Fucking insane that ICE is spraying bullets into a car with a five year old child inside. Some real IDF shit

IGOR SHESTERKIN

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

No one should be shot in the back and denied urgent medical care.

The shooting of Venezuelan DoorDash driver Wilber Garcés Pérez by ICE in Austin demands a full investigation.

Abolish ICE. Prosecute rogue agents.

Newsom used his political muscle to:

-Allow Trump’s ally, the billionaire Ellison family, to own CBS, CNN & TikTok along with Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar

-Oppose a 5% billionaire wealth tax

-Kill Medicare for All in CA

-Veto an AI kill switch

A bed made by the Oligarchs.

Not only did Netanyahu commit genocide in Gaza. Now he's threatening Israeli filmmakers who exposed it with criminal charges and attempting to strip citizenship from anyone who "defames" soldiers.

NO MORE U.S. TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR THE EXTREMIST NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT IN ISRAEL

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

since becoming president again, Trump has promised:
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
-$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms
no checks have been issued

Democrats, take note. This is how we win 🌊

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year.

The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to massive savings nationwide.

More accessible care would also lead to numerous lives saved.

Money out of politics.
Money in your pocket.
Medicare for All.

Michigan...

We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu: I need $12 billion
Trump: Approved

Elon Musk: SpaceX needs $4.16 billion
Trump: Approved

Jeff Bezos: Amazon needs $17.5 billion
Trump: Approved

Top 1%: We need a $1 trillion tax cut
Trump: Approved

Average Joe: My wife has cancer. Can we get Medicaid?
Trump: Denied

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

LESSONS FROM THE ELECTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY

Last night, voters across New York delivered a powerful message: the era of status quo politics is over.

From Buffalo to Queens, grassroots candidates ran bold campaigns focused on the struggles facing working people and won decisive victories. Not only did Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier win their Congressional primaries, but progressives won downballot as well. Adam Bojak, Christian Celeste Tate, Eli Northrup, Illapa Sairitupac, Samantha Kattan, Eon Huntley, Diana Moreno and David Orkin all won their New York state assembly races, while Aber Kawas and Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas won their State Senate races.

These victories occurred despite the fact that Super PACs funded by AIPAC, the crypto industry, AI and other billionaire-backed groups have spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressive candidates and crush a movement that threatens their economic and political power.

They happened because ordinary people knocked on doors, made phone calls, organized in their communities, and demanded a government that works for working families instead of wealthy campaign donors.

The American people — in New York and all across this country — are tired of a rigged economy that allows the very rich to become richer while working families struggle to afford housing, health care, child care and education. They are tired of a political system dominated by wealthy donors and corporate interests. And they are tired of billionaires and their Super PACs attempting to buy our elections.

Last night showed that when working people stand together, organize, and fight back, they can defeat establishment politicians and enormous amounts of money and political influence.

We’re making progress. The task before us now is to build on that momentum.

If Democrats regain control of Congress next year, they must listen to the people who put them in office. Status quo establishment policies are not enough. We must be bold.  We must take on Oligarchy. We must represent working families and create a government that works for all, not just the few.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
