Are there people who still give money when James Carville spam texts them?

Chills seeing this. We are committing national suicide.

Red Envelopes With Cash Are Changing Hands at Adams Campaign Rallies

So, the @nytimes.com decided that the Mayor’s campaign trying to bribe reporters was not newsworthy. Uh, OK. Good thing @thecity.nyc was on it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...

The Democratic Party is not its leadership. It is its voters. And its voters overwhelmingly endorsed @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

I’m pretty sure Kennedy also bragged about the Kremlin’s approval.

I have five children and know how to milk a goat. Will need to get back to you on the other eight.

He has turned the most powerful nation in the history of the world into a client state.

Opinion | California Democrats Are Fighting Trump’s Battle for Him

“The majority of antisemitic violence in this country comes from the far right, not from student activists or faculty critics of Israeli policy. Fighting it requires building broad, multiracial coalitions against hate, not turning a tool of censorship into state law.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...

Chris Murphy goes all in on funding bill boycott as Dems seek bipartisanship The politically ambitious Connecticut Democrat is walking away from bipartisan government funding negotiations as his party clamors for a seat at the table.

This is too good!

Agree. I greatly admire Justice Sotomayor, but this is clearly wrong.

All of our reps are D!

So, not to put too fine a point on it, but 3 of the 4 mayoral candidates in a strongly Democratic city are aligned to some degree with Trump. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Trump fires BLS commissioner after weak jobs report The president implied that the BLS commissioner, longtime federal employee Erika McEntarfer, manipulated the data "for political purposes."

As always, Trump is at war with the truth. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Technically, everything is temporary.

Biden’s strong economy has mostly held up despite the tariffs, but eventually gravity will reassert itself.

Yep. His WSJ pieces asserts “I’m a liberal”, which is quite something for someone who is at a conservative think tank and writes articles like “Why Trump Was Right to Defund the Trevor Project”. “https://www.city-journal.org/article/trevor-project-suicide-prevention-lgbt-youth-trump

If I’m counting correctly, that’s every D or I from New England except @blumenthal.senate.gov. Do better, Senator Blumenthal.

We need new leadership in both Houses.

Veto Prompts Intra-Party Fury One sentence. Seventeen words.That's all Roland Lemar needed to express his outrage at Gov. Ned Lamont. …

“At the end of the day, he really is just the Governor of Greenwich and Associated Lands.” — @rolandlemar.bsky.social (D-New Haven) www.newhavenindependent.org/article/veto...

Texas Delivers On Housing Reforms, Connecticut Stumbles Texas just passed several laws that will make it easier to build housing in the Lonestar state. In Connecticut, a similar bundle of reforms was vetoed by the governor.

What an embarrassment. www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

Sorry if I missed something, but was there news on Summerhill explaining the big fall?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social gets it.

After vetoes on housing and labor, Lamont tries to make amends Gov. Ned Lamont has turned to repairing relationships frayed by his vetoes of priorities of Democrats and party legislative leaders.

Couldn’t be clearer: “I was very frank with him,” Hawthorne said in an interview Tuesday. “The state elected Democrats, and Democrats put two bills on his desk that would have made a difference to working people. And he sided with Republicans.” ctmirror.org/2025/06/24/l...

Back from trip, Gov. Ned Lamont 'skeptical' about CT housing bill as he weighs options Both sides have flooded the governor's office with input as Lamont has wavered on the proposal.

Governor Lamont can’t possibly believe this. If most towns were “taking the lead,” we wouldn’t need HB5002.

“My biggest concern is I want this led by the towns," Lamont said. "Most of the towns are doing the right thing and taking the lead."
