I don't talk about this a lot online due to the stigma but I've been approved for a stay at a residential mental health center where I'll be staying for a couple weeks.

I can stay up to a month depending on my treatment plan and now I'm on a waiting list for a bed to become available.

It's been a long time coming and I've been needing to do this for over a year so this is all voluntary and planned by my psychiatrist and me for some time now. I have a new dissociative disorder that I need to get help for so I'm nervous but ready.

So within the next couple weeks I'll be taking a step back from posting and focusing on treatment whenever that time comes.

My statement on Marsha Blackburn's refusal to debate:

I don't need Marsha Blackburn to give me a platform. I already have one. 

The people of Tennessee gave me that when they made me the nominee, an election I won by nearly 70% compared to Marsha who got merely 43% of her own party.

The truth is she doesn’t want to stand on a debate stage because she can’t tell you what policies she stands for.

She doesn’t want to take the questions because she thinks she only has to answer to her dark money donors.

She doesn’t want to have voters see she has nothing to offer besides culture war talking points, not plans for everyday Tennesseans. But the voters see through this. 

And they see her for what she is - a coward. 

So, I’ll still be there. I’ll still be answering the questions voters have. After all, this is a job interview. Just looks like I’m the only one showing up.

Watching Mayor Mamdani show up for his city today, in the face of so much hate, and stand alongside individuals who have said the most vile things about him, is remarkable.

A man of the people.

Truly America’s Mayor. 🇺🇸

How bad is this? Potentially quite bad

25 years ago, 73 workers went to Windows on the World for the breakfast shift, and never came home.

We honor these workers and the nearly 3,000 who lost their lives on 9/11. And we remember that in the face of unimaginable tragedy, New Yorkers answered with solidarity.

The way my heart breaks for him having to endure all the bs thrown his way the last few weeks leading up to today.

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

Smiling and laughing with a colleague is illegal if you’re a democrat

[ella devi @ellad3vi]

eyewitnesses say that aoc was just greeting mayor mamdani, and that multiple other politicians were doing the same. both republicans and democrats. but your turn! ted cruz, why did you like twitter porn on the 16th anniversary of 9/11

[John Asbury @JohnAsbury]

Mayor Mamdani is taking picture and hugging family members following today’s 9/11 ceremony

[grizzy @Furbeti]

The Epstein files are apparently such a dangerous topic that asking about them gets a journalist removed from the Republican Midterm Convention within nine minutes.

[Winter @LeftyWinter]

Let's go win Florida!

Vote for Angie Nixon for Senate.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

@AOC came to Florida and reminded folks of something we’ve been saying all along: watch the work. I’ve spent years organizing, building power, and helping people win up and down the ballot. I’m grateful to have her in our corner. 🩷

[PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 @patriottakes]

Aide to Rudy Giuliani dispels MAGA narrative that claimed that AOC and Mamdani were laughing during the 9/11 memorial today

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

A Rudy Giuliani aide (lifelong Republican) dispels the clip of @ZohranKMamdani and @AOC at a 9/11 ceremony currently blowing up in right wing fever swamps online👇🏽

[Zara Rahim @ZaraRahim]

Ted Cruz asking how anyone could experience pleasure on 9/11 is certainly a choice

[Tara Palmeri @tarapalmeri]

I was removed from the Republican Midterm Convention with three Epstein survivors after interviewing a congressional candidate about the files.

We were escorted out, and our credentials were revoked.

The full exchange and the moment we were walked out are on my Substack now, uncut (link in bio). More on YouTube today.

[🌿Astrapricity🌿 @Astrapricityyy]

Apparently you can’t smile when greeting people you know at events! I’ve literally laughed when talking to people at my siblings funeral… that’s how you interact with other human beings btw

[Ben Yelin @byelin]

Glad to see this. I'm not even a huge Mamdani fan, but the attacks on him today, framing everything he does in the most unfairly way possible, is just beyond the pale and ridiculous.
