Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Many people are saying the Republicans shut down the government to bulldoze the White House without permission and build the Epstein ballroom.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Wife singing “Macho Man” by the Village People Me (laughing): Remember when you first got to the States and thought the nacho hat was real? Wife: You’re the one who told me it was real! You lied to me! You’re the villain in this scenario!

I laughed so hard I dropped my phone into the abyss under the ottoman

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.

Love how much he’s taking this moment to drive for change
