So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Oops.

Our campaign offers a glimpse of what city government can look like: energetic, focused, and always bringing people in.

On Tuesday, New Yorkers delivered a mandate for a Mayor who puts working people first and makes this city affordable for all.

Getting dragged away for asking questions continues. / This time in Miami-Dade🧵

Mask-off racism and fascism from Pinocchiogles — if a New York congressman tried to meddle with local Tennessee politics like this he would lose his hypocritical mind

Action Alert: The U.S. Senate could pass a budget bill this week that bans states from creating or enforcing A.I. protections. Call on your senators now to remove this dangerous provision from the budget bill, and to stop trying to weaken A.I. safety laws: (833) 770-1697.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights. It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Who else wonders what Epstein dirt Netanyhu has on Donald Trump? 🙋‍♀️

Second case is a big one. Medina v. Planned Parenthood. 6-3, usual partisan lines. Case was about whether citizens could sue South Carolina over its decision to kick PP off of Medicaid. Predictably, the Republicans say no. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Last case for today is Riley v. Bondi. It's about whether an immigrant subject to a deportation order can challenge that deportation. You can guess what the Repubicans say. 5-4 (ish), go fuck yourself www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court allowed South Carolina to remove Planned Parenthood clinics from its state Medicaid program, even though Medicaid funds cannot generally be used to fund abortions.

Understaffed nursing homes rely on an immigrant workforce. Cuts to Medicaid and a tough immigration policy amount to a double whammy for the long-term care industry.

After six months of aggressive immigration enforcement and promises to focus on deporting violent criminals, the Trump admin. has arrested and detained a small fraction of the undocumented immigrants already known having been convicted of sexual assault and homicide, internal ICE data shows.

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

And right there is one of the reasons we bombed Iran. Pretext to get Netanyahu off the hook for his crimes.

Where’s the warrant? Where are the gang members Trump said they were going to get? These men are bounty hunters. KIDNAPPERS! This is Santa Monica, California…

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

Purple Heart veteran shot in action self-deports after old drug charge resurfaces: ‘Can’t believe this is happening in America’

NEW: Read the whistleblower letter that proves Trump's DoJ intentionally defied court orders and lied to Judge Boasberg in the Alien Enemies Act Proclamation case. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-eviden...

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.

Powell says the Fed was prepared to keep cutting interest rates until Trump implementing tariffs that will increase inflation

America in 2025.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

BREAKING: Iran says it launched retaliatory attacks at U.S. military bases in the Middle East.

He’s just casually threatening Russia with nuclear submarines now…

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

LATEST: The US State Department issued a “Worldwide Caution” alert for American citizens, flagging the potential of travel disruptions and demonstrations following the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The Four Assholes of the Apocalypse

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

This is sick! Have you seen ICE’s TikTok page? Propaganda on steroids, targeting young dudes chasing a sense of power. Edited like war games, built to thrill while dehumanizing immigrants. RECRUITMENT VIDEOS—for state-sponsored vigilantism.

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.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

BREAKING: Federal appeals court blocks a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in all public school classrooms.

NEW: Trump calls for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election. The same guy who spent over a year arguing in court that special prosecutors were unconstitutional. apnews.com/article/trum...

Masked men who didn’t identify themselves, pulled up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his vehicle as he was leaving his job. They threw him into their unmarked vehicle! His boss is threatened with bodily harm by the armed men who will not identify themselves!

So “pro-life.”

🚨 STAGFLATION WARNING: The Fed now predicts a brutal mix for 2025: — Inflation UP to 3% — Growth DOWN to 1.4% — Unemployment UP to 4.5% They’re holding rates steady for now—but still expect 2 cuts this year.

The new “All-American” smartphone being sold by Trump’s family is reportedly manufactured in China. The just-launched Trump Mobile is selling a gold iPhone lookalike for $499, despite the device’s base model—albeit without the gilded trim or Trump branding—being available on Amazon for just $169.

Shorter Alito's concurrence: "The majority said the law doesn't discriminate against transgender status. I disagree. I think it does discriminate against transgender status and that's good." He's just completely given up on the game and is happy to tell everyone what the majority really believes.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

New York city comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested by masked ICE thugs at 26 Federal plaza for asking to see a warrant when they were detaining an immigrant appearing at their court hearing.
