FT sums it up thus: "Mamdani has built his campaign on making New York more affordable for the people who live and work there."

And this is the platform Democrats are worried might spread nationally (!)

I agree 💯%. The decisions and policies put the troop's lives at risk. Our country is in a dangerous path. Many more senior officers need to speak up and expect better policy decisions. People's lives are at stake.

If Flag Level officers are staying silent because of fear of retribution then they are cowards.

When I was active duty there were senior officers that I respected and then there were officers only concerned with their careers. It’s truly sad if true.

'Scared' ex-generals stay silent over fear Trump will use rare military law against them

A military law that allows prosecution against ex-generals and retired senior military officers who speak out with "contemptuous" statements against President Donald Trump has rendered many silent, ac...

A lot of young men and women are doing a great job breaking down the benefits of progressive policies. This type of messaging is what we need.

When the GOP is raising the cost of healthcare, destroying the economy and cutting off food stamps, they deserve a bad year.

My predictions for Tuesday's elections is a clean sweep for Democrats and democracy:

NJ: Sherrill wins.
VA: Spanberger wins.
NYC: Mamdani wins.
CA: Prop 50 passes.
ME: Q1 fails.
PA: SCOPA Justices are retained.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

So let's see here...

So far Trump wants to start a war with:

Venezuela
Mexico
America
Nigeria

Now, I don't know a lot about military history, but I'm sure starting wars on four fronts simultaneously has always worked out great.

That would be an invasion of Mexico. A War. What gives the United States authority to police affairs within Mexico’s borders?

Mexico is a strong Middle Power and the idiotic Trump Regime is so arrogant that it thinks it can just easily win any War it starts.

Sorry to see racists in black face thinking they can mock with impunity again. This is never okay.

A tweet from gav (@itsgavv) reads: “we’re witnessing levels of racism not seen since 1962.” It quotes a tweet from Brittany Venti, who posted two photos of herself wearing blackface makeup while holding fried chicken, captioned “When that EBT hit.”

Yes! This is message the Democrats need to focus on!

What can Dems learn from Mamdani?
1. He is an authentic human.
2. He cares about people.
3. He has a sense of humor.
4. He focuses on econ inequality.
5. He rejects corporate politics.
6. His policy proposals & messaging are laser-focused on affordability.

Federal workers are working without pay while working and the GOP House Republicans are not working but getting paid. OMB Director Vought should shut his mouth about traumatizing Federal workers.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
