Fuck it, run him again in 2028. He’s an old Jewish man from Brooklyn, turning 90 will just make him more powerful.

The American people spoke loudly and clearly on Tuesday. The new Democratic majority cannot continue the same old, same old establishment policies.
Working families want change, REAL change, and that’s what Democrats must deliver.

Morning Joe on Haley Stevens and Mike Rogers ties to Israel
Guest: Mike Rogers' staffers registered foreign agent for Israel... This is one of the questions around corruption.
It's not new that you would have someone with main character syndrome who reveals herself at the end to be in it for her. That is an ancient political dynamic.
...Whose country are we actually prioritizing and whether or not there is a 'there, there' around following the money into foreign interests.

El-Sayed: At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens. Because you know what? I'm just less interested in the politics of it all than I am in the policy of it all…
If you are somebody who believes that we should stand up to hate, and you have watched this last campaign, I think we probably would not want to support Mike Rogers and Donald Trump and JD Vance. If you're somebody who believes that we need more health care, not less than you probably don't want to vote for the guy who voted to raise prescription drug prices or keep them high 19 times and takes money from big pharma and big insurance. If you're somebody who believes in public education, you probably do not want to support the guy who architected the initial legislation in 1999 that ended up stripping local control from Detroit public schools and the local community. If you're somebody who believes that you should have a right to a union, you probably don't want to support the guy who busts unions. So I'm just saying that the principles that we believe in as Democrats are really quite clear. I stand for all of them.

Important op-ed from Fulton Houses TA leadership. I’ve heard from residents who have been waiting years for this project to move forward - including many who have already relocated in anticipation of new housing. We are committed to delivering the brand-new, safe housing that they deserve. cityandstateny.com/opinion/2…

Restaurant owners need faster outdoor dining approvals to cook up something great for our city streets. 🍝
An investigation from our office found the permit process often takes 19 months or more. Since outdoor dining is busiest in warmer months, these delays can mean missing one or even two years of peak seasons. 🗣️ We're calling on @NYC_DOT to stop leaving applicants on the back burner and address systemic issues to speed up the process.

In Austin, I visited a coffee shop tucked into a single-family neighborhood. It was a community hub where neighbors gathered over coffee and breakfast tacos.
We need more third spaces spaces like this to bring our rapidly fracturing society back together, not fewer…

One candidate called out Illitch directly while the other one had some ChatGPT response glazing the org….
Great boots on the ground journalism.
I reached out to Michigan Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers for their thoughts on the Detroit Red Wings.
Here's what they had to say:

genuinely in awe of how the tech fiefdoms sent all their best hype men to try to court the Holy See and the response was Leo staking his entire pontificate on waging a crusade against AI
Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.

I know this book better than the Pope knows the Bible.

Sam Seder: The Republican Party that existed before 2016 is not fundamentally different than it is today
What was the Moral Majority? What was the Tea Party? What was Q Anon? What was MAGA?
Everything in Project 2025 was percolating in the largest GOP think tanks for years.
There isn't this clean break that former Republicans want to pretend that there is.
