Asked why Chuck Schumer hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Ilhan Omar replies: "I really don't know — it makes no sense."

"In an election, we support our party's nominee. Schumer has pressured other Democrats to do just that, and he should be following his own advice."

We need someone who can stand up for New Jersey and deliver solutions, we need to elect Mikie Sherrill as our next governor.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I’m not sure who the system will be run by, but it should be run for the students, not the adults.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

OpenAI raised more money than anyone ever has to make AGI, and then declared mission accomplished for a psychosis inducing plagiarism machine.

It's troubling a firm raised $60m for geoengineering. $60m isn't that much, and it's not a success at creating scaleable technology. Be serious about this.

Good. Donald Trump should not be dictating what colleges teach.

And not a single university needs to cave to Trump's intimidation tactics. This is an important example for other institutions to follow.

There is power in standing up together against Trump's power grab.

White House hits roadblock in effort to get top colleges to agree to deal

Six of nine universities that were asked to sign an agreement in exchange for funding advantages have rejected the offer, two said they were open to more discussion

Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda.

This picture really sums up the last 9 months of the Trump presidency.

Because “to mislead a court with intent"" is a form of contempt of court, it’s telling that two Trump judges blocked the contempt hearing that would have exposed the facts.

Donald Trump is trying to fire nearly every federal worker who supports special needs education.

It’s kids with disabilities who will suffer.

The cruelty is the point.

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

If you thought your electric bill jumped a lot in this Trump administration, it’s because it did!

What you didn’t know is that they are jacking your electricity prices on purpose to reward big donors with big bucks.
