Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

The important thing is that we can rebuild something fully new and better, which is why facing the severity of this moment can be a source of hope rather than paralysis.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Vought has blocked CFPB staff from doing their work, and is also charging CFPB $5 million for his bodyguards. So technically, they are protecting one consumer.

The full conversation
I urge you to spend some time listening to #JackSmith’s delineating his work as Special Counsel. It answers many questions. There’s a helpful transcript too

With his baseless attack on No Kings, Scott Bessent has demonstrated himself to be unfit to sign these documents.

Ron Johnson on the No Kings protest: "One of the things I hope Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are looking into is the funding of these groups. Who pays for the busses to bus a lot of these folks in?"

Autocrats use #DARVO manipulation that stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender, that perpetrators use to avoid responsibility for their actions by denying wrongdoing, attacking the accuser's credibility, and portraying themselves as the victim.

When I was young, the up/down forces thing was state and local didn't want to desegregate + allow equal access to voting, so fed forces came in and walked the Little Rock 9 in.
We need an Eisenhower of that moment again.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:
