@RahmEmanuel is the reason healthcare costs are surging. As Obama’s chief of staff, he killed the public option, which could have given millions access to affordable healthcare. As Chicago Mayor he attacked the teachers union who wanted better pay and benefits. He is an unapologetic Zionist and war Mongre. Dems like Emanuel are the reason we have Trump.
Trump defying? Give me a break. He is supported by AIPAC and the billionaires who are the prime contributors to Trump, the MAGA pols and the insurrectionists. For 4 yrs, he never said a word vs the extremist Israeli regime which has exterminated 100,000 Gazan women an children, denying them food and medicine just like the Nazi. Siege of Leningrad, and committed unspeakable war crimes.
Goldman’s complicity in genocide caused 14 million Biden 2020 voters to NOT vote for Harris and is the prime reason Trump was elected. Goldman and his fellow pro Netanyahu Dem bosses GAVE US TRUMP, no matter how much they claim to be anti-Trump. And the highly informed voters of NY10 know this quite well.
@bradlander is the true labor candidate, the candidate who has walked countless picket lines, passed NYC laws to give rights to fast food workers, sided with NYC union retirees who successfully resisted changes of their health benefits to a medicare advantage plan, supports the NY Health Act single payer legislation, & much more.
Goldman, by contrast, is a multi-million dollar heir to the Levy Strauss fortune, the company that closed all its U.S. factories, laid off all its American workers and moved production to non-union, slave wage sites in Mexico, China, e al. He claims to be vs the union buster scab Trump, but his pro-AIPAC, pro-genocide, blind support of military aid to the Netanyahu extremists running Israel cost the Dems the 2024 election and led to Trumps reign of terror vs American workers.
The attacks on @grahamformaine Plattner are primarily coming not from Republicans but from the Democratic Establishment: the pro Zionist, corporate, neo-con, genocide complicit party "leaders" like Schumer, Hakeem and the Clintons and their MSM parrots. They have lost 2 national elections to Trump by installing "centrists" nominees. Their main "enemies" are Progressives like Bernie and AOC. They rather lose to the right wing Maga GOP then share power with leaders of their progressive base who inspire young and motivated voters.
They have betrayed their own Party and Country.
@bradlander@danielsgoldman Congrats Brad on your brilliant debate performance. Goldman was stiff as a board and his attempt to suddenly be concerned with the struggles of ordinary working people was totally disingenuous.
And you said and did nothing for 4 yrs except root on the extermination of innocent women and children in Gaza, profit from investments in war contractors re wars you supported and failed to support the winner of the Democratic Party Mayoral Primary. This while your opponent, @bradlander , was roughed up and arrested by Ice as he tried to defend those same immigrants who appeared at the courthouse and now you suddely support.
Absolutely shameless.
Complete BS from Goldman. The voters in CD10 are not stupid. They know that a guy who inherited 250 million from the Levi jeans company, which closed all their domestic factories, stranding American workers, and moved them to places like China and Mexico, where non Union workers were paid a pittance, is not “pro labor”.
They also know that the guy who roots on and profits from war and Israeli Genocide, supports AIPAC & continued military aid to the Zionist Netanyahu gov’t, and is responsible for Trump’s union busting admin when voters turned off to Dem’s complicity in all, is nothing more than a scab and a hypocrite.

Video from last night in Monroe NY,
The message was unmistakable:
“We oppose and have no part in Zionism and State of israel”
Not fringe. Not small.
Today, SCOTUS finished off the Voting Rights Act, in a decision written by that neo Nazi Alito, who has led the quarter century assault by the Court on our democracy. Highlights include:
1.Handing the 2000 presidential election to Bush the Lesser, the loser of the electoral and popular votes.
2. Issuing the disastrous Citizen United "Corporations are People" decision which allows the billionaires to purchase elections.
3. Proclaiming that gerrymandering for partisan advantage is perfectly OK, even if allows the minority party to win the majority of House seats.
4. In a series of decisions culminating today, gutting the Voting Rights Act to now be useless.
5. Allowing states to restrict access to voting by requiring impossible levels of I.D., closing polling sites in Dem districts, forbidding given voters in 5 hr lines any water, etc (although Musk can pay voters to vote).
What was a very imperfect but precious system of voting is now a dictatorship of the minority, and that's why we have a minority party which waives the Constitution to allow rule by a monster.
Nice work SCOTUS. You did what the Jan. 6th mob failed to do.
Cuba's President Diaz-Canel: "Are we a threat, or are we a threat by example?"
"When Maduro was kidnapped, those who fought back were Cubans. 32 of them held back a Delta Force unit... despite being massively outnumbered."
"We are in difficult times, yes, but we are also in times that demand definition.
And here, on this island, the courage of a people is defined -- a people that would rather die on their feet than live on their knees."
Like the ending of the Godfather I, Trump is going after all his perceived and self-designated enemies, foreign and domestic, at the same time: Venezuela, Cuba, Nigeria, Spain, Denmark/Greenland, Canada, POC, Prosecutors, Blue States, Progressives, and, of course, the main targets: Iran and Immigrants. What is one of the obvious omissions from that list? North Korea. I wonder what sets them apart.
@elonmusk The will of the people is also to:
1. No war in Iran ;
2. Medicare for All
3. Raise the minimum wage
4. Real right to be in a union
5. Majority rule
6. Rich folks paying fair share of tax
That's reassuring. This is only what we purchased with our regular yearly $1 trillion war budget (which we transport back and forth around the country) and not with the money needed for our new war. If prior wars are a guide (about 12 yrs in Vietnam and 20 yrs in Afghanistan) that's the range we are looking at with Iran until Netanyahu gives us permission to surrender.
@tedcruz Spoken by the guy who supported the Jan. 6th Maga failed coup to overturn our election and who runs off to Mexico everytime his state faces a disaster. Sen. Cruz: the only one who hates America is you.
So here we have Oman’s foreign minister saying Iran had agreed to zero enriched-uranium stockpiling and was on the brink of a real breakthrough, and within hours the US and Israel launched massive strikes.
Let’s be honest: this wasn’t ever about peace or uranium, it was about indulging Bibi Netanyahu’s ambitions, and Donald Trump got played like a fool......
@ScottJenningsKY Didn't that same "credible intelligence" invent the myth of the WMD in Iraq used to invade that country? Trillions squandered and millions of casualties resulted in permanent war. Really, you guys have to come up with some other lie as some of us have taken notice.
The DNC Autopsy of the 2024 election is in but the Dem bosses don't like the results and won't release it. Biden's complicity in the Gaza genocide and Harris' refusal to part with it led to her loss, the loss of the Senate and the Trump Regime. Trump was allowed to run as the "Peace Candidate" and we have got nothing but War - on the entire world and on the American People. And Netanyahu - the top terrorist in the world and fugitive war criminal - now runs U.S. foreign policy while his agent - AIPAC - runs Congress.
RELEASE THE AUTOPSY NOW.
