Darializa Avila Chevalier joins the stream to talk about her campaign for Congress in NY-13 before heading to an amazing Middle Eastern restaurant to try some of their best dishes.
This is a good way to get a feel for her campaign, her message, and why this race is worth paying attention to.
Four films about people under pressure: an interrogation that turns ordinary questions into a trap, a cab ride that becomes a confession booth, a gambling trip built on hope and self-destruction, and a poker empire that attracts the wrong kind of attention.
Based on the real FBI interview transcript of Reality Winner, this stripped-down drama follows a young intelligence contractor as agents arrive at her home and a polite conversation tightens into something much more dangerous. The tension comes from how little the room seems to change while everything in her life does.
A woman lands at JFK and gets into a cab bound for Manhattan, where a late-night ride turns into a searching conversation with her driver about desire, regret, loneliness, and the stories people tell themselves. It is a small movie by design, built around two people slowly letting the silence get honest.
A broke gambler deep in debt latches onto a charismatic card player he sees as a good-luck charm, and the two head south toward a high-stakes game in New Orleans. The road trip moves through casinos, bars, and racetracks, but the real game is whether either man can outrun his own patterns.
After an Olympic-class skiing career ends, Molly Bloom builds one of the world’s most exclusive underground poker games, drawing celebrities, power players, and eventually federal investigators. The hook is the money, but the movie is really about control, reputation, and how a game can become a courtroom.
I’m endorsing Sam Forstag for Congress in Montana’s 1st District.
Sam is a smokejumper, union leader, and organizer, a working Montanan running to make Congress work for working people.
His campaign is focused on the basics: affordable housing, real healthcare, childcare and public education, public lands, fair taxes, strong unions, secure retirement, and getting money out of politics.
That is exactly the kind of Democrat we need more of: someone rooted in labor, public service, and the real cost-of-living crisis people are facing.
Unlike Ryan Zinke, Sam is not backed by billionaires and corporate PACs. He is building a people-powered campaign to take back MT‑01 for working families.
I’m proud to endorse Sam Forstag. Please donate, volunteer, and spread the word.
I’m endorsing Tom Steyer for Governor of California.
California is too expensive. Housing costs are too high. Utility bills are too high. Public schools need serious investment. And politics is still dominated by corporate and special interests.
In this race, Steyer is the only progressive in real contention. He is running on the right agenda: build one million homes, lower electric bills, make corporations and billionaires pay more, fund public education, guarantee health care, abolish ICE, and defend the climate.
He has also actually delivered before: he helped defeat Big Oil in the fight over California’s clean air law, helped pass Prop. 39 to bring billions into public schools, helped pass Prop. 56 to raise billions for health care, and co-founded Beneficial State Bank, which has financed thousands of affordable housing units.
The contrast with Xavier Becerra matters. Becerra looks like the same old bought politics: a direct Chevron max-out check, plus pro-Becerra outside money from Chevron, California Resources Corporation, Meta, Airbnb, McDonald’s, DaVita, Centene / Health Net, real estate interests, and medical industry groups.
If those are the interests lining up behind you, that tells voters something.
California needs someone willing to fight them, not someone they are trying to install. I’m proud to endorse Tom Steyer for Governor. Please donate, volunteer, endorse, and spread the word.
