We live in an episode of Veep

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

Zohran looking out on a victory night crowd.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

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.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

PETERS: How are you gonna ensure the safety of the public and officers if they continue to not follow required protocol to identify themselves as law enforcement? BONDI: That's the first that issue has come to me. You're saying law enforcement officers when they cover their faces? I do know they are being doxxed.

AG Pam Bondi just lied under oath.

Senator Peters points to our valid concerns that ICE Agents covering their faces & refusing to provide identification endangers both the public & the officers.

Bondi responds, “That's the first that issue has come to me”

MA’AM

A flagrant lie by Bondi under oath

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots…

📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer.

📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway.

There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients.

We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

Democratic power struggle fuels NYC mayor's race It's the first, difficult step on the road to redefining the Democratic Party.

Mamdani has ignited a younger generation of voters unlike any candidate the Democratic Party has seen in years with populist policies and charismatic messaging tailored to Gen Z and TikTok.

This is a Discourse jackpot.

Mitch McConnell has a net worth of up to $52 million, and has had high quality government-financed healthcare for decades.

Losing your healthcare, losing your loved ones, losing your life, isn’t something people should be told “get over it.”

Hey so it turns out mobilizing young voters is actually a path to victory.

Maybe Dem donors can learn a thing or two.

He made himself tolerable to left-leaning libs + mobilized disengaged voters + built a movement.

Both progressives and establishment Dems across the country should take notes. This is a new type of campaigning.

Zohran Mamdani just showed how the left wins.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

This Is Embarrassing And Disturbing…

Canada, Germany, England, Denmark, Netherlands, and France all have travel advisory warnings for visiting America.

Let that sink in.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Pope Leo XIV, Born in Chicago, Is the First American Pontiff

Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church today and took the name Pope Leo XIV, is the first pope from the United States.

A member of the Order of St. Augustine, he resembles the late Pope Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants.

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program?

No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾

The man who has never accepted responsibility, apologized, or admitted a mistake in his entire life isn’t about to start now.

Despite Trump's promised cuts, U.S. spent about $220 billion more in first 100 days than last year Despite President Trump's promise of cuts, the federal government has spent about $220 billion more in his first 100 days than the same time period last year.

Waste, fraud and abuse, my ass.

"...the government is now spending more, day to day, than was spent in nine of the last 10 years. The exception: 2021, when the government was spending tillions to fight the coronavirus pandemic and prevent an economic disaster."

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.

Yup…

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

Great news, folks!

After months of denying that they were going to cut Medicaid by $880 billion

Republicans have now quelled that rumor

By announcing they’re “only” going to cut $600 billion in benefits

So that way, you know, only 25,500 people will die instead of 34,000
