After last night’s results, Republicans should understand that Trump is not their way forward & Dems have to decide if Mamdani is theirs. Forward candidates who won’t be bullied by either party is the answer. Visit forward.com to see what a party based on decency, diversity & democracy looks like.

Trump has been overseas for 15 of the shutdown days and then held a millionaire’s dinner at Mar-a-Lago when he returned, all while people were literally losing their food stamps as a result of his choice not to release reserve funds. (1/3)

The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation...(1/4)

The demolition of the White House's East wing not only destroys an historic building, but also ignores all proper procedures. Trump’s proclaiming that this is his house (it's not!) & he will do as he pleases. It’s the clearest warning yet of what to expect from this presidency.

Please, President Trump, give Ukraine the missiles it needs. Putin will never agree to peace. You’re being played for the fool, and people are losing their lives because of it. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Having attended the 1st No Kings, I can assure speaker Johnson that these protesters love America & want it to live up to its ideals. His baseless characterizations display his ignorance & that rhetoric will stoke responses that could easily get violent. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
