Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is playing chess and making really good moves.

Tapping former FTC chair Lina Khan for his transition team has put fear into Wall Street. They absolutely loathe her John Wick approach to antitrust cases.

She’s brilliant and unyielding.

Great pick!

Not a home, a prison!

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Quoting Barrett and Gorsuch, Katyal calls Trump's claimed power a "one-way ratchet" that no future president would relinquish.

"This is an open-ended power to junk the tariff laws."

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ

The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team

It is Veterans' Week.
Do you know who doesn't support Veterans?
Conservatives.
They gutted Veterans' services and closed offices.
PP was part of that government.
They danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
PP supports them.

Americans must retake our government from this madman

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

donald trump’s name didn’t appear anywhere on any ballots.

But that isn’t the reason why republicans were slaughtered.

They were slaughtered because the essence and stench of donald trump was smeared over every ballot cast #USDemocracy

Does he think anyone buys what he is selling?

Nazi scum

Armed federal immigration agents drive away with a toddler in the backseat Armed federal agents drive off with toddler in the back seat of car after arresting the child’s father, a U.S. citizen, who is accused of assault.

ICE detained a US citizen with a toddler in the backseat. ICE had to be bullied by the crowd to not do their usual MO and drive off with the man and just leave the car in the road. The crowd asked them to let the family come take the baby. Instead they drove off with the child

Disappointing that the budget is ignoring the climate crisis. We do so at our peril .

Judge Cannon Ordered to Get Moving on Jack Smith’s Trump Report The president’s favorite judge was called out by a panel of judges for slow-walking a case that would release the special counsel’s full report on Donald Trump.

Bit of news that didn't get enough attention yesterday.

My guess is this isn't over. The details of his crimes are coming out.

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.”

What are we doing?

💙

This is happening in Chicago’s northwest side. ICE literally invading a private business to grab a day care employee. Disgusting.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Horrid little man!

Too bad America didn’t care about the racism, the cruelty, the crimes when they elected Trump a year ago today. A lot of suffering and heartbreak would have been avoided.

Snapshot: What a Night for Democrats and Democracy Big wins in Virginia, New Jersey and New York send a clear message

“Donald Trump will deny that this was a referendum on him. But it was a referendum on him and his disgraceful regime that revels in cruelty and ignores the wants and needs of real people.”

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Love her!

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”
