Zeteo with an exclusive: The Block The Bombs Act, which would suspend offensive military assistance to the State of Israel, has been officially endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Who will be the first congressional Democrat brave enough to call for Schumer and Jeffries to stop this nonsense and step aside?

Unusual to see this degree of racial polarization in voting among congressional Democrats. Many, many white Dems in safe districts voted to praise Kirk. Black members largely voted against, although Jeffries also was in favor.

A spreadsheet of every candidate on the ballot for this year's New York City general election on November 4th: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Our Congressional Dem Left Tracker is improved & updated with today's Charlie Kirk vote. Top 10 House Dems: 1. Tlaib - 99% 2. Lee (PA) - 98% 3. Omar - 97% 4. AOC - 97% 5. Ramirez - 96% 6. Casar - 93% 7. García (IL) - 92% 8. Simon - 92% 9. Jayapal - 91% 10. Pressley - 89%

Only 58 Democrats dared to vote against praising Charlie Kirk. Most fall into 3 categories: 1. Progressives 2. Vulnerable in a primary (Menendez, Moulton, Thanedar + Krishnamoorthi, who's running for Senate) 3. Black Dems (more than 75% voted no) Only 2 of the 58 Nos (Moulton & Quigley) are white.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Press warned to back up as DHS police take lawmakers were taken away in zip ties, among them Comptroller Brad Lander and 10 other state reps including Bobby Carol, Marcela Mitayanes, Julia Salazar, Emily Gallagher, Jabari Brisport, Jessica Gonzalez Rojas,... story TK

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

A look at the new crop of Mamdani imitators who are trying to copy his style, but don't have his substance.

Rather than offering a real alternative to the status quo, this crop of candidates is repackaging the boring, moderate politics of the Democratic establishment with inauthentic videos and forced rhetoric.

Good piece in @thenation.com with an important lesson: its superficial to assume Mamdani's success was simply about messaging while ignoring the message itself. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

For @thenation.com, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

So excited for democratic socialist @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social and his run for Providence mayor! He's challenging a centrist incumbent who is fighting rent stabilization, illegally underfunding schools, and is a literal AIPAC *donor* who wears an Israeli flag pin around the city.

Today, Providence is the least affordable city in America for renters and costs are going up for everyone. Together, we can make Providence a city all our neighbors can afford and where everyone feels welcome. Join our movement: secure.actblue.com/donate/davidmo…

“In arguing for Mr. Netanyahu’s arrest, Mr. Mamdani noted that the Israeli prime minister had made military decisions while in New York that killed civilians in the Middle East.” “‘This is something that I intend to fulfill,’ Mr. Mamdani said.” 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/n...

well established by now that conservatives don't care about their own hypocrisy, but it's still very telling that their only answer to people pointing out their past calls for violence/mockery of people's deaths is just "lol so what." this is all one big joke to them

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Last night, the House passed Trump's bloated military budget with 5 amendments targeting trans people (4/5 written by Nancy Mace). 13 Dems voted for at least 1 amendment: Cuellar Davis (NC) Fields Figures Gray Gonzalez Gillen Golden Lee (NV) Perez Mannion Schrier Suozzi 1/2

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

hell yeah: "A Georgia judge on Tuesday said he will toss the racketeering charges against all 61 defendants accused of a yearslong conspiracy to halt the construction of a police and firefighter training facility that critics pejoratively call “Cop City.”" apnews.com/article/atla...

On Thursday, 12 Senate Democrats (and Rand Paul) voted against a motion to proceed to a vote on Trump's annual military budget. Baldwin Booker Markey Merkley Padilla Sanders Schatz Smith Van Hollen Warren Welch Wyden The other 35 Democrats voted YES.

“Somehow, he's gotten a little bit of a lead. I have no idea how that happened.” Answer:

Enough with the backroom scheming. If Trump is serious about intervening in the mayoral race, he should come to New York City and debate me directly.

ohhhhkayy fuck Micah Lasher we need a candidate in this scrum

1 in 5 dollars donated to Micah Lasher in 2024 ($36k+) was from Solidarity PAC (AIPAC Jr.) Their dark money sister org, NY Solidarity Network, is funded by Sam Bankman-Fried's friends. Their website used to host a “Wall of Shame” targeting Brad Lander for supporting a ceasefire.

Jerry Nadler’s pick for Congress, Micah Lasher, has been one of the city’s biggest deniers of and cheerleaders for genocide. He’s been arguing for free speech crackdowns on pro-Palestinian speech while tens of thousands are slaughtered in Gaza.

In an ideal world, our elections would continue fairly, free from interference or moneyed interests, and proportional representation would ensure our districts cannot be drawn to benefit one political party or another at the expense of workers. We do not live in that world yet.

California DSA delegates, representing chapters from across the state, overwhelmingly voted to endorse California’s Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act. You can read our full statement here: www.californiadsa.org/resolutions/...

Chicago keeping art alive:

The left should support mid-decade redistricting across the country to send fewer Republicans to Congress and fight their blatant power grab. When the stakes are "will we allow fascists to continue running the government?" we have an obligation to do everything we can to stop them.

77% of registered Democrats say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. But only 6% of congressional Democrats (13) have called it a genocide. 75% of registered Democrats oppose military aid to Israel. But only 19% of congressional Democrats (40) are co-sponsoring the Block the Bombs Act.

Where do your sympathies lie? 37% Palestinians 36% Israelis 27% Don't Know "This is an all-time high for the Palestinians and an all-time low for the Israelis since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question of registered voters in December 2001" poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

i feel like the people dunking on this are huffing copium. yeah it's basically a hit piece, but its also an accurate run down of the situation in the org. if you dont want people to write articles like this, then you shouldn't let the kinds of things described within happen

Atlanta has become unaffordable. Rent is too high, we’re decades behind on mass transit, and the wealth gap grows larger each year.  We deserve affordable housing, a green future, and an economy for the 99%. That’s why I’m running for Atlanta City Council District 2. youtu.be/wGRFpNk8XvM?...

Kelly, an IL-Sen candidate, is the 35th Dem to sign onto the Block the Bombs Act and the 8th addition this month (it was introduced back in May). Other recent sponsors: August 5th - Chu, Khanna August 8th - Castro, Foushee, Raskin August 12th - Tonko August 15th - Mike Thompson
