Mamdani’s platform includes horrifying things like “cracking down on bad landlords” “affordable housing” and “baby baskets for newborns.” Absolutely terrifying. Super glad there’s a Taminy hall level corrupt serial sexual harasser running to protect New Yorkers from this scary agenda.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

Please tell me that you all realize that donald has long known the average news cycle, for crisis events, is 1 week before the media/ public moves on - and then he doubles that. You realize that’s where “in 2 weeks” comes from, right?

Torres: Trump aspires not only to be an authoritarian, but a totalitarian. What he seeks is control—not just over the economy, but over civil society. He wants not only federal agencies, but every civic institution to be within his orbit of totalitarian control.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Every leader—Dem or GOP—should follow Malcolm Kenyatta’s lead and *rage* against Trump’s gestapo tactics. That includes the assault on Mayor Ras Baraka *and* the kidnapping of our immigrant neighbors. This isn’t law—it’s fascism. Silence is complicity. Speak up or step aside. #OnYourSide

Donald has never liked the WORK of being president. He's too lazy for that and lacks the attention and ability to read. Instead, he likes the pomp, flattery and opportunities to use the office to make money. In other words, he is useless to the American people, other than trolling for the MAGA half.

No American has ever experienced a presidency like this one - a president who doesn’t know, care about, or follow our laws and founding documents. A president fully for sale, with no policy interests whatsoever, who appoints the worst people in the country to every single position.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
