BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin just went on live TV and made clear that it is REPUBLICANS who have turned the government into an apparatus of retribution. Every time Republicans scream about RETRIBUTION, it's an admission. Make sure every American sees this.

🚨 BREAKING: Susie Wiles is OUT as White House Chief of Staff, and Trump is replacing her with Stephen Miller, the architect of his mass deportation agenda. Weeks ago Trump said there was "zero chance" he'd replace her. Then Republicans got crushed in the midterms. Now the most extreme person in the building runs it.

Another person down in my neighborhood after being hit by a motorized bike. But thank God @NYCCouncil banned those carriage horses going 3 miles an hour who have never hit anyone in 160 years! @SpeakerMenin was on top of that non-issue! This is her district, btw. @NYCMayor @TWULocal100 @transportworker @CentralParkNYC

The NYC ballot propositions, the creation of Transportation Alternatives now running DOT received the support of one million voters, many didn't know the full remifications of "fast tracking". But, there are 5.3 million registered voters in NYC. 20% registered voters support this

Thanks @Transalt @NYCCouncil for RUINING our streets and making it nearly impossible for emergency vehicles. Credit to the “ urban planners” for designing this HORROR SHOW and the money grubbing bike lobby. Blood on your hands!

Chris Christie UNLOADS on Vivek Ramswamy losing the Ohio governor’s race... “You not only have to question the judgement of a man who would take a woman — an elderly woman, out of the car she was living in out of the parking lot in a church in Pennsylvania with her cats and put her in front of a video camera, and make that a TV add in the gubernatorial race. We know what Vivek Ramswamy is, and voters have judged him as such. But here is the real problem going forward. J.D. Vance stood 100 percent with Vivek Ramaswamy. Not only as a person and a candidate, but he stood behind that advertisement. And Vivek Ramaswamy will be forgotten. He is going to be sent to the dustbin of history. But J.D. Vance is going to be remembered, I think, for this campaign, for more than anything else, David, that he stood by that ad, a man who wrote a book on Catholicism, stood behind that ad. It’s a disgrace.”

Brilliant message from Anne
The 2026 midterm elections didn't just determine who controls Congress for the next two years—they also determine whether the United States, 250 years after its founding, remains a democracy, @anneapplebaum says. She explores what citizens and lawmakers can do next to strengthen the institutions and values that have been threatened in the Trump era.
