Brilliant. Impressive. Dem leaders must learn from future NYC mayor. Several are equally as effective. Let's see more Mamdani, Newsome, Pete, AOC, Talarico, Pritzker, Murphy,, Crockett, Sanders, Warren, & less rah rah Schumer, & far too careful Jeffries. Embrace charismatic leaders. Please.

Mamdani knew exactly how Trump would respond to it. It was a brilliant move by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
He lined it up so well for Trump to praise himself, boost his own ego. Everything Mamdani said was factually correct. He didn't kiss the ring. But Trump gushed over Mamdani every chance he got

Yesterday was a weird day. Trump not only praised @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social but even defended him every chance he got. Mamdani got Trump to admit he's a fascist and the Faux News reporter couldn't do anything.
Ohh and MTG resigned

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

If @jackschlossberg.bsky.social is serious about #NY12, he shouldn't run a social media only campaign like Suraj Patel did in our district, but go out in person and press the flesh too like Zohran. Or how Nadler used to do.
Ours is a high expectations district. Social Media isn't enough.

My district #NY12 tends to have interesting primaries in recent cycles.
Now we have Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy grandson. And also, most likely, Andrew Cuomo, Kennedy son-in-law.
I don't expect either of them to get far in the primaries. This is one district that won't be swayed by "pedigree".

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.
They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.
Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov & @gbbranstetter.bsky.social if you cave on this obviously fake pinky promise from GOP that has shown absolutely zero regard for the American people then your age no better than them. Toy might as well openly kiss Trump's ass because you clearly don't care about New Yorkers!

The most frustrating thing about democrats is how quickly they are willing to give up instead of fight. @schumer.senate.gov is the weakest leader we have! He should resign as the minority leader and let someone with more courage take over
So after all of this, the Dems got a deal that is just a promise of a vote on ACA subsidies in December that isn't guaranteed to pass. Absolute chickenshit stuff from senate Democrats. They couldn't even get the thing they were asking for.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

We're low on sugar so I checked Amazon. It was $30 for 500 packets. I almost bought it but decided to check Costco. I was AMAZED at the price difference. The same thing was $11 at Costco. Even w/ shipping fee it was more than 50% cheaper. This is why Lina Khan brought the FTC lawsuit against Amazon
