A better world is possible

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Dave Weigel: “When Fox News is booking you and covering you, might that be for the same reason Republican PACs spend to help progressive candidates? That they see you as easier to beat?”

Abdul El-Sayed: “It’s amazing to me how deeply they’re misjudging this. I’m like: You have never fought a counterpuncher. The number of times I’m gonna define and redefine Mike Rogers! We’re talking about an anti-charismatic old school politician who doesn’t even know what he believes, except for he wants to make himself rich off of the rest of us. You know what I’m gonna do to that man? By the time I’m done, his best friends are gonna look at him and think what I think, say what I say. I’m gonna define him into eternity. Good, help me beat the crap out of you. Little parts of your vestiges — politically — are gonna be scattered all over the state of Michigan, never to be seen again. You say “Mike Rogers,” it’ll be like: “Remember when Abdul just completely demolished that man’s political future?” By the time I’m done with him, people are going to be calling him Five Dollar Rogers.”

Weigel: “Why five dollars?”

El-Sayed: “Because of $5 gas and how he’ll do whatever you want him to do for five bucks.”

2028 can't come fast enough for PA.

When we fight, we win.

Love you all. Solidarity forever.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

Would Mika like to elaborate on the timeline of her relationship with her co-host, since we’re holding people to saintly standards here?

[Sam Seder @SamSeder]

Honestly hard to reconcile how close to the seat of power this person has been for going on two decades of failures and that she sits on twitter for hours on end blaming news hosts and reporters for these failures. It’s sort of fascinating. (Also Grim’s history is accurate)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.

To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

George Lucas wrote a trilogy about unconditional love and its radical redemptive power. He then wrote another trilogy centred around how George Bush and Dick Cheney are literally dark satanist wizards scheming for destruction. He is a hero.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.

Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.

American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.

Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Trump is lying to the American people as he launches an illegal, regime-change war against Iran. This is endangering American lives & has already resulted in mass civilian casualties. This is not making us safer & only damages the US & our interests. The Senate must immediately vote on the War Powers Resolution to stop it.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I didn’t do any of those things because I fear losing my dignity more than I fear losing my life. Something you coward losers will never understand. So fuck off.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.

Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

There is only one candidate in this race who is standing up to a corporate-dominated politics driven by billionaires.

That candidate is @ZohranKMamdani. And I am proud to support him.
