Trump on Mamdani: "He should be very nice to me. He's off to a bad start. I think it's a very dangerous statement for him to make."

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.
Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

Donald Trump’s refusal to fund SNAP for over 5 million Californians that rely on CalFresh is leaving families without food to put on their table. It’s shameful.
Food banks are already facing a record number of new customers. I hope you’ll consider donating to a food bank to help meet the demand.

Everyone should know about what the Nazis did to the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin in 1933. History is repeating itself.

Speaker Johnson admits Trump & Republicans are forcing millions of kids to go hungry for political leverage. He says funding SNAP would "reduce the pressure" on Democrats. Disgusting.
BASH: Even Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider it?
JOHNSON: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire govt, Schumer & the radicals will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Q: “A pardoned 1/6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries.”
Mike Johnson: “Terrible.That’s the first I’ve heard of that. I don’t know anything about it.”
It’s remarkable how Trump & his goons manage to keep themselves in the dark when political violence is from their side.
