This is why I’m cautiously optimistic — in the long run.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

Mike Johnson is powerless to stop this:

So am I.

What he said: 💯 🎯

It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

The climate crisis won’t wait and neither will we. With this team, we’ll meet it head-on.

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

New York will always be a city of immigrants. When we protect the communities who keep this city running and uphold our sanctuary laws, we create a future that’s safer for every New Yorker.

To be fair, that one meeting was with someone who he characterized as a communist Jew-hater jihadist who was going to crash New York City to boot. Go figure.

“I’ve got the best poll numbers I’ve ever had! Red hot!!!”

Friends as we transition into 2025 & the unknown please use this for your mental health. Please Worry about what’s in your circle not the stuff outside your circle & outside your control. I promise you’ll be better off both physically & mentally.

My New Pet Project To Distract Me From The Really Stupid Timeline We Find Ourselves Living In: I'm reading the original novels that were the source material for a few of my favorite movies. And how are all of YOU coping these days....? 🤯

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

Things like this keep happening.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Authoritarians fear only one thing: DEFIANCE‼️ (Downtown Portland)

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

They’re doing the banana costumes!!! 🍌

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you? Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18 #NoThronesNoCrownsNO_KINGS 👑

Himes: You know, it's the Pete Hegseth insecurity that requires a constant marination in testosterone and fraternity-boy macho bullshit that, at the end of the day, would be funny if it weren't both lethal and counterproductive to actually dealing with the nation's drug problem.

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

"For too long, our leaders have forgotten New Yorkers with disabilities. We have been failed by those with their own agendas, those who care only about holding on to power to remain relevant and serve their own egos." - Quemuel Arroyo

An honor to receive the endorsement of of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter. I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup
