The NYC mayorโ€˜s election might be the first big election where Millennials and Gen Zers realize that their broad participation can literally dictate the outcome of elections.

That alone is everything. Itโ€™s the way democracy will be reborn.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, โ€œSwear her in.โ€ They wouldnโ€™t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system youโ€™re protecting really is.

โ€œThereโ€™s too many Americans on SNAP!โ€

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they donโ€™t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

Dodgers, do not go to the White House.

Fans, demand this.

Enjoy the moment, but we have to come together as a community to make this World Series victory a symbol of Los Angeles joy and resistance, not collaboration and betrayal.

I loved the description of daylight savings time attributed to a Native American elder: "only a White Man would think he can make his blanket longer by cutting a foot off one end and sewing it onto the other end".

โ€œThe GOPโ€™s greatest con has convinced Americans that what is holding them back economically is not the rich with their tax lawyers and loopholes; rather, itโ€™s the poor, who might buy junk food with food stamps. Itโ€™s not the people hoarding billions; itโ€™s the people sleeping on the sidewalks.โ€

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

Well, darn. It did sound like an unlikely amount to sue for, so I was a bit skeptical.

Sitting here thinking about the fact that come Tuesday, barring disaster, NYC is going to have a democratic socialist Muslim immigrant as mayor and Iโ€™m so glad Iโ€™m going to get to live to see it.
