This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.
Nero would be proud.

Actually, we’ve rallied around him as far as I’ve seen, because we understand what harm reduction is. Even tho he refused to endorse Kamala and helped boost the uncommitted movement that got us here.

There is zero reason why anyone in this country should go hungry. Anyone who needs food, or wants food should get food; no questions asked.

I mean, I think that blue no matter who should be accompanied with a concerted effort to move the Democrats left during the primaries. And there is a point at which a candidate is too Republican to vote for.

You named three people out of a party of thousands.
Did Mamdani endorse any of them during his term as an Assemblyman? He demonstrably didn’t endorse Harris.

i'm not sure we know yet how that'll break down, tbh, but I do expect a decent chunk of Cuomo primary voters to vote Mamdani in the GE.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.
