When the far right GOP calls every social safety net “socialism,” votes like this matter in a policy context.
My opponent Brad Schneider (D) voting with the GOP in favor of this resolution is showing his ultra-wealthy donors exactly who he's fighting for.
It’s not the people.

I think "elite panic" is a key term for understanding the 21st century.
In a catastrophe, the top priority for ordinary people is relieving suffering. The top priority for powerful people is asserting control.

The degree to which the Democratic Party is failing to meet this moment is staggering. And INFURIATING, when contrasted with the courage on display from ordinary people with far, far less power & protection.

As I said earlier today, whoever the next Dem President ends up being, they had best be vindictive as fuck.

House Dems love saying everything is a distraction but then they go along with right-wing messaging amendments that are the EPITOME of distractions.
Let alone an attack on Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani.
Just total failure of Leadership.
