In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

Janet Mills is now in the Maine Senate race.

I will NOT be supporting her in the primary

I am offended that a 77 years old thinks that’s a good idea.

I also have no patience for anyone who takes money from AIPAC.

It’s time for new blood.

Graham Platner is electrifying the people of Maine.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians.

Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.”

It’s a perception game and narrative control.

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.

"To the extent Trump has the power to federalize troops, it stems from a law Congress passed. In other words, Congress could, were it not currently controlled by sniveling sycophants, just pass a new law that took away that power. So, by its very nature, that’s not a plenary power."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

Well, Mike Johnson is instrument of oppression, racism, misogyny, suffering, death, authoritarianism, and pedophiles – and he enjoys it.

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.
