"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

No exaggeration - my dad had me sit down and watch Mario Cuomo's 1984 Democratic Convention keynote and it basically made me a Democrat then and there at the age of 8. I was electrified

His son is such a stain on his legacy - my Dad (RIP) would be thrilled at Mamdani's victory

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

Turning Point USA continues to carry on the sainted work of Charlie Kirk by singling out innocent high school teachers for death threats.

Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss denounced the federal agents.
”ICE agents have assaulted residents, beaten people up, grabbed them, abducted them, taking people off the street once again because of the color of their skin. It is an outrage. Our message for ICE is simple: Get the hell out of Evanston.”

Even worse, Amazon is a big contributor to the destruction of many neighborhoods & the loss of jobs as brick & mortar stores failed & demanded huge tax breaks to put a distribution center in an area.

Today, I went on CNN to inform people of the ways ICE is tormenting our communities with unwarranted violence and I will not let it stand.

Of course the market will be affected, and will likely shrink. But in a good way, probably. It will turn from a speculative mechanism, to a mechanism of raising funds from the public for actual capital investment. You know, as intended.

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

A running team from Chicago posted that Trump’s federal agents dragged a runner (67 years old) from his car, broke his ribs, and caused internal bleeding.

If Biden said that the dementia test was β€œvery hard” Jake Tapper would have personally come to your door to tell you about it

Also, at the risk of being obvious, the fact that Trump always confuses the dementia test is an IQ test is an indication that he is not doing great cognitively
