Zohran Mamdani Is Making History. When Will Top Democrats Catch On? Mamdani won a record-setting primary victory, and unions, grassroots Democratic groups, and savvy elected officials are rushing to back him. Now it’s the establishment’s turn.

Zohran Mamdani won NYC’s Dem mayoral primary with more total votes than any nominee in history.

He won the nod with a dramatically boosted vote from young people AND a diverse coalition that drew frustrated voters back to the Dems.

He’s not a problem for Dems.

He’s an answer to their problems.

Welcome to the resistance

Children Left Alone After Mothers Arrested in Immigration Raids "I just hope I get my mom back," says 15-year-old Juan Martinez, who is now caring for his brothers, ages 8 and 9.

FUCK!!!!!!!!

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car.

They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor.

Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is.

Senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social is correct. Senator @MarshaBlackburn is lying.

Never has cutting $1 Trillion from a program “strengthened” it. She thinks we are all
idiots.

People will lose coverage. Hospitals will close. All for a tax cut for herself and her donors.

@aoc.bsky.social had some important questions for the Secretary of Health and Human Services—yes,
Secretary Kennedy, MedPac has estimated that insurance companies like UnitedHealth Care are being overpaid by $80 Billion (with a B!) every year! It’s time to #ReclaimMedicare!

You Thought Medicare Was Safe? Think Again. Sequestration threatens more than $530 billion in cuts to the program over nine years. The results will be catastrophic.

Congress has an opportunity to cut overpayments to Medicare Advantage insurance corporations by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years. Instead, they are cutting $500 billion in Medicare payments to hospitals and over $1 trillion to medicaid patients. contrarian.substack.com/p/you-though...

Retired workers, and all people, deserve the highest quality healthcare, and Medicare Advantage isn’t it. But, unions are in a difficult position at the bargaining table, and negotiators don’t always have all the facts. Read this Op-ed about our recent webinar (youtu.be/tqq6d-jBc0s) to learn more:

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections.

Social Security Administration takes a step too far with deceptive email on megabill When Americans can no longer trust the information it receives from the Social Security Administration, there's a problem.

The Social Security Administration sent out a brazenly deceptive email to the public, undermining Americans' confidence in the agency.

Pritzker signs health care legislation Pritzker signs bills to regulate pharmacy benefit managers and expand insurance for mental health and rural care.

We're putting affordability for working families at the top of our agenda — that starts with lowering the cost of prescription drugs.

We're also putting a stop to PBMs gaming the system and offering direct support to small independent pharmacies.

I've known and admired J.B. Pritzker for years. He is a true warrior for democracy. I think you will enjoy watching this conversation as much as I did recording it. youtu.be/wwxFVHCTvAA

horrible. this is heart-breaking and infuriating.

Racial terror. It's horrifying. 😢

State Senator @jeffyarbro.bsky.social in Nashville:

He had “never heard” it as antisemitic lol ok 🤷🏼‍♂️

So now Trump will draw the ire of the media and field Q’s about his actual antisemitism for months, right?

The double standard is wild.

much more accurate description. thanks.

Exactly. NYT knowingly sanitized their description of this white supremacist, normalizing and amplyfying his disgusting views, while trying to divide voters. And Adams is right there on the bandwagon. Gross.

Sounds like they didn't do any research here either, just platformed a right wing racist.

💯%. NYT amplifying the work of a known white supremacist is appalling and yet standard practice. They deliberately normalize their source, describing him as "an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race." NYT legitimizes white supremacists. We aren't fooled.

LL COOL J drops out of Wawa Welcome America concert because of union strike LL COOL J said that he is not going to perform at Wawa Welcome America on July 4th in light of the AFSCME District Council 33 strike in Philadelphia.

LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike

“There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Regardless of your position on vaccination, it's not a good thing that some random haematologist is in charge of all vaccine policy in the US.

The GOP's Big Ugly Bill is a WAR ON THE POOR! They're taking away healthcare, food assistance, and dignity from those who need it most.

FDA vaccine official restricted COVID vaccine approvals against the advice of agency staff A top official at the Food and Drug Administration recently overruled government scientists on the availability of two COVID-19 vaccines

Vinay Prasad overrode the recommendations of a panel of scientists who said that 2025-2026 COVID19 vaccines should be recommended for everyone over the age of 12 years.

COVID19 remains a serious public health threat. He will get people killed. He doesn’t care. His ego wins, always.

Disgusting.

Ghoulish. All of them.

Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid.

Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.
