Breaking News: Nancy Pelosi will not seek reelection in 2026.
Thank you for your decades of service to the nation.
Can Eleanor Holmes Norton, 88, retire too?
No one over the age of 70 from now on, and term limits must be enacted.
I’m sorry, but what happened to RETIRING?
Chuck Grassley is 92.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

I disagree with Liz Cheney on almost every policy, but when she stood with Kamala and said democracy is more important than party, I was proud of my country.
Sending her light and peace today as she says goodbye to her dad.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Had a gorgeous beach day Sunday. Weird to have a lovely moment while feeling the pressure of our current situation, but having emotional and mental reserves seems important.

Twice this year, Anne Applebaum visited the front lines of Sudan’s brutal war. No international organizations, diplomats, or Americans are coming to fill the void that years of violence have created, she reports. Read: theatln.tc/fcC5U5EK

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Someone in the comments of a reddit post took the time to actually type out a straightforward timeline of Trump and Epsteins' recorded relationship. I knew parts, but seeing it all laid out makes Trump's denials and distractions all the more pathetic and obvious.
