Andrew Cuomo is bought and paid for by the same Super PACs he once called "dangerous."

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life.

As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

And that wasn’t the only sellout. The establishment also:

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Sent $1B to private school vouchers (SB 2)
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Gave our beaches to Elon Musk (HB 5246)
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Banned THC to protect their donors (SB 3)

Texans deserve leaders who fight for us, not to protect billionaires and the status quo. #txlege

The 2025 #txlege session screwed over working Texans.

While 40% of Texas families can’t afford basics, the establishment used the first major vote on the House floor to advance HJR 4, handing Wall Street a forever tax break, written into our Constitution.

We’ve got work to do.

Our government only works when elected officials can serve the people without fear. My heart is with the families of Rep. Hortman and Sen. Hoffman. I stand with our Minnesota colleagues β€” choosing courage over hate, and doing the work to protect our democracy from extremism.

It was so inspiring to join thousands in Dallas this weekend to protest the fascist Trump regime at the #NoKings rally.

We march for our neighbors. Our comunidad. Our collective power. And together, we will bring down this fascist Trump regime with our voices and our votes.

2025 Infrastructure Report Card | ASCE's 2025 Infrastructure Report Card

This year the American Society of Civil Engineers put out a report card and for the first time since 1998, America had no D- categories in infrastructure. We finally spent four years investing in local communities, building new manufacturing, making our lives easier. No more, we have lost momentum.

You just have to laugh at how ridiculously bad an institution the NYTimes is. They’re working it for Cuomo, first with their political coverage and now with an editorial.

Anyway, F the NYT and let’s keep rocking for Mamdani and against Cuomo.

Yard signs delivered in my nabe, popping up all over:

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations πŸ’™πŸ™

Majority Of Voters Oppose GOP Budget Bill, With Just 67% Of Republicans In Support, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Trump Job Approval: 38%, His Handling Of Russia - Ukraine War Lowes...

The most important number in this poll is: a third of Americans have heard almost nothing about Trump’s bill that cuts Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Call your friends & family. Peacefully protest. March.

This is the billionaires versus everyone else β€” get the word out to everyone.

β€œHave heard from multiple sources that ICE is now going from park to park in Los Angeles, arresting caregivers - some who are legal residents - and separating them from the American children they’re caring for. Kids are being thrown into the back of a van until their parents are located.”

β€œHave heard from multiple sources that ICE is now going from park to park in Los Angeles, arresting caregivers - some who are legal residents - and separating them from the American children they’re caring for. Kids are being thrown into the back of a van until their parents are located.”

ICE is invading Los Angeles, snatching people wherever they go.

Stay safe.

The "delicate, beautiful, tiny" fascism of Kristi Noem The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it.

It's clear who gets to be β€œdelicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

Imagine getting paid an extra $200 a week. That's the union difference.

In 2024, full-time wage and salary union members had median usual weekly earnings of $1,337. Nonunion workers had median usual weekly earnings of $1,138.

Unionize.

This crosses every single line. He’s pouring gasoline on a fire and putting Angelinos in serious danger.

The Trump Administration needs withdraw the National Guard and ICE. Immediately.

Meme. Types of headaches. Migraine. Hypertension. Stress. If the minimum wage rose with productivity (like it did until 1968) it would be almost $26/hr now.

Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent'

Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent'

DOGE is so emblematic of this entire administration. A LOT of talk. A LOT of self-dealing. Zero due diligence. Zero follow through.

Trump and Elon literally only care about their own bottom lines. There is no connection between their actions and the every day experience of working people.

This is not law. This is not order. It is chaos.

The footage is disturbing. They threw a US Senator to the ground and handcuffed him for asking a question at a press conference. Fascism. Don’t look away.
