This ad -- with a 77-year-old Warren, an 84-year-old Bernie, and an 80-year-old Markey -- makes it clear that Democrats' gerontocracy issue is as prevalent with progressives as it is in establishment corners.

[Majority Democrats @MajorityDems]

To win, Democrats need the best ideas, not the oldest ones.

In 2025, Rep. Angie Craig took on the establishment by challenging the 79-year-old chair of the House Agriculture Committee — and won.

That’s how we end the gerontocracy that’s killing Congress.

Mamdani: In a win for every ice cream lover across New York City, we will work with the state to do away with the frozen dessert permit that requires restaurants to seek out a superfluous second permit for what they’re already doing: serving food.

No more treat-sploitation, as we say.

Right now, barbershops need three licenses to cut hair: one to be a barber, one to own the shop, and one from the city on top of both.

The state of affairs is frankly anti-fade, and we will not stand for it, which is why we will work with the state to streamline these licenses as well.

And to the bingo enthusiasts out there, for too long, the potential earnings of a hot streak at bingo have been capped by arcane rules that no longer reflect how the game is actually being played.

With OPEN, DCWP will remove unnecessary regulations, including prize limits.

These are just a few of the improvements we are proud to announce today as we make it clear we are in the pocket of Big Abuela.

Fighting gerontocracy with democracy.

GOOD MORNING. Today, Majority Dems released our first video in a series on Democrats’ path forward.

If we want to do more than scrape by with 50%+1, we're going to have to change. That means new leadership, new expectations, and a focus on the future. Not the status quo.

@chyeaok so relatable. the first 10 minutes 😭😭😭

The President gave a wild speech, and unsurprisingly Michigan was a big part of it.

Here's what he claimed, what actually happened, how he's trying to make it harder for you to vote, and what you can do about it.

Most importantly - VOTE! Check your registration, view a sample ballot, and make a plan at https://t.co/4xL0kQNv9y

Thanks for the spotlight on our race @timodc! Couldn't agree more — Cory Mills is one of the worst, most corrupt members of Congress. We'll keep working hard to send him packing in November.

I propose that $1 billion of the United States federal budget be diverted to the protection and care of Jimothy.

AOC on a movie that made her cry

PabloReports: When’s the last time a piece of art—film, music, whatever—made you cry?

AOC: Okay, let me go with the worst time one made me cry. I was on an airplane watching… what is that movie? The one about aliens with a linguist? Arrival. With Amy Adams.

I was on a plane. I was literally going to a rally or something like that. This was a while ago. And I was watching Arrival on the plane.

I had no idea that it was that emotional. And I don’t even cry like that at movies.

On the plane, sobbing, dude. I had to put sunglasses on.

Then the movie ends as the plane is landing. They go, “Bing bong,” whatever—seatbelt sign, you can unplug it. So everyone’s standing up, and I’m like… I put the sunglasses on. It was so embarrassing.

But really good. Really, really good.

Arrival.

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX.

Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

The abuse the ex wife of the Maine ICE agent details in NPR interview is horrifying, including a 2022 police report of throwing his 13 year old daughter through a coffee table, a voice mail from last year saying her throat should be cut, and pulling a gun on her in the shower. She questions if ICE runs even a basic background check on recruits.

[Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet @repkmr]

Another case of Washington insiders using their positions to get rich. Let’s finally do something to stop it. I’ve got a bill to close the loopholes on insider trading once and for all.
