HUGE: Zohran Mamdani just won a $131.5 million settlement from DoorDash after finding the tech giant underpaid 260,000 delivery workers for years.

establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative

“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you…”
NEW: Multiple ICE warehouses were sold by people in Trump's circle who were sitting on the properties and losing money.
We dug into it, and found that some properties were bought by the feds for 10x their list price.
It's a new level of corruption — and you're paying for it.
“I’d go to a restaurant and they’d point at me & say that ni**er can’t eat here. We’d go to a hotel & they’d say that ni**er can’t sleep here.”
Listen to Reggie Jackson—& remember that 30+ states have or are trying to criminalize teaching this history.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just betrayed every fan who’s been exploited by Ticketmaster.
This fine is less than 1% of Live Nation’s revenue last year AND lets them continue to rip off fans with a 15% “Ticketmaster Tax." It's wrong.
We need to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
