In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Live shot of the 2026 election night map if Democrats embrace the Abundance strategy of telling Americans that price-gouging landlords and real estate investment tycoons are actually the good guys.

A newly formed nonprofit made endorsements in Durham’s municipal primary. But the group, which hasn’t disclosed its leadership, has ties to one endorsed candidate, raising questions about transparency and potential coordination.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide.

Hamas, a terrorist organization, began this war with its brutal attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people and took 250 hostages. Israel, as any other country, had a right to defend...

An image with four panels of a man on a bus who says to Zohran, “How do you navigate making it free and also not being seen as a socialist?”

“Well, I’m not really worried about that part.”

Last month, I sat down with @thenation.com to talk about the legacy of Fiorella La Guardia, how we're building a new kind of politics to meet this moment, and our mission to deliver a dignified life for the working people of this city.

New York's Democratic mayoral nominee shares his views on the city's affordability crisis, the new media landscape—and how Democrats need to stand up for what they believe.

For as long as I've known him, @natebakerdurham.bsky.social has preached the same policy agenda Zohran Mamdani has put a spotlight on in NYC.

Here for @indyweek.bsky.social, he makes the case for this Democratic Socialist agenda as the last best hope against fascism.

Rogue DNC @roguednc.bsky.social · Jul 1

The executive committee of North Carolina’s Democratic Party passed a resolution on June 28 calling for an end to military aid, weapons shipments and logistical support to Israel.

The resolution is similar to those passed in Wisconsin and Washington State Democratic Parties. The resolution passed by a slim margin, 161-151.

The State executive committee consists of hundreds of members from across North Carolina.

“The billions in annual tax payer funds provided to Israel as military aid would be better used to address the needs of Americans in the United States,” the resolution read.

This comes as Lara Trump is considering a run for Senate in the State after Sen.Tillis announced he would retire. Lara Trump would definitely be an ally for Israel and send our tax dollars to an apartheid State.
