Mamdani’s platform on transgender rights is stellar. I’m pleased to see him ahead in the polls today. A victory would be profoundly meaningful for where progressives move from here, in a time where monied interests are trying to urge a rightward movement in the Democratic Party.

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

Countless people in Iran will be irreparably traumatized, injured or killed by this war. NYers with loved ones in Iran will face immeasurable fear and pain. It is heartbreaking and infuriating. This is a reckless, violent abuse of power by the President. The people’s demand is clear: no more war.

I have sent a copy of ‘The Onion’ to every member of Congress. To spread its message to less powerful people, I have also taken out an ad in a lesser newspaper. Read my full letter here: theonion.com/why-im-sendi...

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

Every voter in Illinois’ Ninth deserves to see this and to be able to choose which candidate really has a pro-peace agenda: the person stoking the flames of a US-Iran war (Laura Fine) or the person who has been outspoken against these escalations from the start (Kat Abughazaleh).

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

Honestly my main memory about the Iraq war was that all the ridiculous scaremongering about it, Muslim militias taking over the local Walmart-type stuff, never ended and they just started saying immigrants were going to do it. So basically it’s just the same thing plus all-new dumb stuff.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.

This is quite literally risking a nuclear war. The US has to exert leverage to keep our allies in check, and every member of Congress should be appalled. I will always be an outspoken opponent of unjust war and in Congress would consistently vote against arming madmen like Netanyahu.

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
