26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.
Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.
That is how we win.

According to the co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, the IDF abducted his Palestinian collaborator after he was beaten by settlers.
Just thinking of all the people who went on the record objecting to this documentary as being critical of Israel.

Schumer’s decision to support this Trump-Musk bill has sent cheers through Republican circles.
Americans have been calling for an opposition who stands up to the chaos and cuts to veterans, students, and seniors. Democrats must be that party.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

This is illegal, and it endangers the rights of all Americans.
In this country, people must be free to express their views — left or right, popular or unpopular — without being detained or punished by the government.

this is an exonerative narrative they’ve spun to convince themselves to keep doing what they want to do and have been doing for as long as they’ve been in power, not an honest assessment of the party.
This is so profoundly strange from @slotkin.senate.gov. The Harris campaign ran one of the most aggressive outreach efforts to moderates, independents, and soft Republicans in recent memory!

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Dems talking themselves into validating Trump/Musk attacks on the Constitution by voting for Republicans' budget out of fear Dems will take the blame if a GOP trifecta fails to pass it, and guessing that this is what swing voters will have front of mind 20 months later, would be utterly pathetic.
If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way.
Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s.
Have you learned NOTHING?
Not. One. Vote.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

Haven’t we seen enough? Corrupt & compromised. This Mayor needs to be removed. It’s past time for Governor Hochul to step in here. And if she won’t, the city’s Committee on Mayoral Inability should. Enough is enough. New York deserve better & shouldn’t have to wait any longer.

Terrence Malick has long shunned the spotlight, but his work conveys the force of a mighty personality. A new biography offers a rare look at the director’s life and work—and illuminates his two-decade hiatus as a time of hidden art but art nonetheless.
