Every day, it becomes more clear that Kornberg's work at the Brennan Center on "money in politics" must have been on increasing the amount of money in politics.

It is time for every self-declared progressive in the race to endorse Zohran and urge supporters to rank him 2nd. Any candidate who doesn’t do so is supporting Cuomo.

"Abolish ICE" needs to be the moderate Democratic position going forward. The progressive position is, "Send everyone who works for ICE to the Hague."

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

These are one sentence apart. Words, what do they mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Jonathan Greenblatt is a fascist. Anyone who supports the ADL is a supporter of fascism.

Ramos is such a loser.

Jessica Ramos lied to our face in our endorsement process. I will be voting to rescind our endorsement.

75 days apart

I cannot grasp the mind that allows someone to say “This man assaulted women” and then, two months later, endorse him. Do you simply not have beliefs? Are your beliefs robotic restatements of what a majority of your friends are saying?

And here’s what she said weeks ago to me:

Ramos shows her true colors. She is the worst kind of politician—petty, amoral, pathetic, cynical, and selfish.

This says it all.

👏👏👏

Fire Thibs.

If Hanif wins big I'm hoping it shows that you can beat back candidates funded by Trump donors.

Let's get clear! @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is endorsed by: EVERY union who has made an endorsement (and the CLC). EVERY environmental, LGBTQ, women's, and progressive / resistance group who has made an endorsement. And dozens of electeds & leaders spanning the diversity of our district & city.

Thibs is supposed to be a defensive coach yet the Knicks suck defensively. Fire Thibs.

The Knicks winning was almost ruined by them showing Dan Goldman right at the end

Natasha Cloud for the win!!

Fire Thibs

Thread detailing just some of the evil big money supporting @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social. We got Uber, Big Real Estate, James Dolan, Trump-friendly billionaires. Supporting @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is absolutely necessary to fight back against all the moneyed interests.

Just got this mailer from anti-worker Uber's super PAC -- the latest corporate interest backing @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social Proud to be supporting the true progressive choice @shahanafrombk.bsky.social!

The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.

Shame that three Dems have already died. Who could’ve seen this coming.

With three House Democrats passing away since January, it's looking like being a Democratic House Rep. is by far the most deadly job in America, with an annualized estimate of 3689 deaths per 100,000. Logging is a distant second at 100.7 per 100,000

-Three of the 215 House Democrats have died this year, all from states that Trump won (TX/AZ) or have a Republican Governor (TX/VA). -Six House Democrats have died since April 2024. -The last eight House members to die in office have been Democrats, going back to 2022.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of my predecessor and mentor, @bradlander.bsky.social. Brad has been a tremendous guide to me—from my time working in his office to serving the district he represented with such dedication. I'm grateful for his continued support and partnership.

I don't know why anyone would take this at face value.

warren is right as usual and gillibrand is a paid stooge. she and schumer are a complete embarrassment to new york state

the DOJ is literally **arresting Democratic members of Congress** and Senate Democrats are voting to pass Republican legislation

Democrats are enabling fascism and corruption. This bill literally allows Trump to continue receiving anonymous crypto donations. And Democrats are voting for it. Disgusting.

Absolutely disgraceful by these dems

If Trump successfully installs his heinously corrupt henchman on the 3rd Circuit, it will be because SENATE DEMOCRATS refused to confirm Biden's nominee to this very seat—based on their own Islamophobia and credulous embrace of bigoted GOP smears. Just a total nightmare top to bottom.

KAT is getting whacked every time he touches the ball. These refs are terrible.

Dream duo

!!!!!!!

I'm a 56% match with Zohran Mamdani on the Meet Your Mayor quiz! Find your own match, powered by @thecity.nyc and @gothamist.com: projects.thecity.nyc/meet-your-ma...

The Mavs winning the lottery is disgusting. I will be believing every conspiracy theory.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

She’s back!

NOVA KNICKS BRUNSON, BRIDGES, HART, POPE LEO XIV

A Pope from Villanova?! Knicks in Four.

Shams, drop the new pope!

“we get a standalone vote on an amendment that will 100% fail so that we can pretend we tried” is maybe the single most infuriating “tactic” Dems use and exhibit A in why Schumer needs to go embarrassing and disqualifying

How is that a penalty

Bridges all over New York have improved since the start of congestion pricing.
