When I was on Twitter I was Truth&Justice. Now I’m not so ambitious. Always optimistic, I pick myself up and tilt at windmills. By 2026 we take back Congress and Impeach.

Both parties look like they are deathly afraid of Mamdani in NYC. That means that he is, in fact, the best candidate by far.

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

BREAKING: George Santos has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.
@MrSantosNY

New York City, if you vote for this vile anti American creature you will see our city crumble to ruins. Several companies have announced they will leave and taking with them thousands of jobs. Chaos will ensue and our city will be taken over by an absolutely unhinged man who became a citizen in 2018 and does not share in our values. This man is a danger to society and a menace towards law enforcement.
I have spoken to several law enforcement leaders and they have grave concerns that the NYPD would suffer a massive exodus!
We are talking about an extremely dangerous situation that needs immediate attention!

I know that in the flip side of this is Cuomo whom we all hate, but one thing is for certain, we know how to deal with him.

It’s important to remember that the media/politics people who constantly tell you oligarchy isn’t the problem are all paid by oligarchs. In other words: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
