Mamdani's Plan to Tax the Rich Just Got a Huge Supporter Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie endorsed Mamdani's platform to pay for universal child care and free buses by taxing wealthy New Yorkers.

Speaker Heastie recognizes what New Yorkers know: it’s not only popular but necessary to ask the wealthiest individuals and the most profitable corporations to pay a little more in taxes so we can deliver an agenda that lowers costs for working families.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

We liberals are America!

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Senate confirms 48 Trump nominees at once after GOP changed the chamber's rules Frustrated by the stalling tactics, Senate Republicans moved last week to make it easier to confirm large groups of lower-level, non-judicial nominations. Democrats had forced multiple votes on almost every one of Trump's picks, infuriating the presiden...

The Senate has confirmed 48 of President Donald Trump’s nominees at once, voting for the first time under new rules to begin clearing a backlog of executive branch positions that had been delayed by Democrats. https://to.pbs.org/4nFl11f

Former BLS Commissioner: The BLS is not a politicized place at all. I saw no evidence that the staff is doing any anything else except their highly professional job. I'm very familiar with the processes behind this report, and I saw no evidence whatsoever that the numbers were unexpected

Fox: Let's talk about today's jobs number. The more you drill down on ot, the uglier it gets. One thing that leaps out to me, 360,000 fewer full-time jobs. What gives?

Trump economic advisor: What was really important is that Trump got the One Big Beautiful Bill in place.

Fox: We expected to see job creation of 75,000 last month. Instead, just 22,000 jobs were added. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%. That is a 4 year high. Investors dug a bit deeper into the numbers and saw things they clearly did not like. The S&P down 31 points, NASDAQ down 52.

‘Not a Damned Penny.’ Texas Flood Survivors Look for Help

Dear Democrats, if you want to stand out in Texas, do what the state is not doing and help individuals in Kerrville

Let’s be clear.

Thinking about this today amid reports that federal datasets are disappearing on everything from disease to labor statistics to inflation.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

Alex Padilla, who was roughed up by Trump's goons while simply trying to ask a question at a public press conference, nails it 👇

Best image of the day:

Defying a ban, Long Islanders masked up for "No Kings" “If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can."

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers.
Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Sending the Marines to shut this down is 2025's Footloose remake.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Her stats line up with CDC data…

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Authoritarianism doesn't just happen overnight.

Alarm bells should be going off for every American when newspapers that are supposed to keep elected officials in check instead cave for fear of retribution, financial loss, or both.

5 years after the brutal murder of George Floyd police kill more people each year than ever before, even as violent crime has dropped.
Police brutality must be included in our democracy discussions.
