As hilarious as this is, Trump is mentally gone. Yes, Mamdani is charismatic as hell and I hope he can continue to keep Trump pacified re:NY. But it’s just as likely that after a few hours on his phone or talking to Stephen Miller, Trump will be threatening to bomb NYC or something.

"It's a cycle of power and abuse where the rich white guys always come out on top, and the rest of us just come out with less power and more abuse."
This is worth a watch, if you can stomach it.

We need your help! But let me explain why:
A little torn on this one. Chi Ossé is exactly the kind person we need on the City Council as Mamdani works to enact his ambitious agenda.
That said, Chi could do a lot of good in the House as well. He's an actual activist and fighter, so I'm ready to support him if he's going for it.

NEW: Chi Ossé, an ally of Mamdani, has filed paperwork to challenge Jeffries from the left.

It is way, way past time for us to say ‘enough.’ We can live in a world where people are more than just playthings for the rich and powerful, if we’re willing to fight for it.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Just a thought: if you’re going to engage in conversation here, then do so honestly. Don’t reply to someone then immediately block them just so you get the last word. That’s extraordinarily cowardly.
Either have a conversation or don’t.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.

Today’s the day, NYC. It’s been a tough year, but we’ve worked hard for this. All the doors we’ve knocked, people we’ve called and talked to. It’s time to show the world we can still dream of better tomorrows together, as long as we commit to work and fight for those dreams. Vote!
A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.
It was a little different last week.

Our president just told a room full of military leaders that they are going to war against American cities, American citizens.
This is beyond an impeachable offense, this is treason against the country. Absolutely insane.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"
