While insurance companies gorge on profits, millions are crushed by soaring premiums and a broken healthcare system.

A single-payer plan would slash costs, empower workers, and make healthcare a right—not a privilege.

People over profit—now! 💥

New Yorkers, if you elect Mamdani in a landslide there's a chance none of us ever has to hear from Cuomo ever again 🤞

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Matthew Lillard from the "Scream" screening at Hollywood Forever:

“Fuck ICE! In this time, in this city, we need to lead with love. Do not forget that shit in this moment. Not to be political, but to be political as shit. Second of all: vote Prop 50. And if you don’t like that, I’m so not sorry!”

Zohran Mamdani embodies the audacious dream of a city where ordinary folks' welfare trumps billionaire subsidies, like the $959 million handout Cuomo gifted to Musk's kin. #NYCMayor

The Supreme Court Enabled Revenge Prosecutions

Chief Justice John Roberts said sweeping immunity was necessary to avoid a president who would “prosecute his predecessors."

In the year since, rather than preventing the weaponization of prosecutions, the court has unleashed it.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles.

This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Report: ICE shot a US citizen trying to help kids

According to his lawyer, immigration officers shot Carlos Jimenez after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Once in a generation, a government makes a decision so humane, so quietly revolutionary, that it changes the moral temperature of the country. This week, New Mexico did exactly that declaring that child care, the backbone of every working family, will be free for everyone.

In U.S. first, New Mexico launches free child care for all

Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.

ICE is now using facial recognition software— including on American citizens — to detain people its app concludes are in the country illegally.

This, as Trump says ICE raids "haven't gone far enough."

Connect the dots: No one is safe from Trump's tyranny.

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world.

It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

Trump's tariffs are driving up the cost of everything, especially groceries.

But the President doesn't have a clue, maybe because he's too busy throwing obscene Gatsby-themed parties while he denies millions of families SNAP benefits.

O'DONNELL: The stock market doesn't affect everybody. Not everybody is invested in the stock market

TRUMP: It does
