I took my newly 1 year old baby to her check-up this morning & she got her MMR, chicken pox, flu & COVID shots. If she's feeling fussy tonight, I'll alternate Tylenol & Motrin, per my dr's rec. How fun that I get to ignore the president & be a good mom (and good citizen) instead.

The worst people are having a bad night. You truly love to see it.

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

I genuinely don't know how we solve the problem of "Democrats are held accountable for every rando on the internet and Republicans bear no responsibility for the opinions of the bigots & Nazis they nominate/elect/hire/appoint."

How we got here: a few random posters claimed the Sweeney ad is Nazi propaganda and then the White House and ultimately the President weighed in. Name a Democratic politician who complained about the ad

A thing Zohran & his campaign have powerfully tapped into -- and that his scavenger hunt captures so perfectly -- is that a vast majority of the people who live here genuinely *love* New York City. We wouldn't stay here otherwise!

The new wave of millennial candidates - James Talarico, Graham Platner, Zohran Mamdani, Zach Wahls, Mallory McMorrow, & more - can redefine the Democratic Party in their collective image: values-driven, voters-first, unafraid to fight systems that no longer serve us, & with joy.

This is not a statistical fact and it is extremely dangerous for the sitting VP to say this.

Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left."

Jeffries and Schumer were cultivated to be peace time leaders. They’re fundamentally not well-suited to lead the opposition.

Rando person with vaguely lefty politics posts one lightly insulting thing toward conservative Americans and it becomes a national scandal. President of the United States uses taxpayers money to generate a video of himself literally shitting on his constituents and… what?

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

If/when Platner wins the primary, it’ll be the final mark of death for the old guard of the Democratic Party. They don’t have the juice anymore and this will prove it. (Plus I think a primary will make Platner a better candidate for the general!)

New: Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills is calling Democratic senators to say she’s going to announce her Senate campaign next week, per multiple senators. Schumer & other Senate Democrats see Mills as their best chance to defeat veteran GOP Sen. Susan Collins. @allymutnick

Shit like this does more to undermine faith in the institution of the Democratic Party than anything Mamdani might ever say or do. He won the primary! Handily!! Does that electorate not count? Do those voters not matter?

Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying: "He's going to have to demonstrate to a broader electorate - including in many of the neighborhoods that I represent in Brooklyn - that his ideas can actually be put into reality."

This is genuinely very moving. One of the both strengths & challenges of millennials & gen Z stepping into leadership is we’ve grown up online - we’re going to have to get used to being able to see people’s personal growth over a decade+ happening in public.

This is what patriotism and true egoless leadership looks like. Thanks for your service, Rep. Nadler.
