I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

9/? To be fair, my associate made sure to point out the kind neighbors who also joined the live to say how sorry they were. That said, I ask that you realize how unhinged these folks are and pray for those of us who are unambiguously other living among these people.

If you’re too scared to ride the subway you are not qualified to be mayor of New York City. Also if you sexually assault a bunch of people.

Just saw someone call the military occupation of DC a distraction, and that’s it, the it’s a distraction people have lost it. We should wait until the bulldozer is running over your house and all chime in with “isn’t there something else we should be talking about”

they’ve even plowed tens of billions into a man-stealing operation so vast and unaccountable that it makes the fugitive slave act look like a modest and responsible use of federal power

It's a day ending in "y" and republicans have done another evil thing. Today will be another day of idiotic ranting from people who refuse to acknowledge how we really got here, live in a fantasy land where 213 is greater than 220 and Obama refuses to wave his magical Black wand to fix things.

If this were a repeated line from congressional Democrats, there would be countless think pieces about why such rhetoric is alienating young men from the party.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Again, even if you dislike Mamdani's discussion of the phrase "globalize the intifada" (which he does not use), Jeffries' full answer below implies Mamdani DOESN'T do things HE REPEATEDLY DOES - i.e. acknowledge the rise in antisemitism and pledge to keep Jewish New Yorkers and all New Yorkers safe.
Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."

You want to know why Thompson, Tapper, et al. spend their days hassling Dems? Because Dems *care*. Dems react. Dems make them feel like they have agenda-setting power. Dems beg & scrape for their approval.
Republicans don't give a shit. Writing about GOP crimes doesn't bring the same ego boost.

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.
I talked to NPR about seeing DHS White House liaison Paul Ingrassia at a Nick Fuentes rally last year.

So according to Jake Tapper: aides discussed confining Joe Biden to a wheelchair, but Joe Biden also jogged and rode bicycles regularly for exercise? Is this supposed to make sense?
