Excited that Lina Kahn will be a leader on Mayor-elect Mamdani’s transition team. Monopolies and monopolistic practices are huge contributor of the un-affordability of NYC—from rent to grocery prices to job opportunities to pay inequity. Something I and many know all too well.

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile." Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner. Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

The biggest problem with politics is all the predictions and takes filling our feeds—like it’s sports. We’re hiring a candidate to work for us for four years. No matter if the election is won with a mandate or by a handful of votes, the winner works for us. That’s what matters.

Magazines should be of-the-moment & cutting edge. Writers working at magazines should report-provoke-challenge-inspire readers for fashion, politics, or any topic. Perhaps if more editor-in-chiefs understood this we wouldn’t be consolidating Teen Vogue. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

One of the best parts of living in LIC is the NYC marathon on my street🏃‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🌐🗽

Wow, that was seven games dramatic, suspenseful, electrifying, beautiful baseball. #WorldSeries  ⚾️

Looking at my feed feeling positive about… ⏩️President Obama GOTV for gubernatorial candidates Spanberger (VA) + Sherrill (NJ) and praising NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani. ⏩️Governor Newsom and others —especially VP Harris— rallying for Prop 50 to fight back for all of us.

Yesterday, courts ruled that the president must keep funding SNAP and cannot require proof of citizenship to vote. Big wins for the people, although we shouldn’t have had to fight these fights against the president in the first place — as the president works for us.

We need all sorts of public infrastructure in LIC where I live—sewers, parks, schools, expanded transit, repairs to public housing, etc…it’s endless and it’s not just in LIC. But sure, build a ballroom addition onto the White House—its as if our president doesn’t know who he works for…🙄

I marched today because I am a patriot, I love our country, I believe in our country’s constitution and promise despite this president and our imperfect history. 1

Shohei Ohtani’s 3 home runs, 6 scoreless innings, 10 strikeouts to be NCLS MVP & help the Dodgers win the National League Championship in a sweep to go to the World Series is a tremendous athletic feat no matter the sport, exciting baseball no matter the team you root for & one for the record books⚾️

No🚫🤴kings marches next Saturday should be led by dancing inflatable kings—lion🦁kings, toad🐸kings, rat🐀kings, burger🍔kings, and an entire🦖dancing🐻inflatable🦄menagerie like in Portland (and now Illinois!) Let’s march with irreverence and joy…to mock and baffle our wannabe king.

Those who take issue with Zach Bryan’s song “Bad News” because of their idea of what country music and artists are supposed to be, might want to take a listen to Johnny Cash’s “Man In Black” or ponder on why Cash gave concerts at prisons.

“While some national news outlets in the US have been referring to the fans’ behavior euphemistically, as ”raucous“ or “unruly,” let’s call a spade a spade: The behavior was pure misogynistic abuse, and it’s a growing movement in American culture right now.” www.glamour.com/story/the-mi...

I hope whoever buys “El sueño (La cama)” plans to hang it in a museum / public space for people to experience it. Especially given that the “painting has been out of the public eye for almost 30 years” Also hope the public will be able to see ahead of the auction. www.artsy.net/article/arts...

We see you, Northeast Public Health Collaborative! #NortheastPublicHealthCollaborative #WestCoastHealthAlliance

Happy #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! It is not building an ideological movement & demanding purity to it that will save us. It is our engagement in civic life, in our democracy & the disagreement, discourse, consensus that’s part of it that will. That starts with voting.

“Statistically speaking, women shaping luxury from the top down are as rare in 2025 as they were in Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel’s 1910s heyday.” www.marieclaire.com/fashion/lack...

Paying attention New York State? Go back into session now and pass the MELT ACT—which prohibits ICE and other law enforcement agencies from hiding behind masks while interacting with the public!

East Harlem leaders want MTA to repurpose train station abandoned in 1800s https://gothamist.com/news/east-harlem-leaders-want-mta-to-repurpose-train-station-abandoned-in-1800s

This is Rochester doing what we all need to do. Shame that one person was still taken by ice before the crowd chased them away. www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...

Despite the clown that was very good.

ESPN / ABC will do as they do but IDK how reaction to trump at the U.S. Open can be blocked: ⏩️Roof will likely be closed—it will be LOUD (rain to clear around time match starts) ⏩️Social media is a thing ⏩️It’s NEW YORK CITY ⏬️This is what happened before he was president

I was rooting for Amanda Anisimova. Both her and winner Aryna Sabalenka are strong competitors / fighters and fun to watch. Amanda will be a grand champion. And I appreciate Chris Evert on the broadcast naming Aryna’s power and emotion as positives that make her a role model and help her win.

