part of the reason you boil your campaign down to a theme like "affordability" that you hammer with the same talking points over and over is that when you face an unexpected situation - "crackhead barney" ambushing you on a livestream - you can react without thinking about what you're going to say

The federal government could announce tomorrow that it will no longer recognize same-sex marriages and every single person in one would need to sue to enforce the recognition of their marriage. If you can't sue, it won't be recognized. No right is safe.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

The Supreme Court clearly believes that lower courts will act to block the birthright citizenship EO through other means (including class actions) in the next 30 days, and therefore feels like it's okay partially staying these injunctions. But man, they are playing with fire.

NEW: In the latest batch of Byrd Rule rulings, the Senate Parliamentarian has struck several significant immigration-related provisions. This includes a $1,000 mandatory fee to apply for asylum, which would have applied even to children and to people detained making $1/day.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

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?

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.

So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

“Tonight, we made history … I will be your democratic nominee for mayor of New York City” - Zohran Mamdani

submitted 3 days ago • 94 comments

Strong night for left: —Mamdani will finish well ahead in 1st round. —All challenged NYC Progressive Caucus councilors will win, that's 10 of them. —Left may add new councilors (e.g. some AOC- or WFP-endorsed non-incumbents up) —The more liberal (WFP-endorsed) candidates up in Syracuse and Buffalo

submitted 3 days ago • 17 comments

The main lessons to me of Mamdani’s win: 1. Democratic voters really are fed up with their fossilized, incompetent establishment. 2. Housing is by far the number one issue, and if you want to beat that establishment, own the housing issue by pledging to make it easier to build housing of all kinds

Just to emphasize why this shouldn’t have gotten an A, banning dual citizenship is a fundamentally stupid idea because citizenship is not decided by the national but by the nation. Certain countries have no procedure to renounce citizenship, making it impossible NOT to be a dual citizen.
