BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces click-to-cancel rule for NYC.
This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers.
This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year.
I dunno if I’d be bragging that I was doing and saying racist things, being called a racist, and then saying it doesn’t bother me…just to “own the libs” but it’s certainly a choice!
I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for new wind and solar projects, thanks President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cut.
I wish Democrats coordinated and stayed on message like Republicans do.
The way every leading Republican and Republican talking head (wrongly, and strangely) attacked Mayor Mamdani over his power grid suggestion through the NYC heatwave is something else.
We could never.
Democrat-led cities (and some Republican) have power/energy saving measures and make the same sort of declarations every year there are heat waves…these people act like these are new things that are happening because one person got elected last year…make it make sense.
It’s 100 degrees and Democrats are still whispering about climate change 🙄
Thankfully, New Yorkers elected public power champions at the state and federal level to take on the fossil fuel industry and protect us from these deadly heat waves.
New Yorkers demand climate action and democratic socialists will deliver.
As President Trump is declining to say whether he'll sign a bipartisan housing bill, Vice President Vance says:
"Frankly, I would love it, if Democrats were willing, not that they will agree with Republicans all the time, but if they were willing to work with us on lowering housing prices, on lowering gas prices, on actually making the lives of American citizens better. We could have some real bipartisan compromise."
Senator Paul is a smart guy, so he knows (in this political climate for the next, say, 100 years) there will never be any amendments to the Constitution. You will NEVER get a Constitutional Convention convened. This performative stuff is silly and just confuses uneducated people
Upset with the SCOTUS decision today?
Call your senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to support my Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. We must protect the integrity of American citizenship.
Senator Wiener’s Statement on Physical Intimidation and Harassment of Political Leaders
SAN FRANCISCO – In two separate incidents this week, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) was harassed, threatened, and physically intimidated while attending public events to engage with the San Francisco community. Both incidents were sparked by people who had previously targeted Senator Wiener with aggressive behavior in the past. Senator Wiener issued the following statement on the incidents:
”Last night I attended the trans march, as I’ve done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004. I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings, who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the President. It has been a deep honor to partner for many years with trans people to advance legislation and budget requests to support the community.
”As I walked through Dolores Park to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact. They made statements about my ‘Israeli handlers,’ among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements. They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park. As a result, I left the park and, for the very first time, did not participate in the trans march.
“This follows an incident Wednesday night at a bar in the Mission where I’d gone to watch a World Cup game. During the game, a man accosted me in a corner of the bar, effectively cornering me and the young women staffers who were with me. He screamed abuse at me and our staff before being ejected by the bar’s employees. After being ejected, the man remained outside the bar, shouting my name and pounding on the side of the bar near where I was sitting for several minutes. The same individual, in December 2023, stalked me on a plane and in an airport, shouting at me about my ‘tainted bloodline.’
”I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me. All of that is core to democracy. I also have no issue when people talk to me on the street and ask questions or express opposition. That’s democracy, even when the people engaging in this conduct misrepresent my views.
“But when opposition and disagreement transition to harassment, including cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line. We’re living in a time when violence is all too often threatened or used against people in public life. In San Francisco, we’re better than that.”
I dunno - seems like @SpeakerJohnson seems fine with his Republican-led Congress abdicating its duty to be a co-equal check on the executive branch 🤷🏾
Some “constitutionalist” he is, am’irite?
Johnson: If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all impeachment's not even the big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the The cabinet, his donors and friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.
Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Focus on building the party you actually support.
Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.
Man the state of South Carolina really dodged a bullet with this one…
Maybe it’s the staff though, maybe they don’t know better…I’d like to hope the elected isn’t that stupid, BUT…these days…
Animals should not be used for radical transgender experiments.
This is not science. This is ideological cruelty paid for by the American taxpayers.
Our TRANS MICE Act ends it. No federal funds may be used to conduct, support, or fund research aimed at altering an animal's biological sex.
No hormones. No surgeries. No taxpayer dollars spent mutilating animals in the name of transgender ideology.
This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
It’s not constitutional to nullify the electoral college through the back door.
Even so, imagine if presidential elections were purely a popular vote — we’d be waiting for a month for California to count the votes!
No thank you.
As the Sen continues to debate crypto legislation, it must include ethics provisions that ensure no elected official or their families (POTUS) should be allowed to make money off the policies they are writing and regulating @SenAlexPadilla@SenAdamSchiff

Because…maybe the Obama deal didn’t give away the house…?
I think we have a really stupid, VP, too, tbh…Marco Rubio must really hate being there amongst such idiots in that WH.
Vance: I would say Obama, why in the world, of it's the same thing, why is it that the gulf Arabs hated your deal and they love our deal? He should acknowledge that the people who are closest to this, they love the Trump deal. They hate the Obama deal. And that is maybe the biggest endorsement of this plan.
Cruz: If the Democrats take the House, it will be nonstop impeachment. If they take the Senate, they will shut down every confirmation for every cabinet member and judge.
EVERY election we hear the same ole tired whining about how long it takes California to verify and count ballots as if it hasn’t been like that for years.
Like, get over it. California likes to get it right, and no amount of “fraud” fear mongering is going to change it.
