BREAKING: US Intelligence suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites. www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

If Zohran Mamdani wins the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City, it will signal that the centrist Democratic establishment is finally in decline, writes @edgeofsports.bsky.social.

Mamdani: Tonight, we made history. In the words of Nelson Mandela, it almost seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.

Zohran Mamdani stunned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the New York City mayoral primary race to the 33-year-old state lawmaker. trib.al/KfNebEQ

🚨 Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say: CNN Exclusive 🔗 www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

Rep. Pallone: You have made a number of major decisions about vaccines. You say you want transparency, but there's been no public process for any of this RFK Jr.: We have a public process on vaccines, it's called the ACIP committee Rep. Pallone: You fired the committee

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...

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on: -free buses -rent freeze -halal cart for $8 instead of $10 -taxing the 1% -no cost childcare -city-owned grocery stores -a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response -building affordable housing -why Cuomo sucks

BREAKING: Emil Bove - whose judicial confirmation hearing is tomorrow - told lawyers to tell the courts to “fuck off” if they ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around - per whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

The Speaker of the House insisting that Congress doesn't and shouldn't have a say in use of military force abroad is a pathetically weak abdication of Constitutional duty. The Founders anticipated the possibility of a tyrant. But they didn't think Congress would eagerly forfeit its own power.

The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access. Why is this even a debate? www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-year...

It’s 100°, but I’m no stranger to swamp ass. Cast my first vote as a New Yorker for Zohran Mamdani!!

Stupid Donold is a total failure.

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

RFK JR: Another study shows the covid vaccine leads to an increase in miscarriage. There's no safety data for it, so we're not gonna recommend it. KELLY: Not true. We had a pediatrician that is on that committee. Not true.

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Zohran Mamdani: "My friends, we have done it."

“Why won’t Zohran Mamdani denounce a dangerous slogan?” asks a headline in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo isn’t asked to denounce a dangerous war criminal whose legal team he joined.

Trump canceled the briefing to Congress on the Iran bombings at the last minute and provided no explanation, but the leaked report saying the operation was not as successful as he claimed is definitely fake news because the two things can’t possibly be connected.

I love the smell of Andrew Cuomo losing ... any time of day, really

3.75 million children would have qualified!!😡 www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-g...

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

"Two days after America controversially joined Israel to attack Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, the core of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, Iran has openly defied Trump by insisting that it is ready to restart its enrichment plans." "Our program will not stop.” www.rawstory.com/iran-trump/

Timeline.. @effinbirds.com

OMG: The government in the Abrego case is actually arguing that the crappy, triple hearsay evidence THEY brought shouldn't be considered. AND they say that if he's freed, and ICE detains him, the DoJ will suffer injury. THEN DON'T DETAIN HIM. lol storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's a weird thing to root for America but against its president. That's what happens when you elect a traitor.

Make no mistake, Republicans are not just satisfied with taking our healthcare, they are also coming after the entire education system. #DontBombMedicaid

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 why we learn the rules…

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

June Conference Board Consumer Confidence missed, falling to 93.0 versus 99.8 expected and 98.0 in May. Both present situation and expectations fell. Labor market still deteriorating, that's more important for the actual trajectory of the economy than the vibes-based headline IMO.

Folks, it’s free. Learn. Please.

If you're going to have the gall to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance, you should have the guts to answer questions about it. Cindy Hyde Smith chickens out. 🐔 Make sure everyone sees this!

"Big Balls resigned!" Tom ejaculated.

I wonder how Iran finances its nuke program?

Shameful. I expect they will be sued.👇 "Nearly 100,000 North Carolina voters will be required to take an additional step to verify their identity or risk being disenfranchised under a plan approved by the GOP-controlled state board of elections Tuesday." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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?

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

Today is Day 74. Still waiting on those amazing deals.

20 more minutes for those in new york city to go out and rank zohran #1, lander #2 and not to rank cuomo

♌🇬🇧🇺🇸 🔥 Direct hit! A successful Ukrainian strike just hit a Russian military airfield – targeted, precise, and powerful. The footage speaks volumes: skill, courage, and the unwavering will to defend our land. 💥🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini.

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.
