Welcome to Congress SENATOR Andrews.
I signed a proclamation that will prevent future changes to my apartment. No other tenant, according to my very legal and binding proclamation, can take the giant "The WHO" poster off the wall, move any of the fake plastic trees, or paint the wall any color but mauve.
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a proclamation that he said will prevent future changes to the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as he has redesigned them. to.pbs.org/4BJmJX4

Zohran Mamdani: “It’s not enough for us as Democrats to win power. We have to use that power to deliver change that Americans can feel in their wallets. When you look at these campaigns, if we want to speak about James Talarico, he campaigned on a vision for universal childcare. If you want to talk about Keisha Lance Bottoms, she campaigned on a vision of cutting red tape to build housing. If you want to talk about Jocelyn Benson, she campaigned on a moratorium for data centers. What I’m excited to see now is a recognition that the work is only just starting and this has to be delivered for working people across the country”
I will absolutely lose my mind if Schumer and Jeffries blow this. The American people don't want to "get even". We want the rule of law for everyone. We want affordability. But we also want this criminally corrupt administration that is killing people held accountable.

Last night, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told me something I keep thinking about: While Democrats may want to celebrate, they need to remember that this isn't a sporting event. This is Americans sending the strongest signal possible that they are in pain, and hurting, and want help. Now Congress needs to answer that call. It was powerful stuff, and if the party is smart they'll follow his instincts.

Just… don’t Obama this. Undo the harm, prosecute their crimes, and change people’s lives

Imagine if Elon's $500 million had been spent on education or healthcare. Or the arts. Anything.

In a weird way, everybody is rooting for you. When you go to a job interview, the interviewer wants you to be amazing so they don’t have to look anymore. when you go on a date, the person wants to have an amazing date with you. If you make a piece of content, people want to see amazing pieces of content and they have no problem if it’s yours.
the instant you get into the mindset that people want you to do well, your entire world gets better. And you’ll be shocked to know this pattern keeps repeating in different areas of life.
Rest in peace and power Patrick. You were a model of professionalism, kindness, ability, skill, talent, and luminescence.

🚨HOLY CRAP:
Turn this off on your phone right now.
Go to your iPhone settings - accessibility - audio & visual - LIVE LISTEN.
Turn off LIVE LISTEN.
It even says it keeps TRANSCRIPTS.
This is NUTS.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Live Listen is Apple’s official accessibility feature that streams sound from the iPhone mic to the user’s own AirPods or hearing aids. The Remote Control setting is optional. It does not enable third-party access or always-on listening.

Every day. EVERY. Damn. Day. There's another scandal, crime, or issue that would have completely ended any other person in public life. We will spend the rest of our lives trying to find out how and why this particular person spent the majority of their lives with utter impunity.

It's fucking crazy that an investigation exposing how Jared Kushner laundered billions if dollars through Azerbaijan, including payments to a warlord, a mercenary, and a hitman, isn't getting more attention.

Late stage capitalism is when people who bought up property and fucked the housing market go on strike because they can’t force their guests to do domestic labor
