What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chainβ€”It’s corporate greed.

Nowβ€”California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

@dereklandy.bsky.social THANK YOU for the new Skully book. Our daughter passed them on to our youngest son. He's autistic and they're now a huge hyperfocus (the copies are SO knackered as he can't do the podcast). He's getting the new one for his birthday as a surprise and merch for Xmas (shh) :)

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states

AOC: And should be legal in more.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

BERNIE: β€œI worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

Instead of just being distracted, let’s mobilize! We need to expose their agenda and organize community actions. Ignoring it won’t make it go away! #blueresistance

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicalsΒ 

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing


If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions.

When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

13 Things To Avoid Ordering From Seafood Restaurants, According To Experts - Foodie You should think twice before ordering these items from seafood restaurants. We spoke to industry experts to learn about why you need to avoid them.

What would you avoid?

Agreed! There's just blanket opposition, even though everyone seems to understand *something* needs to change. It just can't affect them. It's economic nimbyism.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
