Cynthia Nixon saluted her son Samuel today as the pair celebrate the 14th Annual Trans Day of Action. The proud mom and Sex and the City star, who is currently running for Governor of New York, took to Instagram to post a picture of the pair and openly share for the first time that 21-year-old Samuel, born Samantha, is transgender.

Cynthia Nixon's answer to a question that has perplexed New Yorkers for generations is turning heads on social media. Nixon, the Sex and the City actor challenging Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was asked by The New York Times Magazine where she believes upstate New York begins, a query that regularly sparks fierce debate — and a wide-ranging array of responses — on Twitter and Facebook. Her answer? Somewhere near Ithaca. "I don't think the Hudson Valley is upstate," Nixon said, according to the Times. "Once you get to Ithaca, by around there, you're starting to get upstate."

As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as President Obama’s chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin’s machine unleashed an influence campaign designed to win access to the new secretary of State, her husband Bill Clinton and members of their inner circle, according to interviews and once-sealed FBI records. Some of the activities FBI agents gathered evidence about in 2009 and 2010 were covert and illegal. A female Russian spy posing as an American accountant, for instance, used a false identity to burrow her way into the employ of a major Democratic donor in hopes of...

Please, bid in shekels or dollars. Ms. McKinney may learn to appreciate her United States citizenship after this experience, and stop envying Castro, Chavez, and every other country.

MCKINNEY'S TROUBLED WATERSLast updated: 1:18 am January 2, 2009 Israel's navy gave ex-Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her fellow self-de scribed "peace" activists a surprise kick in the bow this week, turning away their photo-op of a boat trip, which was headed for Gaza. **SNIP** She and other anti-Israel activists sailed out of Cyprus (with a CNN crew aboard), claiming they simply wanted to deliver medical supplies to Gaza on "a mission of mercy." They say they were suddenly fired upon by machine guns from Israeli gunboats and forced to turn back. **SNIP** But anything in which Cynthia McKinney is involved...

The Truth Commission for Water Rights on May 3 heard the experiences of Detroit and Highland Park, Mich., residents who are being denied their human right to water. The Michigan Welfare Rights Organization (MWRO) organized the daylong event of multimedia and firsthand presentations.

APN) ATLANTA – "Run, Cynthia run!" chanted enthusiastic Green Party members and leaders at the Green Party National Meeting for 2007 in Reading, Pennsylvania, on July 15, 2007, according to video footage obtained by Atlanta Progressive News. "If not us, who? If not now, when?" asked one Green Party activist in attendance after a screening of the movie American Blackout. "It is us and the time is now," former US Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) replied. How would progressive Democrats in Congress respond to a McKinney-Nader 2008 ticket, another attendee asked. "That would have a potential of shaking up a whole...

McKinney hints at challenging Georgia voting lawsLawmaker says 'malicious crossover' voting by Republicans disenfranchised black voters in her district By Ben Evans ASSOCIATED PRESS Posted on Fri, Sep. 08, 2006 WASHINGTON - Outgoing Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney hinted Thursday that she or her supporters might try again to challenge the legality of state voting laws that allowed Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary where she lost her House seat last month. McKinney, the first black woman elected to Congress from Georgia, said "malicious crossover" voting by Republicans disenfranchised black voters in her district from picking their candidate of choice,...

Oh, for crying out loud! Cynthia McKinney is at it again. Blaming everyone and everything for her ills other than herself. This time, she is on attack regarding her recent runoff loss to Hank Johnson. During a recent speech in front of the National Dialogue and Revival for Social Justice in the Black Church, she blamed her loss on the media, electronic voting machines, Republicans and Georgia's requirement that the winner of an election must receive at least 50 percent of the vote. Is that it, Cynthia? What about days with the letter "y" in them or months that have...

