Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

The only good car for the environment is the one you don’t need to buy, @sierraclub.org.

We need to focus on walking, biking and mass transit, NOT metal cage EVs that are only here to save the auto industry instead of the planet.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

BOOM! The North Carolina State House just unanimously (107 to 0) passed a ban on parking minimums in new developments statewide.

This is powerful and bipartisan pro-housing reform that will make it easier to expand multifamily housing. Great work.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.

This should be a slam dunk for us, but Establishment Dems have been silent on war with Iran because AIPAC owns them and wants this war
