Today was awesome! I got to speak on a panel about @NYCCFB public funding program on the @ZohranKMamdani campaign. Then karaoked with my friends at @NGPVAN@mywarchest@MoveOn. Philly is the best.
Here are my local Philly recs to the @Netroots_Nation! https://t.co/eUIwJa0GDZ
Exclusive | WASHINGTON โ The top spokesman for Mayor Mamdani raked in more than $50,000 for political consulting work on Maine Senate Democratic candidate Graham Platnerโs campaign right up until he started at City Hall in January. https://t.co/d7KMVd5BF7
The only senate candidate I know talking about the most important issue of our time: money in politics. Letโs get it out now.
He doesnโt have billionaires and party bosses funding his pockets. He is funded by grassroots donations. https://t.co/Fc19gn1I6b
Citizens United is the worst Supreme Court decision in modern history. Your vote should not be drowned out by the Epstein Billionaire Class. I support a constitutional amendment to overturn it.
There is nothing I am more excited about this week than giving my friends in DC recommendations for good Italian restaurants in South Philly for their team dinners. I'm so excited to see you all at @Netroots_Nation in Philly! Please come find me and my team from @SpruceStreetCo
Hey, this guy in Nebraska is a Union Steamfitter, Mechanic, and Independent running against one of the worst MAGA Republicans in the Senate. Pete Ricketts is the founder of TD Ameritrade. Dan is an Independent & doesnโt have the Dem $$ behind him. Pay attention to him!
Thankfully I spent the weekend spending time at my nieceโs dance recital. I still canโt believe how much sheโs grown in the last 7 years of her dancing and 4 years on her competition team. My sister, Emily would have been so proud of her if she were still with us. ๐ฆ๐ฉต #danceaunt
Until people release the moderate vs progressive media frame, itโs hard to grasp what is happening in the Dem party base. Itโs not moderates and progressives fighting. Itโs a brewing anti-establishment energy along with deep frustration Dems arenโt acting as an opposition party.
Lyman: Did you vote for Mayor Mamdani?
Voter: Yes, I did.
Lyman: What is one thing you like the mayor has done?
Voter: I think he has brought more integrity to the office. Eric Adams was crooked as hell and we want somebody honest.
A big hint as to who might be behind Real Change PAC: When you sign up to be on their email list you get an email from a Cavalry LLC domain.
That's a GOP firm co-founded by former Mitch McConnell chief of staff Josh Holmes
@Annie_Wu_22 Can we focus back on the fact that republicans actually coordinate and no one files complaints against them? They are actually breaking the law and you arenโt!
This morning we are introducing COGE โ the Commission on Government Efficiency.โจโจThis Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. โจโจNew Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.
@pennslinger I always tell people that Philadelphia is a capital D Democratic City, but not necessarily a progressive one. We have lots of work to do here.
Just to be clear, @CAPAction is a c4 that is no longer required to disclose their donors on 990 tax returns, not since 2019 thanks to Paul Ryan and the GOP. That is all.
Nonprofit compliance 101 y'all.
Everyone should disclose who is paying for their voice or tweets in the actual tweets.
Platner and Steyer campaigns should be transparent
And to be clear - no one pays for my tweets.
@LaVeterinarian@Annie_Wu_22 How is it dishonest? It's publicly disclosed she USED to work for the campaign and now she doesn't. She can tweet what she wants about whoever she wants.
@LaVeterinarian@TFTSAA@Wilson__Valdez She's not being paid by them anymore. She was months ago. Also there are lots of consultants who get paid to work on a campaign, and don't tweet about the clients they work for at all. Like I don't understand this argument it's nuts.
@TampaWoman1965@TFTSAA@Wilson__Valdez Not at all. I work with people I want to support and promote. I don't work with candidates I don't feel passionate about. But the issue here is Annie hasn't worked for the campaign in months. It's a ridiculous standard to think consultants who tweet about a client is "paid" for.
I'm emotional thinking about all of my NYC friends who will be able to afford living in New York for a while. Especially my friends who are actors, musicians, and artists. Keep creating and giving us joy and escapism. Proud to be on team @ZohranKMamdani
