They are now arresting elected leaders who are doing their jobs
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

President Biden gave Kerr County Texas 10.2 Million dollars in Federal Funds for a flood warning system. They rejected the money not wanting money from an administration they called Communist among other things.

Zohran Mamdani won because people are sick of:
1. Calculate-and-play-it-safe Democrats;
2. Christian Nationalism;
3. Republican xenophobia and their ICE Gestapo;
4. MAGA’s islamophobia; and
5. Politicians who talk about culture wars instead of the issues that affect ordinary people.

This lifelong Dem @68 years old is pleased as punch to see this shift. I wish the Dem establishment would take their heads out of the sand and see the good here. Status quo got us where we are.
“Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won.”
The result in New York City, if it holds, is a seismic event not just for the city but for the Democratic Party, making the 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani the clear frontrunner heading into November.

Irritating AND dumb.
Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.
