Spent part of this beautiful afternoon at the Greek festival in the South Slope. Plenty of spanakopita to go around!
Thanks to the Kimisis Theotokou Greek Orthodox Church & school community for a really lovely blend of Greek heritage and Brooklyn diversity.

Thanks to @JFREJNYC for knocking doors in the East Village with me today. The mishpocha that canvasses together, wins together!
Join us at the next one: mobilize.us/landerforcongr…

No doubt about this: the Five Boro Bike Tour is the best the BQE ever looks.

Many more friends along the Five Boro Bike Tour route. Great to see @crystalforbk & @LincolnRestler at the start, and @JumaaneWilliams repping the Knicks hard!
English
The Five Boro Bike Tour is like riding through our city with 30,000 friends! Glad to run into these two on the FDR southbound: @ZohranKMamdani & (fellow former comptroller) @LiuNewYork.

ICE appears to have significantly increased its presence in Bushwick recently. If you see ICE, call or text the Hands Off NYC hotline: 229-304-8720
It’s also concerning that this many NYPD officers were deployed for what was clearly a justified gathering by local residents

Enormous NYPD presence after ICE left. Hearing (unconfirmed) 1 person detained. Nothing happening at the moment other than a ton of cops standing around as a handful of onlookers & responders also stand around. Video taken/shared anon.

I love the New Affordability Agenda that @USProgressives announced this week. Led by my friend @GregCasar, the Congressional Progressive Caucus is committed to take on price gouging, algorithmic discrimination, and corporate greed to win affordable housing, healthcare, prescription drugs, energy, groceries, even vacations.
Working families deserve to be able to afford lives of dignity.
I took on many of these issues in the NYC City Council, winning groundbreaking worker protections & affordable housing. Excited to join progressive leaders in Congress who put the people first.

BREAKING: Progressives in Congress just introduced a bundle of bills to put money back into Americans’ pockets and kick big money out of politics. Half of Americans say it's difficult to afford food. 44% say they can’t afford healthcare costs. 49% of households don’t make enough to cover essentials. Here are the proposed affordability policies ⬇️

Pups (and babies) galore at May’s Coffee Bark. Thanks @FIDOBrooklyn & @prospect_park for the best place on the planet to talk to dogs about their people.
I’m glad to have the dogs of the district in our corner, because they know I’m not in the paw-cket of special interests … but I’ll always show up with treats.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month! Pretty fun to kick it off with a May Day Shabbat with Brooklyn Resisters.
It’s tense time in the American Jewish family group chats. But it remains an extraordinary heritage. So many ways to celebrate & observe, tied together by common threads.
Let’s recommit to recognizing & protecting them, even when we disagree pretty profoundly. And remember that arguing about how best to do that is both our Talmudic & First Amendment inheritance.

It was a beautiful May Day across NY-10. So energized by the workers rising up & organizing together in solidarity.
The creeping forces of fascism are inseparable from the war on workers. And haven't we all had enough of the billionaires exploiting us in an attempt to become trillionaires?
Union power is how we fight back. I’ll be the greatest ally possible to NY-10’s working people as your member of Congress.

Saturdays are for saving the planet! I'm excited to spend tomorrow with a superstar lineup of climate warriors in @billmckibben, @EmilyAssembly, @SDonziger & @ZephyrTeachout.
Come join us for some good conversation about the bold climate action we need in Congress & NYS: secure.actblue.com/donate/breakfa…

Everyone’s doing it! (well, at least 99%). A supermajority of New Yorkers. Even the Pope!
Supporting taxing-the-rich.
While I commend @GovKathyHochul’s support for a pied-a-terre tax, I hope that she won’t stop there. On May Day, let’s think about all of the working people who will be harmed by draconian budget cuts. Tax ultra-millionaires so we can fund healthcare, childcare & public services.

Abdul-Rahman Saleh’s name meant “servant of mercy.” He was beloved by his customers. Last night, we gathered outside Sal’s Deli on Avenue B with members of his family & LES neighbors & @YAMAMerchants to mourn his murder – and to commit to honor his memory by reducing gun violence, protecting bodega workers, and expediting humanitarian travel so his wife & kids can come to the U.S.

Today we begin celebrating AAPI Heritage Month!
NY-10 is home to two vibrant & historic Chinese American communities, Chinatown in Manhattan & Sunset Park in Brooklyn.
All New Yorkers are enriched by the dynamic culture, storied traditions & plentiful contributions of our AAPI neighbors.
In Congress, I'll fight alongside Asian New Yorkers to deliver safety, opportunity & thriving for all our communities.

An important day to talk about reforming — and expanding — the Supreme Court. If we want to stop this radical SCOTUS from eliminating civil rights protections, we’re going to have to act more boldly.
I had a wonderful conversation with @ElieNYC recently about how we can rein in a corrupted & highly politicized court.
The good news: We don’t need to wait for a constitutional amendment! Congress has the power to act. We need the majority … and the will.

Attaboy “has had an outsized influence on the bar industry globally” (per Wikipedia). So far, they’ve set trends with hip craft cocktails & immaculate LES vibes.
Now, their owners have the chance to start an even cooler trend: voluntarily recognizing their union!
It was an honor to join in solidarity with the bartenders & staff of Attaboy Local 134. Hoping to be back soon to toast with a union-made cocktail.

The Voting Rights Act is one of the last lines of defense for civil rights, fair representation & basic democratic norms. Today’s news means we can expect even more extreme GOP partisan gerrymanders. Another authoritarian power grab at the hands of this far-right court.
Congress has an urgent job to do: Reform this corrupt, off-the-rails judiciary with court expansion & term limits.

Congratulations to @CarlMichaelW on a strong victory yesterday in @NYCCouncil District 3. Your experience serving the district, working at City Hall, and fighting for your neighbors will serve West Side communities well.
And thank you to @LindseyBoylan @LaylaLawGisiko @LeslieForNYC for stepping up to run and seeking to serve your neighbors. At this dark moment for democracy, we need more people dedicated to public service.

This group of teenagers isn't even old enough to vote yet — but they're still out here volunteering multiple times a week!
I thought I was inexhaustible … but they give me a run for my money! Impossible not to be inspired by their determination to fight for a brighter future. Truly so grateful to each of them.
