This elitist bullshit has to go. I’m so disappointed in my state.
I asked @shaheen.senate.gov a very simple question: why did you vote for it?
Her response was to ask what I've done to protect healthcare.
When I get elected, I'll show you how it's done.
We need universal healthcare and I'll do everything in my power to fight for it.

Wow. There’s that flash of entitlement and elitism we all know and love from these people who need to be removed from power.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The eight Democrats who sided with Republicans are part of the reason the Democratic Party is waning and why we don’t trust them. I want this shutdown to end too, but at what cost if we lose so much in the process, including the desecration of our Republic?

I am so proud, scared, and excited to announce that I’m publishing my first book! This is my first, and it certainly will not be my last. I cannot wait for this venture and for you all to meet my dear Eleanor.
Each copy is sold for $20 and you can message me if you’d like to purchase one.

The Boy Mayor in New York City
The city once trusted a 34-year-old reformer to rebuild itself. A century later, it’s doing it again.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

I stopped writing fiction several years ago thinking that my stories were never worth telling. This year I wanted to change that, and so far this year I’ve written four short stories and one novella I’m proud to share that one of the stories is now published.

I’m a bit late to the party, but WEAPONS is one of the best horror films I’ve seen in a long time. It’s gritty, packed with suspense, and some superb acting thrown in to the mix. If you only watch one horror film this season, watch this. You won’t regret it.
