Why do the Democrats who are closest ideologically to Republicans think they get to police who is a legit Democrat?
Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

The same applies to Kirsten Gillibrand — the other New York Democratic senator, who is also in charge of electing more Democrats to congress
As you see Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Stephen Miller all endorse Andrew Cuomo, just remember that Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — never ended up endorsing Cuomo's opponent (the Democratic nominee)

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani, NYC-DSA, and every volunteer & supporter on this amazing grassroots campaign! People power and moral clarity defeated cynicism and superPACs.
This is an historic victory for working people in New York and across the nation who believe a better world is possible.

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

The United States spends billions of dollars on ICE detention centers each year — most of which are privately owned.
We are making it profitable to illegally and unconstitutionally detain immigrants who have been convicted of no crimes and are just waiting for hearings.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

Last week, I conducted an unannounced oversight visit at the Northwest Detention Center.
I found people who never should have been detained and individuals not being told what their rights are. This is not what the American people want from our immigration system.

Under pressure from immigrants' rights advocates, San Francisco quit a sensitive data-sharing program with ICE. But neighboring Alameda County, home to Oakland and Berkeley, remains in the program and is still feeding information to federal authorities. boltsmag.org/alameda...
This Bay Area County Says It Cut Ties with ICE. This Program Says Otherwise.
A widespread data-sharing program highlights financial ties between local police and immigration enforcement—and how even sanctuary jurisdictions still feed “the deportation machine.”

Very glad that he’s alive, but why didn’t you bring him back?
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
