Today, Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will visit the White House as he prepares to take office with a simple goal: making sure working people can afford to live where they work.
You may be shocked to find out his plan doesn’t include giant tax cuts for corporations & billionaires.

The U.S. has the leverage to help stop the RSF's atrocities in Sudan, RIGHT NOW. But to do that we have to use it.
Today, Republicans blocked my effort to pass legislation to suspend arms sales to the UAE until we can verify they are no longer arming the genocidal RSF. Shameful.
The Trump Admin will fire you for having a Pride flag on your desk but downplays & normalizes swastikas & nooses?
Over 400,000 Americans died fighting Nazism. Hundreds of thousands died fighting slavery & Jim Crow.
This is a slap in the face to every American who died to defeat bigoted ideologies.
Must be a total coincidence this announcement came the day after these guys were seen at Trump’s ritzy dinner party.
Trump doesn’t have this authority. States are filling the void left by the federal govt’s failure to create an accountability structure for AI companies.
Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen."
Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder.
The Republican party's refusal to stand up for a free & fair press endangers journalists worldwide.
Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.
She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.
Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.
Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?
Trump and Congressional Republicans have a little over a month to diffuse the health care time bomb they left ticking on American families.
If these tax credits expire, it will spike health care costs for everyone — whether you’re on the ACA or not.
Trump’s making it easier for polluters to profit from poisoning waterways like the Chesapeake Bay.
A healthy Bay is an economic & environmental lifeline for Maryland & clean waterways are vital to communities around the U.S.
But in Trump-world, his big money pals always come first.
With Senate approval of the bill to release the Epstein Files, President Trump must sign it into law, without delay.
It’s past time for the American people to see the FULL truth.
It is shameful that it took so long.
First Trump allowed your premiums to skyrocket & now he wants medical bills to haunt you everywhere you go. Letting sickness crush people’s credit scores is exploitative & cruel.
This is what it looks like when you put corporate debt collectors, not working people, first.
Republicans no longer have any excuse to delay justice.
Senator Thune must bring this bill to a vote, IMMEDIATELY
The victims of Epstein's abuse & the American people deserve transparency.
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.
At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.
Watch what they do, not what they say. Republicans say they care about personal responsibility, but when it comes to corporations…
This repeal takes money out of your pocket, money that you are owed if airlines mess up & cause extended delays.
How much more blatant can they be?
Right now, tens of millions of working families are trying to work out how they’re going to pay for their skyrocketing ACA premiums.
The time bomb is still ticking and Republicans are doing nothing to diffuse it — we need to act now.
What happened to going after the "worst of the worst"?
Under this admin, the DHS has pursued 33% fewer child exploitation cases, instead opting to harass & abduct pastors, small business owners, & others in our communities.
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza goes on, extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank are attacking Palestinians with impunity, displacing them & disrupting the olive harvest. We must end our complicity. Opposing annexation isn't enough, we must demand an end to the occupation.
Donald Trump repeatedly told us that his tariffs would not increase prices for consumers.
So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods?
Duh, because his tariffs raised prices.
Just another day with Don the Con.
After weaponizing the shutdown to block SNAP benefits for hungry people, the Trump Admin is using the oldest trick in the book to do more of the same.
This kind of red tape does nothing to prevent fraud — it just makes it harder for working people to get the benefits they need.
This is another example of what has become one of the most dangerous — yet underreported — aspects of the Trump Administration: they fire people who tell the truth.
Friends don’t want friends engaged in extrajudicial killings. Of course the UK doesn’t want to be complicit in Trump and Hegseth illegally blowing up boats and people in the Caribbean.
Trump is shredding our Constitution and international law while alienating our allies. It has to end.
