The absolute most amazing thing about Mamdani is that instead of saying “socialism is about a revolution that will upend all things,” he’s obsessed with how the state can improve people’s lives in tangible ways they can see and feel.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

It’s easy to lose your faith in humanity, but every day, I have an interaction with a stranger that revives it. It’s why the right is obsessed with cities and "urban crime," statistics be damned. Multiculturalism and community connection is a threat to the fascist project.

History ❤️

Umpiring first base for Game 1 of today’s Marlins-Braves doubleheader, Jen Pawol has become the first woman to umpire in a regular-season MLB game.

I’ve written this a few times in the newsletter but Colorado is dying to support a winning baseball team.

Look at these fans, man. This team is 29-80. I really do hope to see the Rockies figure it out someday.

[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ @baseballhall]

Welcome to baseball immortality, Ichiro Suzuki.

[Christian Saez🎙 @DNVRSaez]

I’m never gonna root for this team to lose. This is my team. I WANT them to win every day.

But there is also a part of me that is actually impressed by the sheer absurdity of this. What we are witnessing is truly unprecedented.

Moore: I went to school every day and ate the crumbs and garbage off of kids’ plates.. We want to pay women to have children and we won’t feed the ones that we have

You know, God doesn't distribute intelligence based on people's income. Some of the smartest kids may be in that pool of the 17 million—and we’re going to kill their potential because they can't eat.

We've been pilloried and unjustly criticized for talking about the high cost of expanding the Child Tax Credit. But it's worth every dime. This is an investment in our future, in our kids.

We don’t have any “throwaway” kids. We don’t have any extra kids in this country. Every single child is precious. That’s the best investment: our children

Our editor laid himself off this week due to an impending cashflow shortage. We’re pretty devastated, and a little bit scared for the future of RANGE. https://t.co/Xic6WvKMx9

Rest in peace, Pope Francis.
Thank you for everything.

@Chuck_Nazty is rejoining the organization as Special Assistant to the General Manager.

[Jacob Cain @JacobCain7]

The People’s House needs to be more accessible to ordinary people, and this is a good first step. I hope you’ll join this bipartisan effort @RepBaumgartner.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

I raised this issue in 2014 when I was pregnant with my first daughter. It’s ridiculous that this still isn’t fixed.

Becoming a mom made me a better legislator.

Congress should be doing everything in its power to make it easier, not harder, for mom’s voices to be heard.

[Ryan Divish @RyanDivish]

Felix Hernandez was the most fascinating baseball player I’ve ever https://t.co/VRxND5edNK’s why I voted for him for all the Hall of Fame. And I will continue to do so in the years to come

The problem is not the H-1B guest worker from India or the tomato picker from Guatemala. The problem is the oligarchs who became billionaires by exploiting workers, suppressing wages & shipping jobs abroad. Billionaires want you to wage a culture war while they win the class war.

[ally @missmayn]

wait, so “delay, deny, depose” is a criminal threat if a civilian says it to a corporation but if a corporation uses it as an actual policy that kills people then it’s fine?

[Councilmber Paul Dillon @citycouncilpaul]

Some hits from 2024!

And a sneak peek at 2025.

Thank you Spokane!

[Eric Sorensen @ERICSORENSEN]

I will not vote for any member of Dem leadership until they commit 100% support for every LGBTQ+ person. We mustn’t omit vulnerable people because an opposing party vilified them in an election.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

In times when I need hope, I think about the students I've visited in classrooms across the country and the teachers that care about them.

That's where hope and our future lives.

[Aaron Baker (he/him) @bakerleft]

When the Republicans start closing all the public schools, you will find me teaching at the very last one. I am fighting for the future of public education, but preparing for the end of public education. #oklaed

[Sara Jacobs @SaraJacobsCA]

The Democratic Party needs to do some serious introspection to understand what went wrong and why our message isn’t resonating or reaching people. But one thing’s for sure — blaming trans kids isn’t the answer.
