Zohran Mamdani and the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection have announced a "Click to Cancel" rule. The rule would make NYC the first city in the nation to ban subscription traps and force companies to make it just as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to enroll.

@Wilson__Valdez @DisinfoIsBad No. They were trying to encourage other victims to come forward.

My only comments on the Swalwell stuff before bed:
A) the allegation(s) seems credible. and if it's credible it's bad enough that he should drop out. I guess he does deserve to give his side but it seems like he's done
B) the conduct of certain influencers/operatives on here the past several days has been really disgusting and unbecoming of how anyone decent would handle accusations of something as serious as sexual assault.
People were treating it like it was some sneaker drop or something, gleefully hyping it up. They could've easily waited the few days until the actual story was released. But they wanted the clout and to feel important.
It really was gross. It gave me Tara Reade vibes, again. And made me feel less likely to believe the accusations when they were finally reported (responsibly) and seemed that it was coming from a place that was primarily concerned with getting at a political rival.

The longer I live, the more I become convinced that the only thing that matters in literature is the (more or less less irrational) shamanism of a book, i.e. that the writer is first of all an enchanter.

@travi44 @AdamSchiff @mel_med_larson Good so if you want a party that elevates rapists you know where to go
English
@AdamSchiff @mel_med_larson Mr. Schiff, this is more like shades of a hit piece. You Senators & Congress, need to be thorough regarding this matter. If this was happening to a Magat, they’d get away with it! Just look at that pig Tony Gonzales out in Texas who is still a member of Congress.

I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously.
I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

I ask those who endorsed him to take a good hard look in the mirror and then to go forth and educate themselves about rape culture.
You don’t have to police everyone, but you don’t have to endorse creeps either.

People talked about swallwell openly at dem aligned events in dc I've been to. Him being a creep was an open secret

@LqLana I don’t consider defending rapists to be a sign of strength

Democrats are weak as
Fuck.
Same as how we ran from Twitter when the going got tough is the same here.
We will desert a candidate in a split second. Republicans know this about us. They saw what we did to Al Franken.

The way Kamala Harris could have just claimed the California governorship if she wanted it. Like, she could have put her name on the ballot, done absolutely nothing, and been governor.

He should spare us and the party the spectacle and resign
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Meeting with Epstein survivors has taught me how much trauma survivors endure and how much courage it takes for them to speak up. No one in a position of power should be allowed to act above the law or with impunity. It doesn’t matter what office you hold, how wealthy you are, or which political party you align with. The same rules must apply to Eric Swalwell. There must be the appropriate law enforcement investigations and House ethics investigations. He must be held accountable. There cannot be two tiers of justice in this nation.

People are shitting on Ken Martin and I have to step in here to say that for years, Dems held large cash advantages over the GOP and either lost, or narrowly won. The Harris campaign raised $1 billion. We still lost.
The money is not the problem. It’s our brand.

The DNC expected big money after big Democratic wins. It never came. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

@lawindsor @bhaviklathia Maybe not but I still wouldn’t endorse them, especially if their brand is “happily married family man”

@bhaviklathia Knowing someone is a cad is not the same thing as knowing they are a sexual abuser.

I am unfortunately coming to this conclusion about Gomez and Gallego. The more I learn, the less good it looks for them... and then the knee-jerk defense that Gallego posted. It's just all... terrible
Trisha@Trisha_Tahmasbi
Gomez knew. Gallego knew. Others knew.

@LisaCameBack @lawindsor @bhaviklathia You need to educate yourself on the dynamics of trauma and abuse

I begged people to vote for Kamala but I assumed the entire party would do some soul-searching after she lost. Instead they buried their heads in the sand and demanded everyone repeat the lie that Kamala did everything right and only the leftists deserve any blame. They lost me.
R@shibadad8
I can shit on republicans all day, and liberals will agree with me. But the minute I even whiff an ounce of disappointment with the democratic leadership, I’m attacked harder than maga. Why? Why don’t y’all want to fix the Democratic Party and have them lock in.

AOC is the leader of the party, and this will only become ever clearer as we approach 2028
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
HUGE: J Street now backs blocking all aid to Israel, including for “defensive” weapons like iron dome. Just weeks ago this was a controversial position for Democrats, now J Street is backing it. A few years ago a Democrat could get censured for holding this position. @AOC moving on this moved the field.

Chuck Schumer’s team should fucking resign and never work in politics again
Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024
WaPo: Chuck Schumer’s team still believes Graham Platner is unelectable in the Maine Senate race “Operatives close to Schumer have told people in recent months that they believe Platner can’t defeat Collins in a general election, and remain wary of the plethora of deleted internet comments that include insulting police and rural Mainers.”

I just think all women should get to work in politics and report from their state or federal Capitol without being assaulted at work.
