The Trump administration continues to weaponize the Department of Justice against its perceived enemies, this time targeting Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and several other protesters in Illinois.

Parts of Brooklyn, Queens + The Bronx are under a flash flood warning. Heavy rain and wind is creating dangerous conditions — please be careful as you move about the city.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

Stopped by a canvass in Bed-Stuy tonight. I’m truly in awe of the determination and joy our volunteers bring to this campaign, every single day.

the DHS socials are staffed by actual nazis designed to make posts that appeal to nazis, they want genuine believers in a white state. there is not a single ICE agent that “is just following orders”, they’re all buying into an intentionally fascistic project

doing this in the middle of the shutdown when you need those democrats to play ball... is a choice

Editorial: Una nueva elección, una nueva oportunidad para NYC - El Diario NY El Diario respalda la agenda de asequibilidad que ofrece el candidato a la Alcaldía, Zohran Mamdani.

El Diario lleva más de 100 años compartiendo las historias de la comunidad latina y luchando por su bienestar, y estoy muy orgulloso de contar con su apoyo.

“Mamdani representa una esperanza en medio de los tiempos oscuros que atravesamos. Necesitamos un cambio de guardia con renovados bríos.”

As someone who has been on SNAP benefits in the past, what will happen Nov. 1 is that people will start diverting other funds towards groceries. They will choose to feed their families over making credit card payments, paying medical bills, car payments, etc. This is going to affect a lot of things.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

The fact that Johnson won't call the House into session (now possibly not until next year) is about the Epstein Files, for sure.

But it's also about handing over complete control of this country to one man. It's about no checks and balances.

It's about Authoritarianism.
See what they are doing.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The Senate voted 50–46 tonight to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and yesterday it voted to block his tariffs on Brazil. Now we need the house to vote. Where’s the House? Is Johnson still guarding the Epstein files?

2 Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors" Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek and Capt. Dylan Blaha say they'll defy federal orders regarding Trump's immigration enforcement operation in Chicago.

National Guard members are speaking out against the Trump administration’s attempt to deploy troops to Chicago. Thank you! 💚

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

Stopped by @unitehere.org local 100 yesterday to rally with some of the workers who've been knocking on doors week after week across the five boroughs.

I'm very grateful to their leadership and members for the support!

oh just straight up gutter racism!

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

i love holding real news in my hands

Six days left and a whole lotta doors to knock.

Let's get it: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

Cuomo says he’ll move to Florida if Mamdani becomes mayor. Mamdani isn’t even mayor yet, and he’s already driving out the criminals!

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Cuomo Earned Almost $5 Million From Consulting in 2024, Returns Show

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.
