Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

My two takeaways on this:
1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.
2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

Libraries in Reform UK run Staffordshire are being forced to close.
They are refusing to hire much needed staff and refusing over time or paying for staff to be covered. This is resulting in libraries closing because of too few staff, despite there being available staff to cover.

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

NEW: in a hearing where a judge is asking the government why it’s defying her court order about deploying tear gas without warning in Chicago, the government argues ICE isn’t using body cams, and they can’t start using them because the government is shut down.
Skedzielewski also cites the shutdown and says "I don't believe that it will be possible, on a short timeline, to roll out a body cam program in the Chicago [area of responsibility] for ICE.
For CBP it "may be more workable."

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office.
