Remembering Alvin Bragg's historic inauguration 4 years ago, and excited about his new term to build on his successful @manhattanda.bsky.social record of reducing gun violence by 66%, investing in mental health solutions, and holding the powerful accountable. photo by: Julie Skarratt

Happy New Year!

Brad Lander approached Nancy Pelosi at a gala and told her he was running for Congress. “I am a Dan Goldman Democrat,” she responded. “Democrats don’t run against Democrats.” “Was I too much of a b—?” she asked after. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social tells the story:

Agree. If we want competitive elections, accountable institutions, and communities that feel seen and heard, we must rebuild the local press that makes democracy real. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/07/l...

Christmas night Chinese dinner delivered a fortune predicting a great start to the new year. Cheers to that. 🥠

“The starpower of his office, along with a stabilizing level of violent crime in the borough, allowed Bragg to draw a wide margin of electoral support for a first-term that was defined by a set of new progressive policies and a hard line on violent crime.” www.amny.com/law/in-2025-...

Take a minute to read how Congressman Dan Goldman’s office is actively pushing back against attacks on the rule of law—stepping in in real time to support immigrant families targeted by the Trump administration.

Persistence, hard work, and legal filing of @repdangoldman.bsky.social making a real difference. Fighting, and winning. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

Happy birthday to two of the best legislators and my favorite people @micahlasher.bsky.social and Senator Robert Jackson. #twins

For months, ICE illegally blocked my colleagues and me from conducting oversight of facilities where immigrants were held in inhumane conditions. Today, a judge put a stop to it.

“One deeply knowledgeable observer of congressional inquests notes: ‘With Dan Goldman’s skills he would be one of the most effective members in the next Congress.’” Read more about why it is so important to re-elect @repdangoldman.bsky.social here⬇️ www.politicswarroom.com/p/mamdanis-f...

I know politics has taken over this story a bit, but FWIW, I first found out about what Goldman was doing months ago. I learned about it from the activists and immigrants. He is a crucial part of the fight against NY's courthouse detentions.

Court watchers have built what they call a "habeas machine" with @repdangoldman.bsky.social. For months, the congressman'office has been a rapid response center. Families go there after a loved one is detained and lawyers immediately get on the case. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/new-...

The real work of protecting New Yorkers from ICE is not being done for cameras. It's done in quiet rooms, where advocates, activists, and @repdangoldman.bsky.social and his incredible team are working around the clock to fight back. Must read ⬇️ talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/new-...

Advocates told us something powerful yesterday: our presence changed the dynamic inside 26 Federal Plaza and ICE agents finally respected people’s rights when a member of Congress was watching. We will keep up this oversight so immigrants can attend court without fear or intimidation.

Excellent op-ed by @richiefife.bsky.social about the need for local journalism in NYC!! It's not just local flavor - it's crucial for democracy. Local elections decide important matters that affect our lives - we need more than social media, PAC mailers, and vibes. In @nydailynews.com

Sharing my @nydailynews.bsky.social op-ed, which discusses the decline of investment in local journalism in New York and the urgent importance of reviving it. Welcome your thoughts, and please retweet. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/07/l...

"Reviving local journalism is not a luxury; it’s an urgent necessity. If we want competitive elections, accountable institutions, and communities that feel seen and heard, we must rebuild the local press that makes democracy real."

“The family also thanked Father Fabian Arias of Saint Peter’s Church, Congressman Dan Goldman’s office, and their legal team for their assistance in helping to reunite them.” x.com/amnewyork/st...

Trump is tearing apart families and turning routine immigration visits into nightmares.   ICE’s unjust and unwarranted detention of Allan Marrero, an LGBTQ New Yorker, is yet another example of this cruelty.   My office is working closely with Allan’s husband and legal team to reunite them.

After a week in ICE custody, Deglis Salazar Osuna is finally home with his family.   I'm proud to stand with the advocates who fought tirelessly for him, and my office was proud to help coordinate his release and return of his property. Justice is possible when we fight together.

That’s Amore

Boo-m!!

A bright start to a new decade. Thank you to all my friends, family, candidates & campaigns that have gotten me here, made me better, and filled my life with learning, laughter, and encouragement. Appreciate you all!

One of those days you feel like you are howling at the moon. #HarvestMoon

Huge crowd came out for well-deserved street naming for Bill Perkins, a legislator who fought with courage, heart and passion and never backed down - standing up for Exonerated 5 and first NYS elected to support @BarackObama. We can use more like Bill now.

In this time filled with so much fear, anger, and uncertainty, when it’s hard to watch the news and easy to get disheartened, it was a joy to celebrate the marriage of my son and his new wife, a couple full of love, purpose, and optimism, inspiring all of us to keep choosing hope.

At the @usopen last night, and Shakespeare in the Park’s ‘Twelfth Night’ at the Delacorte Theater tonight. How great is NYC! #Summerinthecity

Looks like Mayoral debate produced some fireworks!

Strong, enthusiastic endorsements of @santanaraymond for City Council by @dr_yusefsalaam and Pam Perkins. “Together, we will form a strong team fighting for the community.”

Tom was a great, passionate and caring reporter who always worked to get it right. If you want to understand why local journalism is so important, go back and read his articles in NYDailyNews and Village Voice. www.journalism.cuny.edu/2025/05/in-m...

Congressman Rangel was a true giant who I had the privilege to work with and learn from throughout my career. I will miss his insight, spirit and most of all his guidance and friendship. Seen here in my first campaign with Governor Hugh Carey and Congressmember Shirley Chisholm.
