From Mission Impossible to Mister Mayor

If Zohran Mamdani governs as he campaigned, he will prove that the people have the power to shape their own future.

Somewhere the worst billionaire you know is writing a very long tweet thread about Israel and the mayoral election.

Zohran Mamdani campaigned a lot and appears not to hate the voters whose support he's seeking. Here's what other Democrats can learn from his unorthodox strategy.

58 billionaire spenders have spent over $18.4M in the NYC mayoral race to boost Cuomo and attack Zohran Mamdani.

Why are they so scared of Zohran?

Because they know he will end their unchecked power over working people and build a city that works for the working class.

I want to be the person I was this week a year ago.

Knocking on doors, talking to young voters, thinking we were about to beat Trump for good and make history. I was more exhausted than I’ve ever been before, but I was full of joy and hope.

I want that back.

It’s not an HGTV Home Makeover.

He unilaterally demolished The White House which he does not own and belongs to the citizens of the United States without any regulatory approval or permits. Any other person would have received a Stop Work Order at bare minimum.

It’s equally disqualifying if you’re too dumb to know it’s a Nazi symbol.

Years ago I got a skull and crossbones tattoo with my buddies in the Marines.

I was appalled to learn it closely resembled a Nazi symbol. I altered it yesterday, into something that isn't deeply offensive to my core beliefs.

Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans claimed to believe that the White House was such sacred space that getting a blow job in the Oval Office was grounds to remove a president from office.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.
