Shocker! AIPAC’s Super PAC publicly reveals it is funding the Super PAC backing Adriano Espaillat over @DarializaforNY

And another $750k to EDW Action, whose sister PAC, which it shares money with, is spending to back Diana DeGette over Melat Kiros.

(This is not shocking)

It’s this baseline variety of corruption within the centrist wing of the Dem Party that makes it difficult to politicize Trumps blatant thievery.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Congats to the 22-year-old son of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for raising $30 million on his new company with a $300m valuation.

His prior work -- as a Senate intern and then in the Congress Influence department at Andreessen, Horowitz -- is a testament to our meritocracy!🇺🇸

[Melat Kiros for Congress, CO-1 @MelatKirosCO]

I am so proud to earn the endorsement of US Senator Bernie Sanders! Bernie’s been on the front lines fighting for M4A and getting corporate money out of politics for decades.

That movement is real in Denver, it’s alive in this race, and I plan to carry that fight to Congress.

NEW YORK: Tonight, Knicks fans across our city will come together at Plaza 33 outside MSG, Radio City Music Hall, and Wollman Rink to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals. My administration is proud to work with the Knicks to support these watch parties.

As we celebrate, be responsible, look out for one another, stay safe, be smart, and make this a night that reflects the very best of our city.

Let's go Knicks.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Big banks denied entire communities the opportunity to buy homes, start small businesses, and build financial security right here in our City for generations. In response, Ponce Bank was founded in the 1960's to give Puerto Rican New Yorkers the opportunity to build wealth.

Today, alongside @NYCComptroller and @nycfinance, we announced that we are depositing $20 million into Ponce Bank branches in Inwood and the Bronx to directly increase access to capital for working people.

Government should invest directly into people and neighborhoods. So that’s exactly what we’re doing.

I think you were the only network that missed a portion of the game because you were still stuck at commercial break, so you’re right

Nobody does it like FOX

“Perceived to have criminal ties” so no actual criminal ties huh

[Vic Damone Jr @wholesomefoxx]

They’re all reading from the same script

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

They literally came back there with play already started, a joke

Fox Sports was playing so many commercials during the hydration break that the game restarted before they were done. Enough, man. Stop this fucking nonsense.

[Zealand @theoldzealand]

Just saw my first hydration break commercial and I think I’m ready to be radicalized

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

DC elites want to create this centrifugal force of "scandal after scandal" to push Platner out of the race, but all they're doing is cementing his outsider status in a rural state that values independence more than partisanship. The very disconnect that's kept Collins in power.

[Greg Krieg @GregJKrieg]

This person is a consultant who’s worked with Jake Auchincloss, Ritchie Torres and DMFI — might be worth noting here!

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

All the reports from the Platner rally, plus the videos circulating, show a raucous crowd and multiple standing ovations. The NYT calls it “relatively sedate.”

If you get your news from the Times, stop being stunned when events don’t turn out the way you think they will.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

The fact that the most bloodthirsty Zionist mouthpieces, from Van Jones to Fetterman, are running with similar narratives about this tabloid trash should tell you all you need to know about it. This is a hit piece, motivated by Platner's strong stance on cutting aid to Israel.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

She told the Times she “had not been active with the organization recently.”

She was active with them in mid-April. This is actually correction worthy.

[Pop Detective @PopDetective]

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.

He's just explaining legal tax evasion schemes that only the extremely wealthy can use
