A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim.

i just feel like at a certain point we can’t just never present something the bigots won’t like. doesn’t that just mean we’re catering to bigots? why are we choosing nominees based on what bigots are going to like, since they most definitely aren’t going to vote for any democratic nominees?
who defines who’s time it is? whose time is it?
how did i give us trump exactly? i’ve voted exclusively for democratic nominees in all elections i could vote in. started this interaction calling me a bag of shit, doesn’t really sound like you’re confident in your positions. just chill, we’re supposed to be finding some sort of common ground..

No vote tonight on the funding deal because — and I am not making this up — Lindsey Graham was insisting on undoing this so he can personally enrich himself to the tune of millions in taxpayer dollars
**FOUR** black journalists were abducted by Trump’s Gestapo for the crime of journalism
During a DHS shutdown, ICE and CBP continue to operate, but we begin to use up their slush fund from OBBBA. We also aren't stuck w/ a Sophie's Choice situation where SSI and Section 8 hang in the balance. It's a place of maximum (albeit still weak) leverage.
We must ensure Dems do not squander it.
