I Am Not Always Correct - But Damn!

It is, by any metric, a small country masquerading as a city.

It governs more lives and more wealth than most nations. If democratic socialism — housing reform, public banking, equitable taxation — functions here, it obliterates the myth that such governance can’t work at scale. The fear isn’t ideological. It’s empirical. Because if Mamdani can keep the lights on, reduce homelessness, and maintain economic growth without catering to Wall Street, then the capitalist gospel collapses under its own dead weight.

What terrifies the establishment isn’t failure. It’s feasibility.

If it works in New York, there’s no reason it can’t work in Nebraska. If it works in Queens, it can work in Kansas City. And once proof exists, belief becomes irrelevant. The ship of democracy, fully refitted, will keep sailing — and no one can claim it isn’t American."

WASHINGTON — The House passed bipartisan legislation Thursday that would provide new aid to Ukraine and impose sanctions against Russia, largely clashing with the Trump administration’s approach to the war.

The 226-195 vote included support for the bill from 18 Republicans, who joined all but one Democrat in approving the measure.

The Ukraine Support Act, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, came to the House floor after enough Republicans crossed the aisle to side with Democrats and circumvent GOP leadership, which had prevented a vote on the legislation.

The bill would authorize $8 billion in Foreign Military Financing loans to Ukraine and NATO allies, as well as more than $1 billion in other funds for Ukraine, Baltic security and Radio Free Europe.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces a steeper uphill climb with Republicans. If passed, it would then need to be signed by President Donald Trump to become law.

The House vote comes a day after four Republicans voted with Democrats to pass a resolution to rebuke the war in Iran. The largely symbolic measure, also introduced by Meeks, directed Trump to remove U.S. forces from Iran unless Congress authorizes it. That came after Republicans rejected three other attempts to pass a war powers resolution this year.

Though they make at least $7.25 an hour, the state siphons 40% off the top of all wages and also levies fees, including $5 a day for rides to their jobs and $15 a month for laundry.
