@billsimmons.bsky.social are you thinking Ewing Theory with Caitlin Clark for these playoffs yet?

"Do you think the government should increase taxes on the wealthiest to strengthen the country's social and safety net programs?" Yes: 73% No: 26% Beacon/Shaw / Sep 9, 2025

New Yorkers deserve a Governor who will fight for us—who will push back on Trump, not cut deals with him, and make our state safer and more affordable for all of us. That’s why we’re proud to endorse Antonio Delgado @delgadoforny.bsky.social for Governor!

Honored to stand with workers at today’s Labor Day rally. We must become a state and a country of the workers, by the workers, and for the workers. Together, we are strong, unstoppable, and we will win.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the workers who build, care, and serve our communities. We must become a state and a country that is of the workers, by the workers, and for the workers. Together, we are strong, unstoppable, and we will win!

Great quote from @citizenactionny.org organizer @ravoroot.bsky.social: "...These actions are reckless. Governor Hochul must step up and lead on climate, not bow down to Trump and the oil and gas industry." www.wicz.com/news/activis...

Kelsey Mitchell is the most underrated player in the WNBA.

Happy Independence Day. I love this country. Not because it’s perfect, but because people have always fought to make it better. Patriotism means closing the gap between our ideals and our reality. That means no kings. No billionaires in charge. No one above the people. Here’s to the work. 🇺🇸

Mike Lawler looked into the camera and lied directly to your face. Mike Lawler is nothing more than just another corporate politician that says anything to get elected then stabs us in the back when he goes to vote in Washington.

The Republican Party is voting in lockstep today to show they are: ❌ Against safe, affordable housing ❌ Against healthcare access ❌ Against food assistance 💰 For billionaires getting another massive tax break while shitting on the rest of America.

Don't tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you do is shit on the middle class. I'm voting hell no.

The One Big Beautiful Scam will kick 1.5 million New Yorkers off their healthcare. No one in Upstate New York should lose their healthcare so billionaires and big corporations can get another handout.

Proud to have a Congressman representing us who is voting against this bill which puts working class people last and billionaires first. The former guy who held this seat would have gladly voted yes on these disastrous cuts as he did many times when he was in office.

Destroying the lives of millions of Americans doesn’t serve anyone in Alaska or across the country. This is what you will be remembered for Senator Murkowski.

Support For Reducing Federal Funding For Low-Income Food Assistance: ⚪ All: 22% 🔴 GOP: 42% 🔵 DEM: 8% -> usapolling.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

Win or lose this Indiana Pacers team is one of the very best teams I have ever had the privilege to watch. They would have beaten my Celtics and been here no matter what. #NBAsky #Pacers #NBAFinals

"Do you think the US military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran?" 🔴 No: 60% ⚫ Yes: 16% -> open.substack.com/pub/usapolli...

Juneteenth is a song of freedom, born from struggle and carried with hope. We honor the past and dream forward, toward justice that is real and freedom that is full.

Regime change wars have never worked. They destabilize entire regions, cost countless lives, and serve only to enrich billionaire defense contractors. While the military-industrial complex thrives, everyday people, both here and abroad, pay the price in blood, suffering, and lost futures.

Congressman Riley is right. This is plan is going to kill people, plain and simple.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

What dystopian reality is this? Blatant lies and it’s all on tape.

New York needs more leaders ready to stand up in the face of this authoritarian regime.

In times like these, we have to stand up for what’s right. Standing up for everyday people and pushing back against the bullies who try to strip others of their humanity or cut essential services will be seen as a no-brainer in 50 years. Do the right thing today.

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events

New TV ad starts airing tonight. We are done settling for less.

In a decisive vote, Citizen Action has endorsed Michael Blake to join our slate of progressive champions fighting for a NYC that works for all of us. Citizen Action of NY’s full NYC mayoral endorsement slate now includes: Zohran Mamdani Adrienne Adams Brad Lander Zellnor Myrie Michael Blake

How many lies has Cuomo told during the debate so far? The answer: every time his lips move, he’s lying.

When you fight for working class people it’s so weird how a broad coalition of people favor you.

How many millionaire and billionaire donors does Joni “Lord Farquaad” Ernst have? I wonder…

This is disgusting. VOTE THEM ALL OUT.

Even when life was really hard, I always had Around the Horn to look forward to. Whether I was coming home from school, college, or work, it was an old reliable, something I could turn on and instantly feel comforted. It was truly was more than just a sports show. Thank you all who made it happen!

I grew up in Arcade, a small village in Wyoming County. I saw friends’ dairy farms go under. Nick Langworthy grew up nearby in South Dayton. Nick Langworthy has forgotten us. He’s a sellout to billionaires. His talk about supporting farmers is nothing but empty words.

At a time when massive wealth inequality is growing the last thing we should be doing is giving billionaires another tax break. Partially footing the bill by cutting essential services for our most vulnerable just to hand out more to the ultra-wealthy is not only wrong, it’s immoral.

Radical Republicans support extremist proposals to cut Medicaid. The public doesn’t support it and never will. This Republican Party is reckless and out of control.

Mikal Bridges becoming Kawhi Leonard tonight wasn’t something I expected.

Did David Sterns ghost take over the draft?

Also, this commercial break is torture knowing there is a 3/4 chance Cooper Flagg makes my life harder watching sports the next 10-15 years because he will be pummeling my team.

I genuinely feel bad for Wizards fans.

I wonder how Congressman Mike Lawler will vote on this. Remember, words from politicians are empty, actions matter!

Game recap:

Sharing a GIF from Congressman Lawlers town hall last night.

Shedeur Sanders dropping this far is the most shocking story in NFL Draft history.

Pope Francis reminded us that true leadership means serving those in need. He lived simply, spoke boldly, and stood with the vulnerable. His legacy is a call to act with compassion and courage.

Elon Musk is one of the most unfunny people and cheats at video games.

Every accusation is a confession. Pete Hegseth was a Fox News host for nearly a decade before becoming Secretary of Defense.

Republicans unabashedly defending Putin is just gross.

Congressional members like Mike Flood don’t get what everyday Americans want. He should get out of his DC silo more often.
