Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

There’s a legislative solution to the abduction of New Yorkers: we demand Albany stand up for immigrant New Yorkers and end all local police and state agencies from colluding with ICE to abduct our neighbors - we must pass New York For All now! #NY4All

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

If you need any evidence more evidence that Anti-Semitism is just a pretext for the red-hat crowd, there is nary a peep today from Trump after Gov Shapiro's house was literally set on fire during Passover.

But if you write a spicy op-ed in the campus paper, they WILL come for you!
Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA):

- Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover
- Doing a Sieg Hitler salute
- Eating dinner with neo-Nazis

Antisemitism (according to MAGA):

- Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity
- Using freedom of speech on campus

So Zelensky shows up with no tie and gets berated and escorted out by Trump & Co. for not showing enough "respect." Then Bukele shows up, also without a tie, and straight-up refuses a request from the US Government and Trump just laughs.

I don't really have the words...

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Congress created a new rental assistance program in 2021 and gave 70K vouchers to city/state agencies to distribute

NYC got by far the most in the US

Now the program is almost out of cash and 7,700 households could face eviction if NYC doesn’t come up with $175M

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

If Senate Democrats allow that GOP spending bill to go through, the vitriolic blowback from voters is going to be tsunami-level. Logically and morally, it would be absurd. But there is also nothing in any public polling that suggests they should cave. Nothing. Nobody's paying them to be cowards.
