Can we get a “hell yeah!” for Zohran’s huge victory over Cuomo and the corrupt status quo? The DNC is on notice. We won’t take anymore of the same old BS. Progressives are in and “moderates” are out. It’s time to start providing a party in line with what the people want! #zohran #mamdani #nyc #dnc

Rep. Maxwell Frost asks that Kristi Noem be subpoenaed re today’s incident in which Senator Padilla was taken to the floor and handcuffed. Comer tells him to “shut up!” MTG slurs Frost as “antifa.” Frost demands her words be taken down. We have fascists “governing”

Happy birthday to the poetic master Bob Dylan. When I was a kid, my sister and I put on a concert of his music played on piano and kazoo for my mom’s birthday. It was terrible and she still talks about it as being one of her favorite birthday memories. I was raised on his words. He’s a legend. #hbd
