America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

🧵1/ #ElonMusk and his #DOGE script kiddies accessed NLRB systems, triggering alarms as data exports spiked. This data includes HIGHLY sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases, corporate secrets. Labor law experts stress this info never should’ve left the #NLRB. #DataBreach #Espionage
Elon Musk, dressed in a black suit, stands at a podium with the Seal of the President of the United States, raising his right arm in a Nazi salute. The background features a blue wall with rows of white stars. His facial expression is intense, and his posture dynamic, as if emphasizing a point.

Under Cuomo, rents rose 52% and housing prices soared 77%. Cuomo’s response? New Yorkers should “like it.” NYC’s housing shortage is Cuomo’s failed legacy — not an accomplishment. It’s time for a new generation of leadership.

You might ask: how is it possible that Republicans are just rolling over and accepting this? The answer is that they're terrified of crossing Elon Musk. They think he can kill them in primaries and protect them in general elections. Beat Brad Schimel in Wisconsin on 4/1, and that starts changing.

When Brad Schimel sued Planned Parenthood, he boasted it was an “honor” to have the case named for him: “Planned Parenthood v. Brad Schimel.” You know who served as Planned Parenthood’s lawyer in that case? Susan Crawford. Now Crawford and Schimel are the two candidates for WI’s Supreme Court.

1) You do not represent Donald Trump—you represent the United States of America. This statement is fundamentally anti-American. 2) Not only is this statement absurd and wrong, but it’s also grammatically incorrect. Trumps’?!

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
