A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)
It's so New York.

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Melissa Hortman helped pass a lot of legislation as Speaker of the MN House, but before she was in a leadership position, she was already a leader. I first became a fan of hers in 2017 when she stood up for her colleagues in the House.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
