During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.

The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Do Democratic Party leaders have a communications plan ready for Trump's passing away? Or will Democrats allow the GOP to dominate with a narrative of Trump's "great achievements"and appointment of "an heir to MAGA leadership"?

Sen. Kelly: “This is about a president who doesn't want anybody to say anything that he does not like. I don't think he understands the Constitution. I think he is ignorant to the Constitution and the rule of law…This isn't about me. This is about what he will do next.”

Many people bought TESLAs in the past for environmental reasons: an electric car! No responsible person would buy a new TESLA today. Elon Musk is a fascist--a danger to all of humanity and our planet.

I have several bird feeders with squirrel "baffles" preventing the squirrels from climbing up and eating all of the seeds and suet---and starving the birds. Birds are messy eaters....drop a lot of food. The squirrels get plenty of food that the birds drop.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Today, I am feeling so much gratitude to so many people: family, friends, and colleagues new and old. But I am especially thankful for everyone who is fighting the good fight to make our city and our world better and more just. We’re in this together. #ThisIsYourCity

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

It was a joy to join Rev. Dr. Robert L. Jeffrey, Sr of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, the Low Income Housing Institute, and other community leaders to break ground at a new affordable housing project. Over 90 families in the Central District will be housed as a result of this multi-year project

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
