Former mayors
Present day may not be kind, but history will be kind.
Now, years after he walked away, he suddenly has ideas? It’s a little late for that. …Cuomo’s comments are nothing more than political theater from someone who had his chance and failed to deliver.
Special sessions. Special elections. Ballot initiatives. New laws. It’s all on the table when democracy is on the line.
Trump said he’s going to steal 5 Congressional seats in Texas and gerrymander his way into a 2026 win. Well, two can play that game.
There's no realistic plan to make Alcatraz reopen as anything other than the wonderful tourist attraction that it currently is. If the federal government wants to spend billions of dollars, I want them to spend it on clean and safe streets…
While the Trump administration continues its attacks on LGBTQ kids, California has a message to the community: we see you and we’re here for you.
Oh thank God! I’ve totally forgotten about the Epstein files now!
They are leaving! They are retreating! We stood strong! We peacefully protested!
The lawsuit’s baseless, a disgruntled former employee.
While the San Francisco metro remains expensive, prices have cooled from their [COVID-19] pandemic-era highs, making entry somewhat more feasible for some buyers.
I will fight for a city that works for you, that is affordable for you.
It’s clear that this is all part of a political agenda to terrorize immigrants and signal that they need to stay at home when there are entire sectors of our economy that rely on immigrant workers.
To have armored vehicles deployed on the streets of our city, to federalize the National Guard, to have the U.S. Marines who are trained to kill abroad, deployed to our city — all of this is outrageous and it is un-American.
Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t.
We call on Trump and the Department of Defense to end this theater and send everyone home now.
While nearly 2,000 of them are starting to demobilize, the remaining guardsmembers continue without a mission, without direction and without any hopes of returning to help their communities.
My interest is a partnership, not in the politics.
I go into that room knowing that there will be disagreements, and also knowing that the foundation of it is a belief in the possibility of the city, and it will take a new kind of politics to unlock that possibility.
Because people listened — because they stayed off flooded roads and helped protect one another — we avoided greater harm.
I want to thank our first responders, city workers, and everyday New Yorkers for taking our warnings seriously and acting quickly.
The National Guard’s deployment to Los Angeles County has pulled troops away from their families and civilian work to serve as political pawns for the President.
