Interesting conversation with a NY Assemblyman tonight.

I asked about the likelihood of NY redistricting for 2028.

He indicated that the appetite for such a move might be influenced by the success of CA’s referendum.

So…a big Prop 50 win may very well act as a catalyst for other blue states.

Mockler: We saw this Nazi group chat which I’m sure you condemn right?

Kolvet: We can talk about it

Mockler: Do you condemn it?

Kolvet: I want to talk about it

Mockler: So, you’re like JD Vance? You won’t condemn this?

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

We must tax billionaires to break up the dangerous concentration of wealth that allows them to hold our democracy and economy hostage.

Sick of Government Shutdowns? Tax the Rich!

Until Congress addresses the fundamental power imbalance allowing billionaires to benefit from—and drive—government dysfunction, Americans will remain trapped in a game of shutdown chicken.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.
