That's TODAY New Yorkers! elections.ny.gov

New Yorkers have waited their entire lives for tonight: when the Knicks championship banner will be raised into the rafters of Madison Square Garden. What a testament to the incredible 2025-26 Knicks and the city that stood alongside them every step of the way. LGK.

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

A barbaric idea, beneath our dignity as a country. Push back on this.

Artificial Intelligence.

This is worrying news. But anxiety is not a strategy. Join @indivisible.org's midterm election protection program to help make sure we're ready for whatever tricks Trump tries to hold on to power. indivisible.org/campaigns/ou...

Guess I need to set my house on fire so I can use my insurance

Our national symbols matter, and they belong to all of us—not just one man. A big thank you to everyone who turned out to protect the Kennedy Center this weekend. Keep going.

I think @darrigomelanie.bsky.social said everything that needs to be said.

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court on Monday ordered Missouri to reinstate a gerrymandered map that eliminates a Democratic district in Kansas City, even though the state has already distributed ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said. It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Half of Russia’s six largest diesel-producing refineries are now either shut down or operating at sharply reduced capacity after Ukrainian drone strikes. That’s not just an inconvenience. It’s a direct blow to the fuel supply that keeps Russia’s war machine moving.

Our vote is under attack. So don’t wait until Election Day. Check your registration. Know your polling place. Make a plan. VOTE EARLY. They’re counting on confusion, delays and people giving up. This is not the election to wing it!!! #GetReadyToVote

Today, alongside a nationwide coalition of cities, counties and the Public Rights Project, we are filing a lawsuit challenging the federal government's new public charge rule.

Today was a good day for free and fair elections in court. More tomorrow...

A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES Missouri’s emergency stay application leaving the 2022 congressional map protecting Black voters in Kansas City in place for the midterms. A victory for Elias Law Group, its client and voters of Missouri! www.democracydocket.com/cases/missou...

Perfectly states what I've been saying for some time, now.

Hilarious and perfect.

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

The move marks the end of a lengthy redistricting fight in Missouri and blocks a Republican attempt to oust Kansas City’s longtime congressman.

#UnionProud

Zohran Mamdani just created an Office of Worker Power, and launched it on Labor Day

Every one of these states has flippable Senate or House races, and Trump’s trade war with Canada just gave Dems a boost. Voters are looking to punish Republicans in power, and GOP candidates are privately furious with Trump. #8WeeksToABlueWave

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

The US has a dark history of unaccountability.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

Someone inside the USPS, a whistleblower, saw something shady happening to your right to vote — and said something. They knew the cost. The retaliation. They came forward anyway. That’s good trouble. standingourground.us/p/when-you-s... www.standingourground.us/p/when-you-s...

Olivia Rodrigo: -planned successful all women music festival -raised 10 million for women’s charities -pro Palestine, anti ICE -is 23 years old Young woman pop stars can use their voices and platforms for change, if they want to.

🚨 TEXAS: THEY’RE TRYING TO CLOSE 92 ELECTION DAY POLLING PLACES Tarrant County officials are set to vote TODAY on cutting Election Day voting locations from 316 to 224, nearly 1 in 3 polling places gone. Civil rights groups warn the cuts could disproportionately burden Black, Latino & Asian voters

I think I’m due for another rewatch of one of the funniest 70s sitcoms ever. Scratch that. One of the funniest television shows in the history of television.

The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation. He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.

It’s Lake Ontario.

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

NEW from Katie Phang: The DOJ still has not begun translating and reviewing foreign-language documents in the Epstein Files, despite a federal judge ordering Blanche to “immediately” start. As Judge Sullivan put it: “The public and the victims have the right to know what the hell is going on.”

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…

I agree with this message.
