Trump praised Zohran Mamdani as good for NYC before Chuck Schumer did. Think about that.

Just finished this book, I couldn’t put it down it’s that good. Some hard truths I wish more Americans were aware of, which is why I’m recommending it to everyone I know.

It’s not just Musk. The shadowy Silicon Valley figures pushing politics to the right In Gilded Rage the journalist Jacob Silverman investigates the tech entrepreneurs who are funding campaigns and driving policy across America and the world

I highly recommend Gilded Rage, a new book that’s disturbing but important www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

I just read Gilded Rage and your headline makes me want to vomit. Fuck that guy and his “banner year”

We need to support working-class kids before the 21st century abandons them completely.

Schumer needs to earn our trust by actually following through on his declarations. Until then, it’s impossible to take his promises seriously because they always turn up empty. SHOW us, don’t tell us, Chuck.

A father and his one-year-old daughter were pepper sprayed by US ICE agents in Chicago while on their way to go grocery shopping.

Thank you!!

Good!! We covered this story in August with a fantastic sketch at the end featuring Edi Patterson (Judy Gemstone) & Bobby Moynihan (SNL) ##chuckschumerhastogo

It’s nice to see other countries progress as we slide into the abyss.

I mean, what can we do here? Protest at their houses? Pull a Thunberg in front of the capitol? Genuinely curious

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

The 24 corporations funding Trump's ballroom have received $279 billion in government contracts in the past 5 years.

Most of them are facing federal enforcement actions.

These are not random donations.

It's a clear as day effort to kiss up to the Trump admin.

THIS! 1000%

For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Could not agree more. We need to fuel momentum, not stifle it. We’ll never beat Trumpism without figuring out a way to work together towards our common goal: get that fucker out of there before he destroys our country irreparably.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

What a king thing to do

“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love & support
She loved animals & she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her”

I’m a New Yorker with a disability who takes the subway every day and I can vouch for this. The Columbus Circle escalator has been out of service for 1.5 years. How is that acceptable? Thank you for speaking to this issue!

Why is CNN even giving this airtime. Who cares, he didn’t win. We know he is a ridiculous person. Keep the focus on the people and communities he’s harming. It’s only going to get worse and not enough people understand this.

Worth a read. Wow 🤯
