Congratulations to the graduates of East River Academy, who earned their diplomas while incarcerated on Rikers Island. No matter where your journey began, this milestone belongs to you. You earned it, and I'm cheering you on.

It's funny that the newspapers treat DSA-endorsed candidates like they are Bastille-storming revolutionaries when in reality DSA members are almost comically procedure oriented

NYC is testing an adult gender affirming healthcare office as a pilot program. This low/no cost clinic is a good first step but there is more work to be done! Both Mamdani and the health commissioner have indicated they are working to expand care to trans youth.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said it is time for the Democrats to ignore party leaders, embrace a “new vision,” and call for the abolishment of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

We’ve helped 223,000 New Yorkers maintain access to their SNAP benefits, but there are 40,000 New Yorkers who are still at risk of losing their food assistance. No one in the wealthiest city in the richest country on Earth should go hungry. Call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) to protect your benefits.

You need to read Mamdani’s “Mayor’s Order” repealing kids’ bedtime so they can watch the Knicks in the final. This is how to do politics with joy.

The stuff going around about how conservative art isn’t good/doesn’t exist is interesting because what it means, which is true, is that the American conservative wing 2026 is completely incapable of making good art. There are several reasons for this but they boil down to the absence of vision 1/3

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history. We're building 200,000 affordable homes. We’re overhauling code enforcement. We’re cracking down on bad landlords. We’re creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.

Still reading up on the details, but seems like Mamdani managed to do excellent politics & disciplined budgeting to close a massive (inherited!) funding gap -- all without slashing services & while communicating effectively to New Yorkers throughout the process. Pretty good!

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Today, alongside Speaker Menin, I continued our call for a reduction to the Passthrough Entity Tax Credit (PTET) — a tax break for some of the wealthiest New Yorkers. As we face a historic fiscal deficit, we ask that those with the most pay their fair share.

Scammers are stealing homes from New Yorkers. We’re launching the Mayor’s Office of Deed Theft Prevention to defend vulnerable homeowners, and we are pausing the tax lien sale for the next six months as we review and fix a broken system.

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating. One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Yesterday, I visited an apartment in Harlem with HPD inspectors to check for lead-based paint and other hazards. To protect families, NYC requires inspections of homes built before 1960 with children under 6. If your home has lead-based paint, or other hazards, call 311 or file a complaint online.

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

We shouldn’t have to dust off history books to find Democrats leading with courage & ambition. Universal child care would reshape our economy, give families breathing room & opportunity, and prove that government can work for working people.

Mayor Mamdani, Sen. Warren: Everyone benefits from universal childcare
Affordable childcare means parents aren't forced to choose between raising their kids and keeping their jobs. It means better outcomes for all of us.

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!
