I’ve been promoting the role of early Black Americans paving the the road to birthright citizenship for more than 20 years; today it mattered more than most. It’s been an honor to support the teams at the ACLU and the LDF Fund along with their clients in this work. hub.jhu.edu/2026/06/30/s...

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Republicans: the party of crybabies and whiners.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Thank you McDonalds for hiring those facing federal job losses. Every family deserves to earn a living and that’s why we raised our minimum wage in Virginia to $15 an hour.

Democrats should be introducing articles of impeachment now and forcing Republicans to say no. Yes, it won't work. But at least force those fuckers to defend this shit to the public. I don't know what else to say at this point.

I’m sorry, if you’re a journalist and you’re still going to the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck off.

Journalists plan to make a subtle but pointed statement with their attire at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, Status has learned, as Donald Trump prepares to attend for the first time. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/whcd-first...

The PBS News Hour used the same language: "House rejects DHS funding." Excuse me journos, the House didn't reject it. Johnson blocked a vote. Because he knew it would pass. ithttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/27/us/trump-news?unlocked_article_code=1.WlA.r6KP.YjC61Y4H37H7&smid=url-share

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Media: Please stop saying Trump is placing tariffs against countries. He's placing tariffs on IMPORTS from those countries. We're paying the tariffs.

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

This was one of the most ridiculous stories I've ever seen on the News Hour. Early returns, though, are showing that there is no idiotic Republican story that @elizlanders.bsky.social isn't willing to report on in detail.

🗽LOLGOP🗽@thefarce.org · 7mo ago

The NewsHour is consistently helpful and vital. But this opens with one of the worst "both sides" distortions of the news I've ever seen.

Face the facts here. Republicans aren’t serious about health care. Republicans have never been serious about health care. They have no plan. Not even a ‘concept of a plan.’ All they know is what they’re against: Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care.

This is correct, completely correct, and anyone doing factionalist division of our big anti-Trump affordability and dignity tent can GTFO

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 9mo ago

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Perfect example of Beltway media unable to see any issue in other than "horse race" terms. Thank you Sen Kaine.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

If we're talking canaries in coal mines, why does it almost never come up that the Trump Regime is actively prosecuting A MEMBER OF CONGRESS for doing her job? Could it be because she's a Black woman?

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 11mo ago

Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City on Saturday and called on his party’s leadership to do the same, criticizing them for a delay that he said allowed President Trump to exploit Democratic divisions.
