James Talarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.

Your boss, your landlord, and your insurance company cares about politics.

And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”

Talarico: The first bill I want to vote on in the Senate is comprehensive political reform

Undecided voter: What is that specifically?

Talarico: I want to ban Super PACs. I want to cap campaign contributions. I don’t think members of Congress should be allowed to buy and sell stocks

“We will make the case for why we are best positioned to win this race — but we will always treat Congresswoman Crockett with the utmost respect. She is my colleague and she is a leader in our state. She deserves nothing less.”

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.

People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.

It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

I just filed to run for the US Senate.

It’s time to take power back for working people.

Shame on @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and the rest of them for not decisively ending this racist, junior varsity nepo baby when he lost the primary
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

As Donald Trump attempts to create chaos that distracts from his problems, we’ll call it out for what it is.

Trump and Republicans are trying to distract from the pain they’re causing — from tariffs raising the prices of goods to stripping away healthcare and food from millions.

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.

They've outlived dozens of ships.

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

Talerico: They are trying to insulate themselves from the will of the people. Normally, when you pass unpopular policies, you lose seats in the next election. That's how this is supposed to work.

The 'no tax on tips' bit feels more like an incentive to keep people in the service industry and abandon hopes of climbing the economic ladder, just wrapped in a faux-populist policy.

It’s a difficult proposition for undergrads to work through, but choosing a major isn’t really about what kind of jobs you want to do so much as what sorts of questions you want to think about or *how* you want to think about questions throughout your life.

You know you’re doing something right (and maybe the incumbent is doing something wrong) when current council members and the former D12 council member have coalesced behind your campaign.

I am so grateful to each of these accomplished individuals who have endorsed me! Vote May 3rd!

“From my experience around city hall, I know how to get things done the right way. I believe Marc shares this same wisdom. He knows things could be done more effectively, and he’s prepared to work alongside others on the council to make Dallas a more safe, more prosperous, more equitable city.”
