How can Democratic House Members who consider themselves progressive rationalize their votes on H.Res.719? Of course he should not have been murdered; political violence is never acceptable. But you cannot honor a man who spent his life spewing racist, sexist venom. www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...

The Make Billionaires Pay march in NYC today. Good size, lively crowd and great bystander reactions.

Local 802, American Federation of Musicians standing with the Writers Guild to support Jimmy Kimmel and free speech at ABC Headquarters in NYC today.

Important! This says it all. Thank you Ta-Nehisi Coates. Brilliant as always. My one quibble is allowing the anti-choice movement to co-opt the language and call themselves "pro-life". www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

@sulliview.bsky.social Do you still think we should keep our subscriptions to the WaPo? I am not being sarcastic and would really love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Yes!!! Ezra Klein came close, but this nails it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/on-sh...

Could we implant this in Chuck Schumer’s brain? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/livin...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social if Trump doesn't fire Kennedy, start impeachment proceedings Tuesday morning. Republicans can't stop you. Force them to vote! @normornstein.bsky.social

In case anyone had any illusions left about Andrew Cuomo, he is completely despicable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/n...

At a rally in NYC this morning, several State Assembly members spoke about using the power of our legislature to hamstring the Trump agenda. This is the kind of fighting back from our electeds that we have been waiting for since January. Ifill says it better. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The grift is staggering! We are becoming inured to it because it is constant. They are flooding the zone and we need to see the water rising over our heads. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Brilliant commentary from Linda Greenhouse! I wish her newspaper was reporting on ICE terrorism in NYC courthouses the way the LA Times in reporting on ICE activities in CA. People here are being kidnapped when they show up for their mandated hearings. Shameful!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/o...

Unless they want to align themselves with Islamaphobes and MAGA, it is time for establishment Dems to get behind the man who won the NYC mayoral primary. This is an excellent piece. theintercept.com/2025/07/10/m...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Please read this article and then tell us why you aren't putting more pressure on Trump's Gestapo to let congress members do their legally mandated inspections of these facilities. Maybe this is why people are talking about primarying you. gothamist.com/news/theyre-...

@bradlander.bsky.social. You should be aware that the NY Post published an article saying that you are telling people to skip their court hearings. NY1 quoted the article this morning. I assume that it is not accurate and hope you can do something about it. Thank you very much.

How can two disgraced former governors and a disgraced current mayor have the nerve to say that Mamdani must be stopped?!! If it wasn't so awful, it would be funny. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/n...

When we compared Trump and MAGA to Nazis,we were told that we were being hyperbolic. What do you say now? Abductions by masked thugs without warrants, concentration camps, arresting elected officials, strong arming educational institutions, all with the approval of SCOTUS. I hope it's not too late.

Thank you @Paul Krugman for this excellent cri de coeur. Now the question is how do we stop this tsunami of immorality and illegality? open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Can anyone explain how DHS can deny legally mandated inspections of detention facilities by members of Congress? Why is this just printed as a fact instead of as the outrage it really is? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Today in Foley Square, New Yorkers said NO to ICE.

This was Trump's purpose all along. He is deliberately provoking strong responses to his horrific actions so he can send in the National Guard, the first step to declaring martial law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

I love Rosa DeLaura!!!

Of course SCOTUS had to do this on the shadow docket. There is no way they could have justified it in a written decision. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/u...

Will Bunch!! The Democrats who signed on to the "Genius Act" did so to protect their campaign donations, without any regard to the fact that they are giving Trump and other grifters the keys to the vault. Read the section labeled "Backstory on Dems' big crypto sellout". share.inquirer.com/95sJVu

Cory Booker has gone from being a hero to a heel.In one day,he voted to confirm convicted felon Charles Kushner as US Ambassador to France and supported the disgusting “Genius Act.”He owes Kushner because Jared donated to his 2013 campaign and he wants to curry favor with the crypto guys. Shame!

Where is the daily briefing from the Dem Shadow Cabinet? At this point not making this part of the daily media diet of the country seems negligent, political malpractice and a form of capitulation.

Before anyone gets too excited about the first round victory in the "Genius Act" war, read Paul Krugman's thoughts. It should be required reading for our Democratic Senators. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

More than 600 classical musicians, not a cohort known for its political activism, have signed an open letter to protest the policies of our government. You can read the letter here. If you are a member of the classical music community, you can add your name. www.change.org/p/musicians-...

NY State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal posted a recording on YouTube of a town hall with Jerrold Nadler and Neera Tanden. The video runs 67 minutes and stops at the point when the audience was getting angry about Nadler's lack of ideas about how to stop Trump. How incredibly dishonest! Shame on them.

This is what Democracy looks like! In NYC today. A few hundred of us rallied at the Tesla showroom in the Meatpacking District and then proceeded to two Palentir offices, David Sachs’ home, Jeff Bezos’ home and Peter Thiel’s home. Great energy and appreciative bystanders.

This is what Democracy looks like. Scenes from NYC May Day rally and march.
