Just a periodic reminder that the Town of Islip has gerrymandered a Town council district map that reduces the town's 48% minority population into being chronically under-represented.

Look another point against Jay Jacobs
NYS Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs, a champion of moderation in the party, gives Schumer a vote of confidence over his decision not to go down the shutdown road

Be prepared for an eruption in base anger that Democrats have not really experienced in a long time if they give Republicans the votes for cloture. They are not happy with the direction the party is going, and it will be seen as a surrender to Trumpâs impounding of funds/DOGE

Voiceover: they will not, in fact, respect it.
Asked what Schumer would say to Dem voters who see his decision to advance the GOP funding bill and call for new leadership, Schumer said: "I think that people realize it's a tough choice, but realize I made the decision based on what I thought were the merits, and I think they

It was a mistake to give her a free road to re-election this cycle.
I can hear Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) speaking quite loudly inside the Senate Dem lunch. She seems to be making the case against allowing the government to shut down.

Republicans inherited one of the strongest stock markets in history and in 1 month they've fucked it all up.

Democrats need to take a page from the Kendrick Lamar school of winning 1. Make clear your visible hatred for your opponent 2. Attack your enemy and their friends 3. Bring up the crimes again and again 4. Collab with talented allies 5. Keep coming out with hits

So you told the other guy âwhat about your sideâ and he said ârules donât apply to usâ and so you said âfair enough, I still want you to punish my ally.â
I did indeed have a heated conversation with Speaker Johnson on the House floor after I voted yes to censure my colleague. I called Speaker Johnson out on his and his party's hypocrisy and reminded him of the many instances in which Republicans have blatantly broken the rules of

Sanctions on Ukraine for defending itself from an invasion by the world's leading nuclear power, yay! Humankind discovers new levels of insanity and stupidity every single day.

A reminder that LITERALLY the only time Article 5 was *ever* activated was when we did it after 9/11.
Trump on NATO: If the United States was in trouble and we called them and said we've got a problem. You think they're going to come and protect us? Iâm not so sure

Telling Americans weâre gonna abolish taxes and also find trillions of dollars lying around in tariff payments is sort of like telling my kid I stole her nose and found it behind her ear; it only works if the subject doesnât understand how anything works. My daughterâs excuse
Lutnick: Tariffs are going to drive America better.. Wouldn't it be amazing to stop paying taxes to the internal revenue service and have the external revenue service of make America great again replace our taxes? That is the goal of Donald Trump,

This is so insane. Cuomo booted his rich Kennedy daughter out of her $9K/month luxury apartment just so that he could have a NYC address and run for Mayor (sketchy, gross) and then put her in front of a microphone to complain she couldn't find "affordable housing" (even grosser)
Andrew Cuomo hadnât been living in NYC for decades, in September he registered to vote at his daughterâs address, then Andrew Cuomo moved in to the apartment where his daughter Cara had been living ahead of his mayoral campaign launch, prompting Cara to move to Brooklyn.

Setting aside the awful morality here, if you're a nation looking to spend defense procurement money how can you possibly trust American suppliers now? The old man has a temper tantrum and now it's all paperweights.
America cut a key intel link for alerts at 2pm Kyiv. Before that: targeting data for HIMARS. Ukraine also isnât receiving realtime information for long-range strikes. âTrump wanted a thank you,â says a source. âWe will be writing it on graves of dead Ukrainiansâ
