The boomers' eternal grip on US politics has warped people's sense of age and politics but Clinton was two years younger than Mamdani when he got elected as governor or Arkansas. Relatively young people used to get elected to this level of office all the time!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Privilege at its finest: "I wish we lived in a world where these sort of things were not useful things to do" but I won't change it or choose not to participate in it, in fact I'll spend $250,000 to keep the status quo going...

Honestly, this made me laugh out loud (maybe it was more of a horrified cynical rattle). Points for honesty!

the solidarity that lander showed with mamdani is exactly how france avoided the worst-case right wing disaster in its most recent parliamentary election. in that case, certain candidates actually dropped out of the race, knowing that splitting the vote would play for the far right

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Absolutely! We actually raise the MOST money from Bluesky than any other social media source. Bluesky outperforms YouTube, Threads, and our social media ads by about 2:1 per site. And I think a huge part of that is because it doesn't suppress links, moderates toxic content, and is transparent.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.
