With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."

But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

Important reminder that no trend is predetermined to continue either way

Dems made gains this year with diverse voters

Doesn’t mean it’s going to continue

But also doesn’t mean GOP 2024 gains will continue either

Every election is unique

The shutdown is fun for Trump because he gets to throw lavish Gatsby-themed parties for his millionaire friends AND invent new and innovative ways to hurt poor people.

Trump Voters Are Souring on MAGA. The Polls Ain't Looking Good!

Latinos who went for Trump reflect a majority that is now openly rejecting the MAGA agenda, paving the way for Democrats to finally abandon the broligarchy & embrace economic populism

Policymakers are stuck in a 1960s view of economic hardship, where poverty (and program eligibility) comes from lack of employment. We have 70 years of evidence: bad jobs with unpredictable schedules and variable earnings are a larger source of hardship.

The Tyranny of the Low-Quality Job
For decades, a job has been seen as the key to escaping poverty. A major new study turns the question on its head: What if hardship is the result of employment, as opposed to the absence of it?

Trump's supporters say we call his policies "racist" too casually.

But let me tell the story of a new policy - about to be unveiled - that is racist on its face.

The president should not be able to transfer millions of taxpayer dollars into his personal bank account. No government officials should be able to steal from the public like that.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

A friend of mine was detained briefly by ICE yesterday.

While in custody he noticed the agents texting on group text labeled “Chiraq 2.0”

This is who we’re dealing with.
