If the Senate budget bill passes, the 16 MILLION people who would lose their health insurance & the 179 MILLION people with health insurance whose health care costs will increase by $485/year won’t just “get over it.” This budget is cruel.

These are the people who have been killed by Trump and Musk's sudden execution of USAID. You damn well do not get to look away from this.

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

Correct. When Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018, he made it the policy of the United States that every country should have an active nuclear weapons program. Today he made it clear they need to develop functional nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Nothing else can prevent a U.S. attack.

Zohran Mamdani is standing up to the oligarchy and fighting to make one of America’s most expensive cities affordable for the working class. If you’re a New York City voter, I urge you to rank him #1 on your ballot by next Tuesday. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Oh me oh my, they wail. What have we done? Who could have ever predicted that making the office of the president a dictatorial position would ever have any ill effects?

Hugely important pushback against those people who said that Trump was going to get a boost from the LA unrest. No. The average member of the public seems to be able to distinguish between bad acts of individual rioters and the broader reasons for the unrest, which is Trump and ICE’s overreach.
