Jennifer Welch represents the very worst of the online left influencers and I cannot take seriously anyone who does not see that she has horrible judgment and horrible character.

ā€˜Radical’ comes from a Latin word meaning "root." Because roots are the deepest part of a plant, ā€˜radical’ came to describe things understood as fundamental or essential. ā€˜Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.

Don’t let ICE abduct our children from our schools is too political apparently 🫠
What was this ā€œanonymous flyerā€ that Somos was freaking out about Friday night? Turns out it was the ā€œICE out of schoolsā€ presser organized by NYIC and CM Alexa AvilĆ©s - and attended by Mamdani, James and more. I hear the board felt it was too ā€œpolitical,ā€ for a nonprofit.

Y’all need to stop trying to turn this Hakeem Jeffries situation into a race issue. For many of us, it’s about his unwavering support for Israel while our tax dollars fund what we believe is genocide. And you conveniently leave out that we don’t want Chuck Schumer either. Schumer isn’t Black. The opposition is for the same reason. It’s about policy, not race.

Yes, keep doing exactly this. Brilliant strategy.
Congratulations to the new Chief of Staff, @StephenM. Double down on the agenda. Too many people are demanding a change to tough policies because they were unpopular in the midterms. That’s foolish and cowardly. The short term unpopularity of a policy does not make the policy wrong. The President’s priority should be long term benefits (like an Iran without a nuke), not short term popularity.

Scott Colom is leading by 2,498 votes. His lead will continue to grow.
We are not backing down. This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!

Also genuinely wild are folks who decide whether they are better than you or not, or whether you belong or not—based on what city your parents decided to birth you in 🫠
Genuinely crazy how low this number is
