Dear congressional democrats, we all want you to weaponize the rules and disagree. Congressional democrats:

Do @tomsuozzi.bsky.social next. www.votewelch.com

And if they supported DHS funding in January, support their primary challengers. www.votewelch.com

Warrants are already required to enter your home without consent.

There’s really zero excuse to not have a left-wing challenger in every single primary race across the country this year

This is why Black feminist theory made so much sense to me when I read it. Hell any feminist theory centering women of color honestly. It’s also the theory that underpins my book #TheInstigators on why Black women are essential to fighting authoritarianism and building an inclusive US Democracy

Elect more Welches. (No relation, but I do love a good cross-examination.) www.votewelch.com

It seems like Congress could fix this. Of course, we all know how @tomsuozzi.bsky.social feels about profiting on government villainy. You should probably vote for the other Democrat in the race. www.votewelch.com

Weird that collaborating with masked federal agents who are kidnapping children and murdering people in the streets is unpopular. /s

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

Meanwhile, I have represented people in criminal court for playing games of chance with tourists on the sidewalk. Good system we have here.

Yup. Executive Orders aren’t law.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months. Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

Hey, NY. It's primary season. If you see folks with clipboards asking if you are a registered democrat, please stop and help them. It takes appx. 1 minute to sign a ballot petition. People want better candidates. We need 1000s of signatures to get on the ballot. Sick of the collaborators? Sign.

Meanwhile in Gaza.. "Israel closed all crossings into Gaza indefinitely when it attacked Iran, imposing a siege that has already pushed up food prices and threatens to plunge 2 million people into a new hunger crisis" #Israel #Gaza #Starvation www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Good morning! Wouldn't it be fun to have a Democrat in NY-03? Suozzi is an uninspiring centrist. He gives us nothing to believe in, and lately can't even manage "at least I'm not Donald Trump" right. He failed on the DHS vote. He's wrong on Iran. We can and must do better. www.votewelch.com

This is truly vile behavior. Rep. Gill's hatred and ignorance is shameful. Our Muslim neighbors contribute so much to our communities, including compassion and kindness that they are too often denied by others. They are humans who deserve dignity and respect. They belong. They matter.

This is outrageous. The sort of thing that might wake up a sleeping Representative if they cared about such things, eh, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social?

The gap between how cool he thinks he sounds and how he actually sounds would take light eight centuries to traverse.

*unless in Minnesota

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

We don't have any money for the average American or to improve our nation and its infrastructure, but we sure can we afford to spend staggeringly large sums of money killing people and destroying their country. I've included some quotes from Eisenhower. www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov/eisenhowers/...

"I fear my children will grow up thinking hunger is normal[.]"

Third option: elect better representatives.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

He was! One of the top results when you search for him right now is a politico article with the headline "Suozzi: ‘I failed’ when voting to pass DHS funding bill." He was also one of the 1st dems to throw trans folks under the bus, voted to censure Al Green, and opposed impeachment last summer.

Wasn't Suozzi one of the ones who voted for the DHS bill in the House too?

If you'd like to have a representative who will stand up for human rights instead of standing up for Trump, please consider donating to my campaign and/or volunteering to help get me on the ballot if you're local in NY-03! Links for both are at: www.votewelch.com

Choose your fighter. @tomsuozzi.bsky.social says he agrees with Trump, and signals that he simply wants to bomb Iran with a bit more decorum and ideally not for too long. I believe it is foolish to start another forever war with preemptive strikes. We already made that mistake once.

Today's senseless, unjustified attack on Iran makes everyone in the world less safe. It is a mistake, and Congress must act to put a stop to this aggression. Pass the Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution. Trump is not above the Constitution, and the US is not above International Law.

And also impeachment him.

Trump has launched a war of “fury,” to “raze” and “annihilate,” that has already killed dozens of Iranian girls, reportedly cost the lives of U.S. servicemembers, and will kill many more of both. He is acting without authorization by Congress and flouting international law.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

Honestly, I thought it would take them longer to get to "we're taking away Granny's wheelchair".

Much more relatable than investing in Palantir, I suppose.

Hadn't considered having to sit through the SOTU as a human with no poker face if I win this thing. Will just have to get kicked out early with Al Green.

If they want to focus on fraud, waste and abuse maybe they can figure out why the Pentagon has $500 Billion they don’t know what to do with? #sotu www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Makes sense, people famously hate when their representatives show any courage.

Eternally dedicated to being the cellist on the titanic instead of steering away from the iceberg

I wouldn't be sad to see @algreen.house.gov cause some more good trouble at tonight's SOTU. Also, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social is on this list and I am primarying him. www.votewelch.com

I've been assured by some @tomsuozzi.bsky.social fans that Suozzi didn't *want* to vote for DHS funding in January, he just *had* to because it is such a purple district. Kind of seems like that vote might have been about his Palantir stock. secure.actblue.com/donate/danie...

I denounce this vote, I'll stand up to the goons, and I'd really like to raise a million this week (unlike Suozzi, I don't have millions of my own.) secure.actblue.com/donate/danie...

The cruelty is astounding and heartbreaking.

"Prolonged solitary confinement can lead to psychosis, depression, and self-harm, particularly in young people ... [I]ncidents of self-harm that included 'an expression or gesture of suicide' in [Office of Children and Family Services] secure facilities rose 667[%] between 2019 and the end of 2022."
