Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

I find it improbable as a matter of basic biology and physics that Trump is physically capable of "screwing" anyone or anything right now, but there can be very little doubt he's making an effort to decompose in her direction.

Ding Ding Ding!

ICE can’t be reformed. What voters are we courting by being weak on this issue? Do we have some massive Dem donor that owns concentration camps or something?

Only way an outcome like this happens is if people, especially people in the metro, don't go out and vote in Tuesday's primary. Make a plan. Vote!

The framing of these Democratic primaries by many news orgs is "how did the party let these radicals take over?" instead of "what is going on in the country and the world that leads so many people to vote this way?"

Pete Hegseth just blocked the promotions of seven senior Navy officers — five of whom are women or people of color — to two-star admiral rank. For the first time in more than a decade, no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year.
