This has been such a joyous campaign to observe. As a former NYC resident (of Astoria too), I really hope he does it!
Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.
As the wife of a Vietnam Vet I offer you my deepest sympathies.I know first hand the sacrifice & lifelong pain that service inflicted & continues to inflict on our precious veterans.Your uncle deserves all the honors that he bravely & so painfully earned.Bless him & your entire family🕊️
Just learned my uncle who passed away this weekend—Naval Academy grad, Vietnam vet helicopter pilot (a miracle he survived)—will not be getting full military honors at his funeral *because of the government shutdown.*

It's not the biggest thing, maybe, but it's another thing Trump needs to own.
GOP in Congress are a bunch of lazy freeloaders sitting on their plush sofas playing video games,posting ugly lies & dipping Fritos into their Caviar at Our Taxpayer expense!

Unlike other projects the Trump administration has canceled during the shutdown to punish Democratic-leaning places, disruption to SNAP will touch every corner of the country, including many communities that support the president.

Oh this was the video that (some) people on here were baselessly saying had to be AI because it was so insane. Anyway this is standard ICE operating procedure now: crash into your car, violently drag you through the street at gunpoint, & then have tricia mclaughlin lie that you were assaulting them
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Never underestimate the power of a delusional brain to spin its own numbers!Perhaps DT’s “ yes” folks are feeding him phony stats or he’s just lying through his spray tan!

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

The US is the purple line bottoming out. Our economy may still roar, but we’re killing ourselves. Hoarding wealth, refusing to even ensure our kids have enough to eat. That line is an indictment. It reflects our warped values.
This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"

My office captured several stills from today’s
@dhsgov.govmirrors.com video supporting Gregory Bovino. The imagery is deeply troubling; it evokes another era when masked government agents rounded up so-called “undesirables" (I’m sure that’s just a coincidence).
