Pay attention Democrats. Mamdani publicly supported our trans community members in a big way & he WON in a big way. THIS is how you win. You protect people, you don't throw the vulnerable under the bus, you say what you believe. 'Center' does not mean you declare people expendable for votes.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people β€” a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Earle-Sears should listen again. He didn't say "Vote for the Black woman who will discriminate against the most marginalized members of our society."

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

The Mamdani Moment And the Future of the Democratic Party

STOP with talk of the center. The center has not done much for most Americans. Our kids know that and they have turned their back on the Democratic Party. You might think they are young and naive. I don't.I have been willing to learn from them.

I asked Andrew Cuomo some questions On "Morning Joe," I asked the mayoral hopeful if his #MeToo scandals had changed him, and what he missed about Zohran's appeal. Also, I tried to teach him how to say "Mamdani"

Cuomo's answer on what he learned from the #MeToo movement showed that he didn't learn the right lessons. He learned that people are too sensitive and he has to cover his ass better.

On keeping health care coverage affordable, the GOP’s Steve Scalise gives away the game Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans are ready for β€œthoughtful conversations” about the ACA’s future. That’s not, however, what the majority leader said.

Since 2016, we have been hearing that the WH or GOP has been working on a better health plan. It's been a decade... where is it? The ACA is not a failure. Without it, I would have been uninsured for the last year.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

This indictment of Letitia James is not a prosecution; it is a politically-motivated persecution. Donald Trump is using a weaponized Department of Justice to punish a public servant who dared to hold him accountable. This sham proceeding is a direct assault on the Rule of Law.

This is a federal agent pointing a weapon at a person recording them.

ICE has become Trump’s personal military that he is using to terrorize communities and cities that don’t support him. And some say we shouldn’t call him a fascist? Open your eyes.

This is important and needed. My hope is that other Bar Associations follow suit. Our President's actions are illegal and immoral. If not enough people care about the immoral, let the law take care of the illegal.
