The dirty little secret is that they don't want to spend too much political capital on this horrific bill because they think it will pay off in the midterms. Same old failing bullshit strategy: "laying in the grass," "let them hang themselves," etc. No demonstration of urgency.

If NY Democrats want to make a statement against the cuts to Medicaid they could just pass the NY Health Act. That would be a boss move. “How do we pay for it?”, you ask??? ***whispers in socialist *** tax the rich.

Still nothing from Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL about Trump using an antisemitic slur. He's probably too busy hallucinating fake quotes from Zohran to be made about.

With the flooding in Texas and all of those precious little girls dying it's important to remember this was 100% preventable. Elon and Trump slashed the national weather service and massively reduced the number of weather balloons in the country, destroying our ability to

Name one member of Democrat leadership who's publicly criticized Trump's tripling of the ICE budget or one presidential contender who's vowed to cut ICE to pre-Trump levels if elected.

If the strategy of Dems running hard right on immigration was a surefire electoral winner, then Dems would have won last year because that's what they did. So many party elites and washed-up pundits want to pretend that Dems ran on "open borders" and not "militarize the border"

Will there be a political cost for establishment democrats railroading Zohran Mamdani? Or will they get away with it like they did with DSA mayoral primary winner Non-NYers 4 Zohran? "There was no political cost for [New York Democratic Primary chairman] Jay Jacobs having

This is so bonkers. Former Dem Governor says NYC Democrats need to "come together and decide to support whichever candidate has the most support among them." They did this! It was called a Democratic Primary! Zohran Kwame Mamdani won and it wasn't close!

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

Behind Zohran was the most voters in NYC primary history. These guys aren't just rejecting him, but the millions moved to electoral action by candidates like him. Maybe our big tent should have less millionaire nepo heirs & more fighters for the millions of working class people.

10 years ago I wasn't a socialist but I started paying attention to Bernie Sanders bc he had big rallies and interesting ideas. Now I'm a socialist State Senator. Zohran's victory will help inspire a new generation of leaders. 🌹

If you are in even the tiniest position of power to do anything about this and you try, you’ll never regret it even if it costs you personally and professionally. If you don’t you will live with the shame the rest of your life. This is one of those moments.

These devastating cuts affect almost every single route. If you are a RIPTA rider, PLEASE make a plan to attend a hearing and speak out.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…
