“At every turn, we see this administration undertaking policy intended to dehumanize, diminish, and erase Black people’s presence, our political power and our voice. There is no doubt that Supreme Court reform must be a part of our democracy reform agenda.” thetriibe.com/2026/06/ever...

Amidst a housing crisis and skyrocketing costs, we are creating the first City-backed program to reduce insurance costs for affordable and rent-stabilized housing. Housing providers will get support to improve housing while maintaining affordability. www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/06/24/p...

🚨 Today marks the 4th anniversary of the Dobbs decision — when the Supreme Court ripped away the constitutional right to abortion and put women’s lives at risk. Extremists celebrated. Women suffered. Now it’s on us to fight back. Vote Democratic to restore Roe! #VoteDemRestoreRoe

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.

This victory is not about Mamdani being a king maker; if it were, there would be no primary victories for Platner in Maine and George in DC. Medicare for All, Tax the Billionaires, a moratorium on data centers, affordable housing, and a sovereign wealth fund for the US built off of AI

1/2 The Senate just did something Washington almost never does. It told a president: "You don't get to drag America into another war by yourself." In a rare bipartisan rebuke, senators voted to limit Trump's ability to continue military action against Iran without congressional approval.

UPDATE: Zohran-backed Brad Lander ousts Rep. Goldman in NY house Primary

We can have a thriving middle class, or we can have a handful of people accumulating more wealth than at any time in human history. We cannot have both.

It’s time for Democrats to take on the class war that’s being waged by the nation’s oligarchy against most Americans by becoming class warriors themselves. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/class-warriors-class-worriers-and

3-time Olympian Davey Hearn didn’t break the Reflecting Pool… Trump’s no-bid renovation did Hearn touched a piece of already-peeling liner to see how it felt -- curious & concerned like millions of Americans about this fiasco This prosecution is meritless & we will fight it 👇 @cnn.com

This is a five-alarm fire. A fascist is in the White House, rogue ICE agents are on the streets, and billionaires are trying to buy our elections. It’s time to elect better Democrats who will fight, not fold. Get out and vote today. Find your poll site here: vote.nyc

Trump's chaos is structured so we see the attempts but not the backstop. As the ACLU indicated, the DOJ's attempts to seize voter data has been blocked 9 out of 9 times. They rely on the us seeing the "shock and awe" and not the outcome — WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN. None of this is inevitable.

JUST IN: US judge blocks subpoenas to Minnesota officials in DOJ immigration probe reut.rs/4oIgAVa

I will never stop exercising my constitutional rights to stand up for Minnesotans and the American freedoms we hold dear. My full statement on DOJ’s politically motivated investigation:

We gave Iran a massive concession they want very badly up front in advance in exchange for a promise to allow inspectors in again with zero specifics about when, how, or what sites they will be allowed to see. This is insanity.

NEWS: The Trump administration is threatening to withhold homeland security grants from states unless they adopt Trump-backed election changes. These are funds used to help prevent terror attacks, protect critical infrastructure, and keep communities safe.

The real problem isn't immigrants or trans kids. It's the Epstein class rigging the system and getting rich doing it.

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

The National Guard is now guarding the algae in the Reflecting Pool to protect against an utterly deranged conspiracy theory Donald Trump thought up on the can We are so far beyond America being *just* a global joke There are simply no words anymore for how pathetic all this is

🚨 BREAKING: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing what it calls U.S. failure to uphold the “end-of-war agreement,” Israel’s continued strikes in southern Lebanon, and Israel’s refusal to withdraw from the area. 1/

I disagree. I’d blame the homeowner (or renter) for hosting a cage match in the front yard, allowing the house to be partially demolished, and not maintaining the pool properly.

On Juneteenth, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers whose struggle and determination brought us closer to justice. At Foley Square, Lorenzo Pace's sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to that legacy.

Bahahaha

“They were honoring that which is most beautiful about America — that every generation since our founding has had a chance to look in the mirror cast by the Declaration of Independence and ask two questions: Are we there yet? And what can I do to help?” substack.com/home/post/p-... #Juneteenth

Two dueling narratives tonight as Vance's Switzerland trip gets postponed. US: blames unpredictable "logistics." Iran: a source tells Al Mayadeen it's over Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, which Tehran says violate the MOU.

Republicans are attacking the administration’s awful Iran deal. The administration is attacking Israel. Israel is attacking the administrations awful Iran deal. The reflecting pool has leprosy. I was told there would be winning.

Susan Collins is spineless and corrupt. And in 138 days, we will defeat her.

Natasha Rakotz is one of 15 Minnesotans facing charges in connection to anti-ICE activism over the winter. Rakotz says, "I'm just one of many people trying to help our immigrant neighbors.” This woman is showing us what doing the right thing looks like, & she gets arrested for it.Take a listen!👇🏼

Thank you to Fox News for EXPOSING my support for...universal healthcare and taxing billionaires.

We wanted to post some more detail about this because it deserves far more attention. The Trump administration’s Justice Department has intervened in litigation involving Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, asking a court to dismiss a pollution lawsuit against the company.

Breaking News: the algae has agreed to accept $300 billion to consider vacating the reflecting pool

This will put RFK Jr, the man who believes Tylenol causes autism, in charge of Special Education programs in the US. This will gut all civil rights protections in education (integration). This cannot stand. Teachers Unions: get your strike shoes on. apnews.com/article/trum...
