To Senator McMorrow, her family, her staff, and her supporters: thank you for the work you did for democracy.

The same party insiders she had the courage to challenge have been bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate.

I welcome her supporters to our movement to stand up against money in politics, to put money back in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. We cannot allow the establishment to decide our nominee for us.

Republicans don't own July 4th.

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

Absolutely chilling words from Jack Smith:

“I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime".

Remember, this man saw firsthand how corrupt and crooked Trump was.

People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…

An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.

Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸

Women should be able to walk our streets without being subjected to harassment, intimidation or abuse.

Tackling catcalling sends a clear message that this behaviour isn't harmless - it's unacceptable ⬇️ https://t.co/CKFEcY9RTd

I know very little about basketball but I do know a bit about public speaking and I can say without any hyperbole that @ZohranKMamdani is one of the greatest public speakers alive on planet earth right now.

Chills.

John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.

It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Those of us who agreed with Jill Biden's actual assessment (i.e., people who could see and hear) were told by the Bidens and the campaign and the online dead-enders that we were all wildly overreacting and that his debate performance was fine -- even good!
