It is not just Jacobs who needs to be replaced, many county parties are controlled by people who are just Jacob clones at best.
Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Jeffries: "There's additional funds that are available to be reallocated so that not a single person in this country goes hungry. And if that happens beginning on November 1, it's because Donald Trump and Republicans want the American people to go hungry."

Make them swear in Adelita Grijalva who unlocks the 218th signature needed to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
feel like a shutdown cave to save SNAP, even if defensible since GOP leadership is not budging on any number of Dem demands, is gonna get a lot of senior Dems gored in primaries

SCOOP: more than a third of new recruits at the ICE training academy have failed the personal fitness test -- so many that the agency has had to start pre-screening new hires to weed out what one official called "athletically allergic candidates" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

All of the talk of "doxing ICE agents" should be a non-premise because law enforcement agents working for the government shouldn't have anonymity to begin with. "Steve Johnson from Duluth is a cop" should be a matter of public record. You're a government employee not fucking Banksy

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez warned Wednesday night that the nation’s health care system could collapse if Republicans don’t agree to their demands in a deal to end the federal government shutdown.

The new Superman movie had a better newspaper that most of us do now.
I'm calling for a total and complete shutdown on the use of "norms" in the press until we can figure out what's going on. And then the ban shall continue until hell freezes over. If he's making authoritarian moves, say it, don't cloak it in gentler, obfuscating rhetoric

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

“According to Strength in Numbers, the Disney boycott quickly became four times as large as any boycott over the last five years.

Disney's stock dipped about 3.5 percent and continued to trade lower in subsequent days — a loss in market value amounting to some $4 billion.”

The United States generally allows foreign officials to attend the United Nations General Assembly. The administration’s move comes amid a new push for Palestinian statehood.

The state of Florida came in overnight and painted over the Pulse Memorial site crosswalk in Orlando. This crosswalk abided by the state’s laws and was originally installed by them. To be clear, the state surreptitiously painted over this memorial at night against the city’s wishes. Cowards.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

With the exception of several decades after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, voter suppression is as American as apple pie.
Yes, we'll have elections. But here is what they will look like:

- Mass voter suppression in cities/blue states bc of DC-style (para)military deployment
- New registration purges/ID laws/mail/absentee ballot suppression in every GOP-controlled state
- Legal targeting of Dem candidates
