I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

🚨BREAKING: The latest version of the Republican reconciliation bill does not include provision that would have required those suing the Trump administration to post a huge bond if they won an injunction. A BIG VICTORY for Senate Democrats, democracy and the rule of law.

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.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details. Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Today's decision previews a dystopian reality where a lawless President can dispense with the Constitution to deprive American children of their rights. And whether these kids have the right to defend themselves now depends on the state in which they live. That is un-American and wrong.

They’re just going to keep taking your rights away and pretend it’s all Constitutional and dare you to stop them.

“It’s Steam summer sale!” Also me:

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

More of this.

This video is of Zohran Mamdani confronting Tom Homan. This is a why he won. He fights backs. Democrats take note.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

NEW VIDEO: One of the most egregious abuses of power and attacks on the federal judiciary is taking place in Maryland and it is not getting the urgent attention it deserves. In a normal time this would be a national scandal. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrO...

This!

Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.

So it tuns out that the polls weren't just a little off...Cuomo was never anywhere NEAR this. Mamdani gives me hope in a way I haven't felt in years. He feels like the future. America, get ready for this guy to be photoshopped in a communist hat on MSNBC and represented as Voldemort on CNN.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

Zohran Mamdani says he would arrest Netanyahu if he visits New York City — if elected mayor. Stop stop, there’s only so much good news I can take 🫦

BREAKING: Trump’s economy: In just the first half of this year, U.S. job cuts surged to 700,000 — up 80% from last year. Meanwhile, unemployment among Gen Z is climbing: 7.2% for those with a master’s or higher 9.4% for those with some college experience.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Kamala was right about everything.

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

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

Breaking news: Former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo has conceded to progressive rival Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for New York City’s next mayor www.ft.com/content/e4b8...

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

if mamdani wins, the main lesson i am going to take from it is that charismatic and likable candidates can win elections. it’s not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s literally always been true.

Solstice

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

It's this simple: If you arrest people without charge, sentence them without due process, deport them from their own country and imprison them without chance of appeal or freedom, whhat you've really done is put them in a concentration camp and made them a slave.

My occasional reminder that we could be living in a more normal world. And Congress could stop this.

Iran has begun its retaliation, firing missiles at U.S. bases in both Qatar and Iraq. There are 10,000 American troops in Qatar, and thousands more deployed across Iraq. Praying for their safety.

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.

Puppy moment

We just had a political assassination in the United States last week. We CANNOT let this leave the news cycle and be forgotten.

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

Damn right!!!
