelan was killed along with her family in an Israeli strike on her home in Gaza City.

She is one of more than 100 Palestinians killed today in a wave of Israeli attacks across the Strip.

I hope the Dem donor/consultant class looks at Zohran as an opportunity to learn what an angry electorate is telling them, but I'm afraid they're just sharpening their knives right now. The establishment is the establishment for a reason and it doesn't give up power willingly. There's a fight coming

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

New Yorkers: today is a good time to contact your elected officials who failed to take a stance against Cuomo - like Schumer and Gillibrand - and explain to them why you voted for Zohran Mamdani and what it means about what you want the future of the Democratic party to look like.
