At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Mayor Mamdani holds up bananas with a 30% off sticker on them. Shelves of produce and canned goods, all with 30% off stickers on them. New Yorkers clap at the press conference announcing the 30% discount for municipal grocery stores.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

We eliminated measles, then resurrected it through ignorance. Nothing says “freedom” like bringing back a disease modern medicine already defeated. U.S. Measles case just reached a 35 year HIGH, for the second record breaking year in a row. Send your thank you cards to: RFK Jr. 1313 Dumbass Lane

WHOA!! Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA) just STRUCK a person asking him a simple question about rural hospital closures. Reporter: Do you still think rural hospital closures are a myth? Nunn: I said I'm with a constituent. You should protect their privacy! *SMACK*

Congress is back in session and here are 3 things you need to know: 🗳️Johnson tries to ram voter suppression bill through budget reconciliation. 💸 Trump’s illegal war in Iran has cost Americans billions. 💳 This “privacy” bill just protects the gun lobby and doesn’t save lives.

Texas AG Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he didn't live while voting in 6 elections in the past 2 years, violating election laws... ...maybe someone should look into potential mortgage fraud, since GOP is happy targeting Trump's foes on that. https://bit.ly/4vPC0lM

Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law.

The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent yo...

What a total failure of leadership. Gas prices are surging again and apparently the peace deal is in tatters and our servicemembers are still in harm's way to fight a war the American people do NOT support. Every Republican who voted to continue this war owns this failure.

Q: Is the ceasefire over? Is the MOU dead? TRUMP: I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. Do you know what scum is? They're led by sick people. They're vicious, violent people. They're liars. They're cuckoo

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office. Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.

It should also be noted that Glusenkamp Perez is one of the Dems that regularly votes for anti-trans legislation. She voted for a bill that, if enacted, would basically make it illegal to acknowledge the existence of trans people in schools (meaning trans students and trans teachers are SOL)

Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."
