Since this tweet, Republicans have continued to signal their desire to redraw Texas, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, and potentially New Hampshire. Sheer brilliance.
Respectfully… why? CA independent citizen redistricting (imperfect) is model for the nation. The legislature became Dem supermajority because voters moved left organically Reps resort to cheating to win We win by running clear platform for the working class & delivering
Mike Lawler made the decision not to run for Governor months ago. He came to terms with the fact that he can’t win a primary against Elise Stefanik (or Bruce Blakeman), to say nothing of the obvious fact that he would lose the general election.
BREAKING 🚨Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) has made a decision about whether or not to run for New York Governor. I will have an exclusive interview in the morning on News 12. Stay tuned… @News12 @RepMikeLawler @lawler4ny
Let’s go, Jessica! 🫶🏿
I’m running for State Senate bc the people of Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst & Jackson Heights deserve leadership that listens, builds trust & delivers for Queens. I am unwavering in my values & will never stop fighting for equity, dignity & justice. ➡️ bit.ly/jgr2026
Odds high they’re gonna trade leniency for a child sex trafficker in exchange for her false testimony exonerating Trump.
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
The Bidens sure do love to step on a good news cycle, huh?
Donald Trump’s refusal to release the Epstein files certainly looks like a cover-up. Weak-kneed Republicans in Congress are trying every excuse in the book to keep this information from coming out. They’re worried it will destroy their cult leader’s presidency.
Decentralization of land use authority is *the most significant driver* of NYC's affordable housing crisis. A strong state that can make clear, rational decisions with input from the community needs to eliminate hyperlocal governance veto points like this. This is how good…
The Charter Commission’s Final Report significantly weakens the City Council’s role in land use decisions. This shift toward executive control undermines democratic oversight and meaningful public engagement. I stand with my colleagues who are fighting back. Our statement below:
Going from Biden to Harris saved several Senate seats, prevented a sizable GOP House majority, stemmed the tide of a down-ballot disaster, and gave Democrats a fighting chance to win. Without the switch, it would have been a generational Republican landslide.
One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up…
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz) was stopped Capitol Hill police on his way into the Senate just now, asked for some ID, to which I believe Gallego responded "are you kidding me"
These three Democratic vacancies were all avoidable.
US House now 219R, 212D after Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) resignation last night. 4 vacancies: #VA11 (D/Connolly) - Sept. 9 special #AZ07 (D/Grijalva) - Sept. 23 #TX18 (D/Turner) - Nov. 4 all-party election (runoff TBD) #TN07 (R/Green) - probably Dec. 2 special
It's good to see that Hunter has taken some time to process the election, look inward, and hold himself accountable for how his family's insular, dare I say arrogant at times, approach to politics led to this catastrophic outcome we're all now living with.
Hunter Biden just went off on the Democratic Party: "Fuck him and everybody around him... George Clooney is not a fucking an actor. He's a brand." "James Carville hasn't won a race in 40 fucking years." "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack…
🗣️ “You don’t have enough of those guys on rosters…” The Knicks just added two key pieces that could change everything 👀: 🔸 Jordan Clarkson – a certified bucket getter when the shot clock is dying 🔸 Guerschon Yabusele – tough, skilled, and built for New York With Donte…
Tomorrow will be one year since she became the nominee. Thank her for preventing a landslide in the 107 days she had.
I bet she doesn’t lol.
I bet Hillary regrets calling Tulsi a Russian asset.
Where does Jill Stein go for three years between Presidential elections? Where does she live? Does she have a job?
Mamdani here does something I've been pleading with prominent Democrats to do for years: anticipate bad-faith right-wing attacks, and pre-empt them, draining them of most of their force. And he proves you don't have to be severe or scoldy about it.
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
Good. This was the whole point of replacing Thibs.
What will the Knicks' offense look like with Mike Brown at the helm?! 🤔 ESPN and Sacramento Kings play-by-play announcer Mark Jones thinks it will be more of a collective rather than ball dominance from Brunson and Towns! 👀