APN) ATLANTA -- US Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) is pursuing numerous legal avenues to challenge the so-called “results” of not only her recent Primary and Runoff Elections, but also the fundamental reality that the current E-voting system in Georgia does not provide us with “results” that are in any way meaningful. The Congresswoman and her attorneys and campaign are looking at ways in which they can either join or support Donzella James’s legal election contest filed last week, Donzella James, who is working closely with the Congresswoman, told Atlanta Progressive News. The US Department of Justice is already said to...

I wrote last week that our InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion survey showed that controversial Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney would likely lose her primary runoff election against former county commissioner Hank Johnson in Georgia's 4th District. McKinney lost handily. Beyond that, her final hours before eventually conceding defeat made for the most underreported and bizarre story of a political exit I've ever seen in my years of participating in or analyzing political races around the country. I had agreed to join the anchor desk at Atlanta's NBC-TV affiliate to provide analysis for that day's elections. As the night wore on, it became clear...

If a long-time member of Congress lost a primary battle for re-election, and his/her campaign entourage shouted racial epithets at reporters and about her opponent after defeat, do you think this would have been on the evening news? Well, if said member of Congress was a Democrat, the answer apparently is “no,” for not one of the broadcast networks felt it was newsworthy to report Tuesday evening's events involving Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Georgia). For those that haven’t heard, McKinney’s campaign entourage now includes members of the New Black Panthers. After her primary defeat Tuesday to Hank Johnson for Georgia’s 4th...

McKinney's Black PanthersTom Bevan Mon Aug 7, 9:31 AM ET Check out this nugget on the McKinney campaign buried at the end of a story in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Several people dressed in black suits and boots followed McKinney around. The patches on their clothes said: "New Black Panther Party Freedom or Death." The organization does not have an official role in McKinney's campaign and are not on her organization's payroll, said McKinney's campaign manager, John Evans. So members of the "largest organized anti-Semitic black militant group in America" just show up spontaneously to follow McKinney around during the final...

Atlanta, GA (AHN) - New polls show incumbent Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney still trails rival, two-term DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson. An InsiderAdvantage survey shows Johnson leading the Congresswoman, 53 percent to 40. According to Atlanta television station, WXIA-TV, on Monday morning, both candidates squared off on the radio in attempt to reach more voters on the Frank and Wanda in the Morning Show on V-103. In the V-103 debate, McKinney charged that Johnson is the candidate backed by Republican voters and Republican money while Johnson pointed out that McKinney was not present for a recent House vote on a critical...

Republicans don’t have a dog in either fight, but two nationally significant races on Tuesday’s ballot will tell us a great deal about the mood of the country — and the future of two-party politics. The one, of course, is Georgia’s 4th Congressional District, where incumbent Rep. Cynthia McKinney is in the final stages of her political career. But for an out-of-district white guy who sapped 5,253 votes, most of which otherwise would have gone to challenger Hank Johnson, she would be walking around in stunned defeat now. Johnson may not beat her Tuesday, but the end is near. Her...

A new poll by Insider Advantage shows challenger Hank Johnson with a hefty lead over incumbent Cynthia McKinney in the Democratic run-off for the 4th District congressional race. The poll shows Johnson leading McKinney, 46 to 21 percent, with a third of voters undecided. The survey recorded the responses of 489 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 5 percent. Run-offs are notorious for low turnout, which often makes telephone surveys unreliable. Matt Towery, CEO of InsiderAdvantage, said he was unwilling to say that McKinney was headed for certain defeat. "But is she in deep, deep, deep,...

ATLANTA - Democratic firebrand Rep. Cynthia McKinney was in high spirits Tuesday night, dancing and playing a tambourine as election results showed her with a tight lead over a former DeKalb County Commissioner with roots in the heart of her core constitency. With 80 percent of the precincts reporting, McKinney was leading with 47 percent of the vote to lawyer Hank Johnson's 45 percent. One of the candidates will need to get more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff on Aug. 8. Tuesday's primary was the first time that McKinney faced voters since her scuffle with...
