Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
Pramila Jayapal told Jessica Gorman, a grieving mother whose daughter was murdered by an illegal alien, another hearing on the sanctuary policies she supports was a waste of her time.
Sheridan Gorman should still be with us today, but because of politicians like Pramila who protect these violent illegal aliens at all costs, she is not.
Remember this the next time the Left claims to care about your children. THEY DON'T.
🚨 Sheridan Gorman's father is absolutely TORCHING Democrats on stage with Trump
"I'm not a politician. I'm not a public speaker.
I'm a father whose daughter was MURDERED by an illegal."
"I'm a husband who had to hold his wife on Mother's Day when she asked the question no mother should ever have to ask: "am I still the mother of two?"
"Yes, Jess, you're still the mother of two because Sheridan will always be our daughter. No mother should ever have to ask that question, and no father should ever have to answer it. This is what FAILED POLICIES have done to our family."
"NO FAMILY should have to become experts in immigration failures, release policies, warrants, sanctuary laws, enforcement breakdowns because their daughter was KlLLED by someone who should NOT have been here, and should NOT be free."
@JackPosobiec@StpdMcStupidson It did show that his liberal political activism separated him from his father. The catch he ultimately had with his father revealing what really mattered. This captured the romantic nature of baseball in American culture for families. Reconciliation in there too.
It took Zohran Mamdani less than 50 days to prove once again that the hallmark of elected Leftists is their complete inability to govern.
As literally anyone with a brain pointed out, he was never going to be able to raise taxes to fund his wish list because a tax hike would require the approval of the NY State Legislature.
So now, he wants a $127B budget-- most of which doesn't go to improving the city-- but useless things like the "office of racial equity."
And he can't fund it without raiding NYC's reserve funds and raising property taxes-- something that isn't going to make the city "affordable" like he promised.
Running for office on the promise to tax billionaires to pay for a lot of free stuff sounds great in theory-- but unfortunately government isn't a limitless credit card.
This is blue city governance at its finest: Overpromising and underdelivering... Every single time.

@tedcruz The numbers are 2x the prior year for each year provided. Feels like the department had a clear goal for each year and vetting would only get in the way of that.
