I receive $1500.00 from the government before my rent is paid. Rent is 582.00 a month on disability. Food is anywhere from 100-150 per week, phone bill is 50.00. Laundry is $30 per week. If I am unable to work one month, I will have 318.00 left to survive on. Raise disability rates now!

Agreed. It won’t be a massive margin by any means but still a win.

Well, not ten points ahead, but very likely 2 points ahead. Hopefully same swing.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

To Andrew Cuomo, and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov and @hillaryclinton.bsky.social and every other institutional Democrat who shit on Mamdani or refused to give him their unwavering support (vote blue no matter who, right?), I hope you’re eating crow today. I hope you reflect.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Betting markets still put the odds for Wilson at 70%.

And if the if the vote shifts a normal amount, she will win. This was always likely to be close. Keep calm and prepare to cure ballots if needed!

In Seattle, Bruce Harrell (incumbent) is leading with 53% of the vote over Katie Wilson for Mayor.

We really need all the good vibes please. We put everything on the line to get Katie elected. We need the late votes to break her way by 56% until Friday. She can do it. But good news is we kicked our city council president to the curb and elected Dionne Foster, ousted our CA and kept a council seat

Cuomo gave a fairly graceless concession speech, and Mamdani rips his skin off:

"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life. But let tonight be the last time I mention his name."
