Julio Peña III

Hi @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social! If you vote for this horrible deal, I will spend the next 4 years making sure you are both primaried and retired from the US Senate.

So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

"The bottom line: After a weekend of frequent phone calls among centrist senators, Democrats appeared ready to claim victory and end the shutdown. "What they've been saying for a month is 'We won't negotiate with you at all,'" Coons told us. "That's clearly a position they've moved away from." The gist: A handful of Democrats will supply some eight votes for a new short-term CR in exchange for a promised vote on the ACA tax credits."

This is pathetic - to give in over "a promised vote" - but this is what they were always going to do.

"A handful of Democrats will supply some eight votes for a new short-term CR in exchange for a promised vote on the ACA tax credits."

They are gonna trust the GOP.🤡

In honor of Columbus Day, I have discovered the rich and fertile land of Sunset Park and have now claimed it for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Doei!

Julio Peña, Brad Lander, Alexa Avilés, Andrew Gounardes, and Andrew Gounardes' young boys pose for the camera before the Stand Against ICE march in Sunset Park.

Some more electeds who came out for the #StandAgainstICE march in Sunset Park. @juliopenabk.com @bradlander.bsky.social @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social @agounardes.bsky.social (with tots).

This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen.

The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

The Land Before Time is on Netflix and I’m not sure if I want to relive my childhood trauma.

Voting for Andrew Cuomo is teaching my nephews that it’s okay to harass women, teaching my niece it’s okay for men to harass her, and that those men will be rewarded. Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo today. 🧡

Literally, every conversation I’m having, I am ending it with “Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo”. 💅🏽

When we called out ‪‬ @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social for running a campaign on MAGA $, she called us "an outside group." We've been organizing in BK for 8.5 yrs. And now it turns out that Maya didn't even register to vote here until 2022! See 👇 👇

I don’t know every name here but every name I do know is the sort of Machine Democrat who’s to blame for NY politics. Folks like lead paint defender Erik Dilan. Stay involved in NYC politics, folks being checked out is how they get away with poison.

The fact that the government condones masked officers but wants to criminalize people peacefully protesting is disgusting. If you’re going to have the gall to arrest US citizens, show your fucking face

Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing?

BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial

BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir

BESSENT: Job growth is solid

BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

Had a blast knocking on doors for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social today in Sunset Park! It becomes more evident every day how important it is to have a mayor who actually stands up for our communities and how much we don't have one now.

Had a great day knocking on doors for @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in Sunset Park! Rain didn't stop us from getting out the word about these progressive champions. Great to have Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes join us!

This is patriotism. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

I’m not backing a candidate yet and I think a healthy primary would be good for New York; that being said, we have too much at stake to just blindly support incumbents.

Antonio Delgado, Hochul’s No. 2, Will Challenge Her in Governor’s Race

EXCLUSIVE: Antonio Delgado will challenge Kathy Hochul in the Democratic Primary for governor. “People are hurting and New York deserves better leadership,” Mr. Delgado said in an interview. “There’s an absence of bold, decisive, transformational leadership.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/n...

Justice Jackson's dissent — joined only by Sotomayor — ends with a devastating line:

"Instead, the Court allows the Government to do what it wants to do regardless, rendering constraints of law irrelevant and unleashing devastation in the process."

My computer always conveniently restarts/updates when I have to jump on a meeting. 😒😒😒

I just gave to WFP National PAC - NYS IE! Show your support with a contribution.

🦋 bluesky friends. I need your help. Can we make sure Cuomo doesn’t get elected in NYC? Can you please help me by donating to the WFP IE? I have 20k of you on here….if half of you gave just $100, we would raise $1 mill. This dude has $8.7 million in his PAC. Help!

NYPD Commissioner Stands by Work With Feds Amid Trump Immigration Crackdown Jessica Tisch testified that changes to the NYPD’s cooperation with federal law enforcement on criminal cases would be “disastrous.”

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Thursday that the department is not reconsidering its cooperation with federal law enforcement entities on criminal investigations as the Trump administration radically amps up immigration enforcement inside of NYC.

While the DNC flounders, it's refreshing to know that my colleagues and I are doing what we can to ensure our party is listening to voters and accountable to people, not corporations.

So proud of my New York State Democratic Party State Committee Member colleagues! At the Spring State Committee meetings, we organized with Committee Members from across New York State to pass amazing resolutions authored by John Scott (New York State Economic Bill of Rights), Lydia Green (New Deal for Public Education) and Julio Peña III (Shareable Directory of New York State Democratic Committee Members) ✊🏼💪🏼🙌🏼 Whether in Albany, Ulster, Westchester, Onondaga, or Nassau County, I'll continue to attend in-person (and now virtual, too!) State Committee meetings to represent the interests of the 45,000 Registered Democrats of Assembly District 28 ✋🏼 #NewReformersNY #NewYorkDemocrats #NewYorkOrNowhere #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike
