To all the gaslighters attacking Mamdani for something he didn't actually say: Elon Musk legit gave a Nazi salute, twice, and y'all said "let's not read into that."

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Call to Activism - Joe Gallina 🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen just EXPOSED Trump’s “no tax on tips” promise as a total FRAUD. The bill makes sure it EXPIRES in 3 years. But the tax cuts for billionaires PERMANENT. Trump conned MAGA and working Americans got screwed!

Rothkopf: "It was not just Mamdani being a younger candidate offering fresh perspectives that was a game-changer. The election was younger New Yorkers saying if you speak to us in our language, address the issues that matter to us and propose ideas that resonate with us, we will turn out."

A conservative, republican, evangelical Christian member of the military who is speaking out against the transgender ban, risking his retirement and maybe even his freedom. We should celebrate people with whom we disagree when they are so principled and courageous. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/o...

If Dems and their backers are not right now cutting ads featuring Tillis to be played in Maine, Alaska, Missouri, Louisiana, and elsewhere, it’s political malpractice.

That’s right. The billionaire bailout bill forces your tax dollars to pay for concentration camps and masked thugs to disappear your neighbors without due process. 16M people will be thrown off healthcare to pay for that, along with tax breaks for the rich.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people and two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid. Trump's advisers in the White House are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.
