Hegseth & The First Felon have gone too far (many times, but this takes the cake!) STOP it. They are embarrassing the entire country with this unrestrained, bullying, loser behavior.

He (DJT) wants to be the Mayor of New York City!
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

This is….something. Would have loved to have observed that meeting!
Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?

Mamdani: I've spoken about --

Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

Pay attention! Can he shut down the post office to prevent mailing voting? @robbonta.bsky.social - hope you’ve got people researching this!
We’ve been warning for months that President Donald Trump and the GOP are coming hard for mail voting — and this week saw a major development in the campaign. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

More good news for democracy from New York City!
It’s not about who you know, it’s about what you do. City Hall will soon be known as a source of support for New Yorkers — and an example of what our best and brightest can achieve.

“We love seeing the United States of America represented by our CA Governor and learning that he has declared to the oil companies and the world that President Trump’s plans for drilling oil off of our beautiful coast would be ‘dead on arrival.’”

Yet, he must do more…

New York was [mostly] quite happy when it was learned who would be its next Mayor.

Hope. Yes, hope.
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Yes! Such a creative campaign.

The First Felon’s “leadership” is costing so many lives, let alone screwing the economy, extinguishing our democratic principles and so much more. This is so SAD? 😭

Let’s bring this country back from the brink. The momentum is with us! The US Constitution experiment ought to continue. Yes, INCLUSION - DEI!

Obama: Better than Hakeem Jeffries’ comment this weekend.

President Obama knows of the prejudice and competition that Momdani has faced and will continue to face.
President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a "sounding board" into the future.

Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success beyond the election on Tuesday.

"Your campaign has been impressive to watch," Obama told Mamdani.

In an extended interview on 60 Minutes, DJT hinted how he plans to run in 2028:

“The 2020 election was rigged. A lot of people say when it’s rigged, you can do it again.”

⚠️ Don’t believe it when he says he’s not running again. (He lies!) We must repeat the facts: many Courts concluded he lost!

Rep. Joe Neguse is among my top 10 favorites in Congress. Watch & listen and you’ll see why. I learned who he is during one of the impeachments of Donald Trump in his first term as POTUS. People forget DJT was impeached: TWICE. Unfortunate the Senate wouldn’t vote in sufficient #s to remove him.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

This administration runs roughshod over rules, laws, and people ... then threatens anyone trying to do a decent turn for struggling people.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
