Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

This is the story of how a group of perfectly ordinary neighbors took on one of the worst landlords in New York. And won. Introducing, the Union of Pinnacle Tenants: the short film. Watch the full film: youtu.be/h5dvGKI26ZA

Gov. Katie Hobbs of Arizona, who is running for re-election, plans to tap John Giles, a longtime Republican and former mayor of a Phoenix suburb, as her running mate. Hobbs would not confirm the choice, and nothing is final until an official announcement. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...

Just so everyone knows, by confirming Todd Blanche, this means that Trump can become a full-blown dictator. GOP Congress has said they will do absolutely nothing to stop Trump. Todd Blanche says he will do anything that Trump asks. The 6-3 Supreme Court is corrupt. All we have left are lower courts.

Happy birthday, President Obama!

Happy birthday to Obama! He will always be the better man… And president.

Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"

Todd Blanche told me privately that he “made a mistake” creating the MAGA slush fund. I asked him about it under oath. And he lied to Congress. His willingness to casually lie under oath shows how far he will go to avoid offending his only boss: Donald Trump.

We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

On the @johnfugelsang.bsky.social Show, @davidjolly.bsky.social said the Republican Party co-opted the church, convincing many Christians to rely on politics as a crutch instead of faith. He argued that churches should change hearts, not government.
