Mamdani: *Coughs* It’s just a bad cough.

Garcia-Navarro: Have you had it checked out?

Mamdani: I have. That’s why I believe in Medicare for All. Everyone can check it out.

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us.

He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan!

I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.

Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.

We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.

That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do.

That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap.

Here’s some of what we found.

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it.

Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard.

Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that.

Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it.

That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City.

If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message.

Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.

I’m gonna save this for when it happens.

A man at our town hall asked if love was too weak for this moment. 

I told him: “My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe. A new kind of politics is possible.”

And then it was proven in real time…

I’ve seen the video.

Don’t believe this propaganda machine.

The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.

You need to understand these people know exactly how badly they are hurting people and they love it. It’s sick.

@SpeakerJohnson In Speaker Mike Johnson’s home state of Louisiana
60% births
74% nursing home residents
56% kids
65% kids with special needs
46% state population
rely on Medicaid.

House Republicans just voted to slash it so billionaires get another tax break.

Priorities.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The fact that all these Republican lawmakers are running around trying (& often, failing) to get specific carve outs in their own bill so THEIR community isn’t subject should tell you all you need to know.

If they think it’s so great, why don’t they want it as-is for themselves?
