When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans. Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror. Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

These two things are true at the same time: 1. Republicans don't care about health care 2. They may still try to destroy Obamacare once and for all Remember, they've got a reconciliation bill next year, with no filibuster. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/republican...

On the one hand Trump is cruel, predatory and a dictator in the making. He believes he owns the country. On the other (no real contradiction), this is entirely plausible. This presidency is an erratic/predatory ID being run and directed by a small handful of toadies and degenerate policy hands.
