If you're a Jewish New Yorker who can't understand why people in your city voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , ask your children. They probably did too.

Are Donald's feelings hurt?

In 2021, @nlanard.bsky.social came back from a hunger strike of taxi drivers and told me that a politician who had just turned 30 might be the future of politics in NYC. Here's a look back at a pivotal moment in Mamdani's rise www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The duopoly just joined forces in the Senate to vote down an #AUKUS inquiry. Never mind the political, technical & management risks associated with the program, or the $365B price tag - the two major parties are happy sleepwalking with your national security and money. #auspol

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal.
