Friday is Jimmy Buffett Day. That has nothing to do with Abolish Everything, but you should come and make sure that he doesnât get abolished.

Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act

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.

When I was a kid in 1992 I remember running around the house excited that Bill Clinton had won. Everything about the man since has fuled my profound disappointment in politicians.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses.

Billionaires are consolidating around Cuomo because they know he will preserve the broken status quo. New Yorkers are rallying behind our campaign because they're ready for change. In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet
