Dean Fuleihan, who Mamdani has picked as first deputy mayor, held the same role under de Blasio and was the one who wrangled the money out of Albany that made universal pre-K possible gothamist.com/news/mayor-e...

Moments of opportunity like this come along rarely, and with Dean and Elle we'll seize upon it to usher in a new day for New York.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

The deal, which does not include any guarantees on extending health care subsidies, came under sharp criticism from several Democratic leaders.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

“This was a very very bad vote”

Last year, roughly 10,000 attorneys worked across the Justice Department and its components, including the FBI. Justice Connection, an advocacy group that has been tracking departures, estimates that around 5,500 people — not all of them attorneys — have quit www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals. Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there. Or it’s creating it. Either answer is terrible for sports.

Christine Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi, has announced she’s running for the California State Senate.

On one hand dems could fight for the thing they swore was important enough to shut the government down over, set a clear narrative, give power to dem governors, fortify the party going into the midterms on the other hand they’ll have to work a full week and wait longer at the airport - tough call

I don't know when I'll write it up, but among the things Rudy Giuliani got pardoned for is destroying the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month. So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me… What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head? Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

So many folks giving budget friendly ideas to folks on SNAP have me kind of side-eyeing a bit as if we don't KNOW how to get the best bang for our buck and if you're doing price per serving include an upfront cost total too cuz folks cant walk into a grocery store & get the amount needed per serving
