  1. The New Republic | The Important Missing Word That
    Discredits the Centrists’ New Letter by Michael Tomasky

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    In his piece, Michael Tomasky criticizes a recent letter from moderate Democrat Tom Suozzi and fourteen colleagues that lauds capitalism while conspicuously omitting the single word that undercuts their rhetoric—“monopoly.” He argues that monopoly, not democratic socialists or the government, is the chief threat to genuine competition and that centrist Democrats must confront it if they hope to unite with the increasingly left‑leaning base of the party. Citing rising economic inequality (the U.S. Gini now at 42), the surge of self‑identified democratic socialists, and poll data showing progressives now outnumber moderates, Tomasky urges the party to adopt clear policy commitments—higher taxes on the rich, a solvable Social Security, an $18‑minimum‑wage indexed to inflation, a permanent child‑tax credit, and robust antitrust action—so that Democrats can fight the billionaire “Epstein” class, restore competition, and avoid electoral defeat in 2028.

  3. "Democrat Suozzi says he ‘failed’ with vote to pass DHS funding bill: ‘I must do a better job’ "

    From the article:

    "In a statement on Facebook, the moderate Democrat said the backlash from his constituents — paired with the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol officer — has compelled him to reconsider his vote."

    My response follows...

    Dear Fucker,

    It only took the ire of your constituents and the murder of one *additional* person to realize that the DHS must no longer be funded?

    What you need to do is not do a better job.

    What you need to do is grow a FUCKING BRAIN and get a FUCKING HEART!

    Sincerely,
    YAL

  4. 7 House #Democrats Vote With #GOP to Give #ICE More Money Despite Deadly Invasions of #USCities

    “The billions in funding in this bill will only embolden ICE and CBP to continue arresting our neighbors—immigrant and US citizen alike,” warned one ACLU attorney.

    Excerpt: "Democratic Reps. #HenryCuellar (Texas), #DonDavis (NC), #LauraGillen (NY), #JaredGolden (Maine), #VicenteGonzalez (Texas), #MarieGluesenkampPerez (Wash.), and #TomSuozzi (NY) joined all Republicans but Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) for the 220-207 vote that sent the legislation to the Senate—where the GOP also has a majority, but it’s so narrow that most bills need some Democratic support to pass.

    "House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) notably refused to pressure members of his caucus to oppose the bill, even though voters clearly oppose federal operations featuring violence and lawlessness by agents with Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) everywhere from California and #Illinois, to #Minnesota and #Maine."

  11. #TomSuozzi’s victory in a special #House election in #NewYork buoyed #Democrats’ spirits & offered a model on one of the party’s thorniest challenges: #immigration

    The strategy: Challenge #Republicans on issues that they usually monopolize, like #crime, #taxes &, above all, immigration. …& fire up the Democratic base w/attacks — in this case, nearly $10M in ads — on the #abortion issue & #Trump….

  13. Hey folks! There's a lot of bad news nowadays, so let's take a moment to celebrate some good news.
    #TomSuozzi winning the #HouseOfRepresentatives seat in #Congress vacated by the criminal grifter #GeorgeSantos is great for the country and bodes well for other elections happening this year.
    We're not out of the woods yet, but there is reason for hope that with constant vigilance and VOTING IN EVERY ELECTION we can hold off GOP fascism.

  15. Democrat Tom Suozzi wins New York race to succeed George Santos in Congress :

    It provides Democrats a much-needed win in New York City's Long Island suburbs, where the GOP showed surprising strength in recent elections.
