Mamdani surges past Cuomo in final Emerson poll, pulling nearly even in the first round and winning final round 52/48.

Crucially, the poll shows Mamdani with a 41/31 lead among those who have already cast their ballots.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.

In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.

You have a home here always.

NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.

The current scene outside 26 Federal Plaza where Democratic mayoral candidate and City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE agents earlier for asking to see a judicial warrant.

The crowd supporting Lander is growing - and includes other elected officials.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and I've been stranded at Newark for three days. But at least I know that Harvard is going to have start hiring more conservative professors.

After adding today's new polls, Trump's approval rating has hit a new low of 43.6%, down from 49.4% on day one of his term. His new record-low net rating of -9.4 is now lower than his rating at this point in his first term. Worst-ever approval for a POTUS 100 days in.

This is why the student loan bubble is about to burst. I feel bad for this woman—but she freaking nails it. 🔥

For the #HandsOff , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol.

So they held their very own! 57 of them came out!

Aged 67-104!

They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them!

They had s sign making day before the event!

They sent this video to me to share.🥰

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
Full of people down 5th avenue, view from 39th Street.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Voting is a fundamental right and sacred responsibility of every American.

Yet, once again Donald Trump is ignoring the rule of law and circumventing Congress.
