7/7 This entire building in the center of Manhattan was expected to have fewer than a dozen full-time residents. It was designed to provide the ultra-wealthy with palatial homes (often full floor) for the few weeks each year they spent in NYC.” These are the targets of Mamdani’s tax.

Progressive podcaster Bryan Tyler Cohen is calling on Democratic governors in blue states to "wake the [expletive] up" and go on the offensive, warning that the GOP redistricting blitz could erase Democrats from the U.S. House for a generation.

Katie Phang visits the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibition that displays the 3,437 volumes of The Epstein Files. “Each of them weighs about 5 lb. … 3.5 million files bound into 800-page volumes. Altogether, it weighs about 17,000 lb.”

And I'd argue that without the context that facilitates meaning-making, facts are next to nothing.

#TrumpRegime & GOP are 100% CORRUPT 1- "GOP Gov Kevin Stitt under fire after grand jury busts him springing donor from prison early" www.rawstory.com/kevin-stitt-... 2- Sec Sean Duffy took his family on a 7-month TAXPAYER PAID road trip for a TV show open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... #VoteOutAllGOP

Please don’t listen to anyone in corrupt corporate media telling you the GOP will win the House bc of redistricting. We will still win it but it will take a lot of work. It will also take Democrats delivering a message of more than anti-Trump. They must vow to deliver REAL change that helps people.

Now THIS is how you celebrate the defeat of fascism in Europe.

Protests against new congressional maps are already happening across the South — and organizers say more mobilizations are likely coming. (5/6)

uh i dunno, seems like next to facts, context is everything.

A new internal poll shows Josh Turek leading Iowa’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary. As an Iowa State Rep., Josh Turek championed bills such as “Work Without Worry,” which would allow disabled Iowans to keep Medicaid benefits by raising income limits while removing asset limits & marriage penalties.

Over a year ago Trump told Zelensky he didn’t have any cards & couldn’t last much longer against Putin. This year Trump told us he has all the cards against Iran so they were going to unconditionally surrender in 4-6 weeks. But Zelensky is still fighting. And Trump is folding.

Pope Leo’s message to Trump ain’t subtle. He just appointed a former undocumented immigrant as the new Bishop of W Virginia. Same day, he named a Howard University chaplain as auxiliary bishop, who’s been clear: Trump’s attacks on DEI are a dangerous “regression” in the fight for racial equality.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Trump is due all the compassion he showed when Democrat Melissa Hortman was brutally assassinated, and elderly Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer.

Ox Tails used to be what po folk ate. Cooked right they were inexpensive but delicious. White folks discovered them and now they are the MOST expensive thing on the menu. Po folks can't afford them. This is how appropriation works. Take from the creator and then deny access to the creator.

Hahahaa, in 3 days it’s the fifth anniversary of the first American coup. I wish we had an opposition that was capable of drawing a line between attempting to kill Congress to install himself as a dictator and starting an illegal war with nary a public argument. Oh well.

If this was Biden, you’d be seeing 24/7 news cycles calling for him to step down — and Jake Tapper would be giving Jake Tapper face while he discussed his mental decline ad nauseam
