I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Too bad Dems won't do daily press briefings from the Capitol on par with White House press briefings. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. About 7,000 reporters have House and Senate press gallery credentials.

Trump says he has banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House and says more bans are coming.

In case you were wondering why Donald Trump has ordered Pete Hegseth to scale back war exercises with our “ally” South Korea against North Korea: As usual, it comes down to Donald being Putin’s pet monkey.

U.S. Naval Forces Central Command is now denying our reporting about shortages of feminine hygiene products aboard the USS Boxer. We’ve seen these same blanket denials for months about the dire conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Our reporting was right then. It is right now. 1/

NEWS: Trump says he has ordered Pete Hegseth to “substantially reduce” joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises, citing his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump says he is helping North Korea because South Korea refused to join his failed war against Iran.

What a twisted set of values to trash honest people in the military who are undergoing a harrowing experience—all to protect a lying draft dodger whose incompetence directly caused their untenable circumstances.

This will shock absolutely no one, but today on Meet the Press, Attorney General Todd Blanche refused to pledge that he would always act independently of the White House. The Justice Department has already pursued investigations or prosecutions involving a growing list of Trump’s political

Mothership, End Citizens United, and Progressive Turnout Project—all of whom relentlessly pummel my phone because their data-scraping flagged me as a Dem donor—are fascist saboteurs. What else would you call entities that drain >80% of donations intended for Democrats?

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Should the Mayor of New York City attend the 9/11 remembrance because he's the Mayor and he was in fact in NYC on 9/11? Or should a handful of bigots get a veto they are raising in bad faith so they can also criticize the Mayor for not going? Good of you to raise these questions, CNN. Tough call.

Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

As of 2026, the most divisive group within the Democratic Party is the pro-Netanyahu faction, which makes a point of adopting Republican attacks and validating them. Their position is that any opposition to Netanyahu is antisemitic—which includes the majority of American Jews.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

We're redesigning 175 bus routes, representing over 70% of all routes in New York City, and the voices and experiences of New Yorkers are at the forefront of our planning. I joined Brooklyn bus riders for a Fast Buses Town Hall to talk about how we're making buses fast and improving service.

ICE has decided it’s now going to attack the global press, including the Associated Press (AP), because they are reporting the truth. This administration will stop at nothing to prevent the press from telling Americans what’s actually happening.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society.  And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that

Well, this isn’t going to be good. We all know how this will likely go. The Supreme Court has announced that one of the first cases it will hear when its new term begins in October is a major climate change lawsuit. Boulder County, Colorado, is seeking millions of dollars from fossil fuel
