Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

Why are Trump-supporting oligarchs spending a fortune to defeat @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social?
Because they fear Mamdani's people-powered movement will end their plunder and finally make NYC affordable for the working class.
Zohran is charting a path forward where billionaires have less power.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.
Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.
Priorities.

In addition to her 11 hour testimony on Benghazi, 3 committees held hearings on Hillary Clinton’s email servers. I wonder how many hearings will address the latest breach of war plans?

The economy is showing severe warning signs after Trump's first month in office. This shouldn't be surprising. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?...

![YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip code].
YOU: I’m calling on [SENATOR] to vote NO on the House GOP Spending bill.
YOU: Voting for the bill would be a complete disaster. It’s seeking $880 Billion in cuts, and gives too much power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It will cut education, hurt veterans, and continue to hurt our economy. It will also very likely open the door to slashing Medicaid.
YOU: The Republicans have made it clear that they’re not open to amendments, and have even admitted the bill will hurt issues they care about.
YOU: HOLD THE LINE. Don’t let the threat of a shutdown scare [SENATOR] into voting for a bill. It’s more important to show that they’re willing to fight for the American people and the future of this country.

Okay, sorry - I had a meeting. But New Yorkers? We need you to protest LOUDLY with Schumer.
I 100% understand the point about avoiding a shutdown. It's a no-win situation. But this is also just really poor and disappointing leadership.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible
Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46
For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B
Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

So Trump is going to attack drug cartels and criminals by releasing a criminal who operated a global drug trafficking ring online.
President Trump on Tuesday granted a pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road drug marketplace and a cult hero in the cryptocurrency and libertarian worlds. Ulbricht was serving a life sentence for creating a site to sell heroin, cocaine and other illicit substances. nyti.ms/42ok5qL
