Americans are struggling. Cancelling food stamps for the lowest income Americans, because of the shutdown, is literally kicking them while they are down. Restore food stamp funding. Now!

Gloria Steinem endorses Mamdani on Instagram: "Campaigns like Zohran Mamdani’s give me hope. Like a tree and like movements, his campaign has grown from the ground up." (She endorsed Maya Wiley in 2021.)

If Zohran had cancelled on a synagogue town hall like this, there would be a NYT story about his disrespect of the Jewish people. One candidate has spent the last mamy months talking to Jewish NYers-listening and learning-even when it's hard. And it's not Andrew Cuomo

Well said: Cuomo’s vision for NYC isn’t about ideas or purpose. It has no philosophy, no cause, no promise of what he will do. It’s about making NYers afraid of Zohran Mamdani. Because he’s young. Because his ideas are new. And now, most shamefully, because he’s a Muslim NYer.

Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor. Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families. #shutdown2025

The thing about the groyperfication of the GOP is that practically every single major American Jewish institution dedicated to fighting antisemitism has spent the past two years enabling the far right because of the Gaza genocide.

This line was removed from the original version of the story: “A day after the event...DeRosa mentioned the status of the club and that hundreds of millions of dollars in Cornell were on the line" 5 more days to get rid of this kind of petty nastiness once and for all.

This is a historical moment, and every Jew should watch this. The Heritage Foundation is the intellectual cornerstone of the Republican Party, and here it embraces Fuentes as a legitimate part of right-wing discourse. The pretense of Nazism being unacceptable on the right (it

Good morning. If there was ever a Halloween hangover, it’s waking up on November 1st to the do-nothing GOP Congress having canceled SNAP benefits for millions of Americans. Reminder: Most SNAP beneficiaries are kids & seniors. Of the rest, most work in crappy private sector

Who can forget in 2013 when, after Bill de Blasio decisively won the primary, Bill Thompson kept campaigning on his self-created independent ballot line and railed against de Blasio as a communist. It's pretty remarkable de Blasio still got 72%. True savant.