Felix Auger-Aliassime played some of the most exciting, dramatic, fun to watch tennis during this year’s #USOpen including the match tonight. It was a privilege to watch him.

Everyone watches women’s sports. Two three set thrillers. Not sure thriller is strong enough word for the second one. And Saturday there’s the final. #USOpen 🎾

I’m not engaging in “who’s running for Nadler’s seat” discourse because in 2026 I’m not engaging in primaries outside of my districts—and if mine aren’t competitive, beyond voting, I’m not engaging in those either. My focus: taking back the House so we have future primaries to engage in.

Women aged 50 and older working full-time, year-round earn roughly 75 cents for every dollar earned by men in the same age group. On this Labor Day and beyond…until it doesn’t exist, I’d like politicians to enact policy to end the wage gap. That’s smart economic policy.

Before all else I am rooting for an extraordinary tennis match. And I am rooting for Coco Gauff to win today. #OsakavsGauff #usopen 🎾

Felix Auger-Aliassime. WOW! 🎾 #usopen

Novak Djokovic brilliance tonight. #USOpen🎾

Congrats Barbora Krejcikova and Taylor Townsend. I wanted Taylor to win but nonetheless that was an excellent, powerful, suspenseful match. The kind of tennis I love to watch — and why I love women’s tennis. #USOpen 🎾

As today is the first day of the U.S. Open and trump is president (sad), I share this: Years ago, before trump was president or running for president but when he was spreading gross racist lies about then President Obama, he was at the U.S. Open on the first night of the first week.

U.S. Open tennis! First time Sunday start! Rooting for brilliant fun tennis! 🎾

Watch the full clip⏬ 🙏🏻 @warren.senate.gov 💙

This was the perfect rally today…short, (not so) sweet, solidarity with Texas dems, and a clear statement that New Yorkers want to fight back and if that means redrawing the maps, we will redraw the maps. The figurative fancy gloves are off and the figurative boxing gloves are on🥊LETS GO!

Today in NY (& across the country) we stood in solidarity w/ Texas dem state legislators who are doing their job working for the people—standing up to a wannabe king. Just like the Texas legislators, NYers will fight back bc just like Texas no one messes w/ NY & in every state…people hold the power.

What’s happening in Alaska today is a grotesque disgrace. Putin is a tyrant…worse. Our president, a wannabe tyrant, standing beside him is a stain on our country for the world to see. An insult to my values as an American and as a human being. The only true patriotism today is from the protesters.

Seems like this is a positive, constructive use of AI. www.bbc.com/news/article...

All of this and perhaps the most important ⏩️ making sure women get paid equally to their male counterparts. Many of us get paid 80% or less on the dollar than our male counterparts. www.forbes.com/sites/meliss...

These are exhibitions that every American, regardless of party affiliation, ideology, or disengagement should experience. Might actually expand our understanding as only art can. news.artnet.com/art-world/am...

So the day before we celebrate our independence from a king, the republicans bow down to a wannabe king and totally disregard that they work for the people.

Yes, I will go to Bay Ridge after work in a storm to stand with constituents of Rep Nicole Malliotakis as they hold her to account to vote no on the budget bill. Just like I will go to Bay Ridge to knock doors for her democratic challenger when the time comes.

Adding a note about hospitals. If this bill passes hospitals will close, limiting access to healthcare for millions and cutting jobs! Where I live, 10 hospitals serving Queens residents have shuttered since 1985. Not ok, but Queens residents have other options—not so in many rural communities.

This year in a community meeting right after the inauguration, my neighbors questioned our local elected leaders about what was going to happen and what action they would take to protect us, our communities, and our country. 1/

Why aren’t we, and more importantly our elected leaders + candidates running for office, talking about “how little our cities, states and federal government have valued and prioritized women’s health for more than 30 years...” and what they are going to do about it?!?⏬ msmagazine.com/2025/06/10/t...

I was trepidatious marching today because of safety concerns and I am not sure it’s the most effective tactic. But nonetheless it is a good tactic to counter the birthday/military/silly parade that the narcissistic, unserious, felon, wannabe king threw for himself—very “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

This morning, on the first day of early voting, I ranked Zellnor Myrie first for Mayor of NYC. Not lost on me that we can early vote because early voting was one of many voting access bills that Senator Myrie sponsored and got passed in his first month as a NY State Senator.
