And the establishment thinks any criticism of the party is “delivering for Republicans”. Even when the party keeps losing & needs to seriously recalibrate to meet the moment. I want Democrats to embrace change, stop kneecapping ourselves, & start winning. Know who won? Zohran.
The left loves delivering for Republicans. Guys, Curtis Sliwa wants the NYPD to racially profile Black people & get away with murdering civilians with chokeholds.

You know the NY Democratic Party has totally lost the plot and is in a truly shameful state when Curtis Silwa is less islamophobic and racist than Adams, Cuomo, Gillibrand, the New York Times, and 2/3rds of Party Leadership. Curtis Silwa. The guardian angels guy. Unreal.
Sliwa: “[Mamdani] was was born in Uganda. so I guess you can sorta put it in the blender… I don’t have a problem with how he self identifies”.

💯.
Black voters will likely dismiss the recent chatter as noisy foolishness. @ZohranKMamdani, born in Uganda and named after Nkrumah, majored in Africana studies, worked as a rapper and easily carried Harlem and Bed-Stuy in the primary. Dude is obviously welcome at the cookout.

Happy 4th everyone! Let’s kick back for a few days, relax, maybe get 🌭 or 🍦and watch the fireworks! Important to slow down and take joy where we can these days. For me, that’s spending time with David, Charles, and my family. On Monday, we get back to work!.

See but this is the problem right? Dem leadership didn’t actually try to stop the bill. They wanted it to pass. They think letting the Republicans devastate their constituents is good for them because they can fundraise off it and make ads.
Scoop - Dems prep to weaponize GOP’s megabill ahead of 2026 midterms. Attack ads cut for post holiday weekend, August recess seen as opening salvo. & Dems recruiting anew deep into Trump territory, including:. MO-02.TN-05.FL-27.CA-03.NY-01.CO-05.

Hold up. The source for this story is a literal white nationalist who fully supports eugenics. Think it might be time to cancel my NYTimes subscription. If you prefer your news to be free of white nationalism, you might want to do the same.

People voted for Zohran because they can’t afford the rent for a tiny run-down apartment and have to use credit to pay for weekly groceries. No one cares about his college applications. It’s so weird and deranged how you all are still not getting it.

The attempts to take down Zohran are SO pathetic that they’re just revealing how out of touch, devoid of ideas, & totally incompetent the millionaire-funded establishment surrounded by an army of consultants is. They will fail to stop the fascists. The emperor has no clothes.
The takeaway from this fairly absurd story is that Zohran and I were both rejected from Columbia when we applied to college, and we're both doing alright today.
