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

All the credit for this monumental upset goes to Zohran himself, for being a generational talent, and to all the NYC DSA chapters, who’ve been laying the groundwork by building a bench of electeds for nearly a decade. This didn’t start in 2025—this started in 2019 when Mamdani first ran for office.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

It continues to be a complete disgrace that the orange convicted felon is at the NATO summit in The Hague when he should be in prison for sedition as well as the fact that he has been trying to weaken and destroy the NATO alliance from the beginning. It’s disgusting.

Sen. Booker to Bove: There are complaints that pre-date your judicial nomination by years about you being so intoxicated with power and your supervisors were warned that you are a liability to the office. There are multiple reports of your abuse of power.

Another lie from tRump. HIs strikes on Iran did not "obliterate" their nuclear capability. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Since becoming a father, I’ve thought a lot about the privilege of choice. The ability to decide when, how, and with whom to start a family. That decision was ours to make, and it’s one that should belong to everyone. But for too many people in this country, it doesn’t.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

History will remember legacy media as the enablers are! They refused to call him out for lying even to this very day...

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

DEAN: Do you have any concerns about your conflicts of interest and the president's? BONDI: What I would be concerned about in Pennsylvania is all the child sex cases DEAN: Did you hear my question?

You know you’ve lost when you pretend to negotiate a ceasefire for a war that you instigated and wanted and then pretend to be angry that no one agrees to your fake ceasefire.

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

Zohran Mamdani has waged a surprisingly strong campaign for mayor of New York City. Can the movement he created overcome Andrew Cuomo’s power?

Another lie. 😡

TouchĂŠ.

🤔☮️💙✌🏼🌊

The potential return to power of Andrew Cuomo is a disgrace. Endorsements from the likes of Bloomberg, Clinton, and the NYT are a disgrace. Don't do it, NYC voters! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/n...

Mr & Mrs 2 Weaks 🤣💥

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Medicaid isn’t “welfare.” It’s chemo. It’s oxygen. It’s a child’s seizure meds. You kill Medicaid, you don’t just “cut spending.” You kill people. #DontKillOurMedicaid

💯👏👏

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, just endorsed Zohran Mamdani over Clinton's HUD Secretary—Andrew Cuomo.

Concerning…

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.
