James: I defend the rights of New Yorkers—that’s my job each and every day, without fear and without favor—and that’s what Zohran will do, joining with me against any overreach.

AOC: My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. and it is my deep honor and privilege to welcome you to the inauguration of our new mayor of New York City. Zohran Kwame Mamdani

AOC: Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century. He will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. Most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us .

AOC: New York City has chosen the ambitious pursuit of universal childcare, affordable rents and housing and clean and dignified public transit for all. We have chosen that over the distractions of bigotry and the barbarism of extreme income inequality

Tax the Rich, Say Mamdani, Sanders. AOC, and NYC Inauguration Crowd “For too long in our city, freedom has belonged only to those who can afford to buy it,” said the new mayor. “Our City Hall will change that.” www.commondreams.org/news/zohran-...

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov not for just having my back below, but the backs of all working class Americans. I was proud to co-chair your campaign in 2020. Your integrity is the reason you won CA-17 and California decisively!

Masked agents dragged a teacher from her classroom. They pepper-sprayed a toddler. They shot a father of two, for the crime of trying to go to work. This is Trump’s America—and we need your help to keep exposing it. trib.al/CeYNttK

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

Netanyahu can begin by ending HIS killing of Palestinian Christians. www.npr.org/2025/07/17/n...

Chaos continues to engulf the Kennedy Center as its honors show suffered a devastating ratings nosedive in 2025, according to a new report.

They bombed animals. I recall the first bombing of this ecopark when the war just began - they had no system to donate, so people bought all the tickets online, so they could get some funds to rebuild. And they did. They stayed with animals, shared videos of newborn “babies”. But russia had to kill

CBS News reports Trump’s pardon spree wiped out $1.3 BILLION owed by convicted criminals—fraudsters, tax cheats, and grifters—leaving victims and taxpayers holding the bag. “Law and order” for suckers. Pardons for crooks.

It seems really important to this administration that Russia not be "the enemy." Even if doing so makes us lose all our friends.

Not "golden age" but GILDED AGE ‼️ The time in US history that is most similar to the present is the "Gilded Age" (1870-1900) in which grotesque rich industrial tycoons dominated, income inequality was extreme and corruption by government officials was rampant.

A Utah-based federal judge has orderd the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a man who administration officials acknowledge was deported in violation of a court order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And sure enough, just a few days later, this has made its way into Abrego Garcia’s latest filing seeking sanctions against the government for violating the court order. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

By amplifying this post calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist,” the Trump administration just violated the court order that they reference.

When a judge handed down a blistering opinion in the Texas gerrymander case, he saved his sharpest lines for the DOJ’s legal missteps. The department’s accumulation of errors is proving to be more than just sloppy execution — it’s destroying its power. https://bit.ly/49a2uVe

🔥 MAYOR MAMDANI: "We will answer to all New Yorkers, not to any billionaire or oligarch who thinks they can buy our democracy… I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical.”

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

Today's newsletter: I read the Jack Smith transcript Republicans released on New Year's Eve so you don't have to. Here are 12 takeaways: www.readtpa.com/p/house-repu...

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Thousands of spectators lined Broadway and filled City Hall Park to celebrate the inauguration of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who vowed to push his ambitious affordability agenda for New York City and not shy away from the promises he made during his campaign. www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/01/z...

These businessmen have shown no shame in kowtowing to the president—and he has richly rewarded their sycophancy. trib.al/LijwYFl

WATCH: Bernie Sanders speaks at Zohran Mamdani's public inauguration www.ms.now/katy-tur/wat...

Without raising her voice or insulting the president, Bishop Mariann Budde preached the Gospel. So, naturally, Trump lost it.

Mamdani: "The cost of childcare will no longer discourage young adults from starting a family, because we will deliver universal childcare for the many by taxing the wealthiest few"

Thinking this is wrong is not radical. Thinking it isn’t is.
