Hands off the CLCPA. Instead of rolling back our landmark climate law, it must actually be implemented the way it was intended. Weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels (and doing so quickly!) not only protects our planet, but it’ll lower utility bills for New Yorkers. A win-win. cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026/0…

Hmmm. Whose picture is the headline image for this article? Your congressmember shouldn't work for crypto billionaires. They should work for you. Keep big money out of NY-10 and out of our politics entirely. cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/…

About time! Pay them what you owe them! As a diehard @nyliberty fan, thrilled to see the WNBA players win the contract they deserve. With the league skyrocketing in popularity, the athletes powering that success deserve their fair share. Glad they reached this deal in plenty of time for 2026 Opening Day!

The WNBA and its players’ union reached an agreement in principle on a transformational new collective bargaining agreement early Wednesday morning. cnn.it/4bF5dHA

You can hardly imagine something more enraging. Taking resources away from 9/11 responders & survivors to sustain ICE's lawlessness is beyond despicable. This is one of those moments when I’d fight (never fold) as your Congressman. We can never let this administration take away critical healthcare from our heroes. pix11.com/news/local-new…

This is a total non-starter and every Democrat should fiercely oppose it. Authorizing a single dollar more for this illegal war would be unconscionable (much less $200B more!). If your congressmember isn’t raising all sorts of hell to stop this, then it’s time to replace them.

If there’s a takeaway from the Illinois primary results, it’s that we need to act NOW to banish dark money from our politics. Crypto, AI, and AIPAC sloshed tens of millions of dollars into these primaries. Many of the ads they ran were deeply deceptive and intended to trick voters. When unaccountable special interests spend this much money on our elections, we all lose. In NYC, I passed a best-in-class Independent Expenditure Disclosure Act, which requires public disclosure of the top 3 individuals who fund an IE. I also helped strengthen NYC’s public campaign finance matching funds program, one of the most robust in the country. I’m running for Congress to bring those policies nationwide and help clean up our politics. In a battle against Super PACs and their dark money, it’s time for a congressmember who’s on the people’s side.

Here’s another fresh act of terror. ICE kidnapping a father on the way to visit his newly born daughter in the NICU. Let us be absolutely relentless in protecting our neighbors. ICE’s lawlessness won’t break our collective humanity or our shared belief that we never have to accept such savage cruelty. ms.now/news/ice-detai…

As grateful as we are for Dylan’s release, we continue to see horrifying news like this on a daily basis. Beloved members of our community are being recklessly ripped away from us. Rafael Rubio should be released immediately and all of us must fight like hell until that happens. x.com/Annie_McDonoug…

SOME GREAT NEWS in this dark time: Dylan Contreras is coming home! Dylan is the Bronx HS student who has been shamefully held in ICE custody since last May – for nothing at all. Thank you to his mom Raiza, Power Malu & Candice Braun from @ROCC_NYC, @nylag, @SenSchumer, and everyone who kept faith with Dylan. So glad he'll finally be reunited with his family and friends. About friggin time.

Tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC money flowed into Illinois’ primary race: crypto, AI, and dark money PACs that hide where the money came from. AIPAC spent $22 million through shell PACs and never even talked about Israel. Sadly, we’re going to see it in our primaries as well. My opponent accepts AIPAC's support. I don’t. Dark money erodes public trust in our democratic process. That’s why I passed the strongest local law in the country – so donors have to sign their names on IEs in NYC. It’s time to get dark money out of politics.

AIPAC has spent $22m to boost pro-Israel candidates in Illinois Dem primaries. But its ads focus on anything but Israel, & it’s mostly using shell PACs to conceal the $ trail, reflecting the increasing unpopularity of the group (& of Israel) on the left. politico.com/news/2026/03/1…

Last night’s Kensington community Iftar was overflowing with community, joy, and creativity. This Iftar – launched a decade ago by Hasiba Haq, @ShahanaFromBK, Arts & Democracy, Caron Atlas, and an amazing set of community leaders – features Muslim women writers & artists. We celebrated with over 500 guests — a beautiful mix of the community of Kensington. We welcomed the great new DCWP Commissioner @saalevine. And of course the food was provided by the one & only Nowshin Ali of Jalsa (the food has to come from a woman-owned restaurant for a feminist Iftar).

Breaking News: @CBSNews refuses to offer their employees a fair contract. Started the day on the picket line with @WGAEast journalists. They're demanding fair wages and workplace protections. If you’ve got $8 billion to buy CBS News, you’ve got enough to pay the journalists enough to live here. Proud to have their backs in this fight. #FairContractNow

The young people of @sunrisemvmtnyc know that the climate crisis & the affordability crisis are linked. We need Gov. Hochul and the PSC to stop allowing Con Ed to raise rates – and to get busy building new renewable energy now. We can’t wait for a favorable political climate in Washington.

The Wall Street Journal calls it “Elizabeth Warren’s Housing Coup.” With legislative & political genius, @ewarren ushered the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act through the Senate, 89-to-10. The bill provides more funding for affordable housing, streamlines construction & removes regulatory barriers, rewards communities that build more housing, and restricts private equity funds from hoovering up single-family homes. So grateful for her leadership … and her support in this campaign. Can’t wait to work with her in Congress toward more big wins like this. prospect.org/2026/03/13/eli…

No Kings, No ICE, No War! But there will be monarch butterflies, fields of flowers, witty signs, resistance songs, and thousands of well-folded zines at the #NoKings march on 3/28 thanks to @indivisible_bk, Brooklyn Resisters, Hands Off NYC and dozens of volunteers who showed up at the Old Stone House today (one of the places the original #NoKings fight was launched 250 years ago).

There’s no place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day like Brooklyn! Thanks to Grand Marshall @pix11magee, to the organizers, the dancers, and the elders and young people who keep history & tradition alive, to @Bobby4Brooklyn (whose grandfather helped found the parade), and to the Society of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick (and their daughters, too).
