In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

New York is New York, but wow: The win by Zohran Mamdani says voters are done with the same tired old thing.

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

All those Dems who endorsed Cuomo now need to quickly endorse Mamdani. Gillibrand, Clinton, Ritchie Torres, everyone else - you're not going to back away from the general election just because your guy lost the primary right? Let's see that commitment of support ASAP. Thanks!

Democrats, learn from Zohran and AOC on how to win over the masses. Look at the messaging. Look at the issues. Look at how they communicate.

Zohran FTW!! 🙌

Sums it up pretty well.

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

Your country needs you to fight back—now more than ever. And you can do it by telling 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 story here: ofthebrave.org Follow us at @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social.

PALLONE: With regard to vaccines, are you just afraid to receive public comments on proposals? There's been no public process RFK JR: We have a public process for regulating vaccines. It's called the ACIP committee. PALLONE: You fired the committee!

From the White House to the DOJ—corruption’s new headquarters.Cover-ups don’t age well, especially when they come from the nation’s top legal body.

BREAKING: Whistleblower discloses Emil Bove, a Trump judicial nominee, voiced intent to violate court orders to fulfill Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

Like we said yesterday: speak out and you’re fired. The Trump administration has made it clear, if you report wrongdoing, you’ll be fired. A senior Justice Department official, Emil Bove III, told staff he was willing to ignore court orders to push Trump’s deportation agenda.

Emil Bove has no respect for the rule of law and court orders. He does not belong on the federal bench.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

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.

A former Israeli Defense Forces intelligence officer claims Iran's retaliatory attack on a U.S. base in Qatar was carried out with full knowledge of the Trump administration. Barak Ravid said, "The Iranians coordinated this attack with the Qataris and with the knowledge of the Trump administration."

Jon Finer, one of the negotiators of the JCPoA: "To people who say, how can you trust Iran? You didn't have to trust Iran under [the JCPoA]. There were weapons inspectors... all over Iran's facilities, and they were saying right up until the minute that Trump pulled out that Iran was complying."

By bombing a middle eastern country for no reason, Trump cements his legacy as a traditional Republican. by David Brooks

We're getting very close to an *actual* WAR IS PEACE Fox news banner.

Exclusive: A new analysis from the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates that the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade—issued 3 years ago tomorrow—is costing the nation more than $133 billion annually. First reported by me for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Vote Zohran for mayor! And do NOT rank Cuomo! #NoCuomo #YesWeZohran

I love the 70s inspired vibe of the background music! Like a high stakes chase scene or opening credits to a Bruce Lee movie

ICE could run out of money by next month as Trump demands Democratic cities be targeted for mass deportation raids.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

SCOOP: Andrew Tate's 'The Real World' had its streams hijacked early this month to play videos like Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" and Subway Surfers. the hijacker, who participated in another hack of TRW in November, called the site "hilariously insecure."

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Apparently, f—k the First Amendment in Tennessee. Tennessee’s latest round of absurd book bans, including “The Complete Book of Dogs,” and why Republicans are trying to whitewash our children’s education: youtu.be/kyGA3G9raJI?...

A few weeks ago, I had the honor to meet with Rev. Dr. Demetrius S. Carolina, Sr, Pastor of First Baptist Central Church on Staten Island. I was even more honored when he invited me back to address the congregation on Sunday.

I really wonder whether Stephen Miller's working the judges has finally broken them down.

HOW TO STAND UP TO TRUMP (NYC Mayor Primary Edition) RIGHT: Zohran Mamdani “Donald Trump’s… unconstitutional military action represents a dark new chapter in his endless betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos.” WRONG: Andrew Cuomo “I think the world is a safer place.”

NEW VIDEO: A key provision of the GOP’s budget bill that sought to limit judicial power is dead under Senate rules following a challenge from Democrats. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJYC...

what better example of what a difference the NYC mayor can make than the fact that New Yorkers are being subjected to the torture of solitary confinement right now bc Eric Adams has decided to issue ordinances saying Rikers should disobey city law?? boltsmag.org/new-york-rik...

ICE needs to be shut down. It has become a masked violent thug agency committing heinous actions on behalf of a corrupt administration grifting away in the White House. The agency was not created for this purpose. It should be shut down.

Austria is showing the world what action looks like. It took leaders just two weeks after a horrific school shooting to make steps to prevent tragedies and save lives. How many more school shootings will it take for America to change our deadly status quo?

The US Supreme Court rules that there is no law and there is no constitution

ICYMI: Michigan Republicans took control of the state House and launched a committee focused on election fraud claims. They are targeting Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and pushing conspiracies to cast doubt on the 2026 election. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/mic...

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.
