Love it!
We needed this feeling of togetherness and joy.
People are so starved for hope & community. Itโs powerful. Itโs beautiful to see especially in 2026!! @NYCMayor ๐๐

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.
Don't let him slide on this.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, Mike Johnson just told reporters that he has plan to cut Medicare and Medicaid after the midterms. We can stop this by making Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House.

Times like these I wish I still lived in NYC so I could experience the energy of the city around the NBA Finals. So for tonightโs pre game, I streamed @ABC7NY to get a feel for all the excitement! It was great! #NBAFinals

If your candidate for governor didnโt win the GOP nomination tonight, you are welcome here. Iowans deserve a leader who lives in Iowa, who has worked for Iowans rather than for insiders, and someone that is committed to serving Iowa families. We already have more GOP donors than the GOP nominee. Join us. All Iowans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are all welcome.

Please let me know if you get turned away from any political events in Iowa that were advertised as open to the public.
Kudos to Kasey Conrad for having the presence of mind to record this conversation in Mt. Pleasant on Tuesday. #IASen
