Proud to stand with these three Michigan champions for a politics of solidarity that focuses relentlessly on the needs of working people. All three of them are hustling to turn out voters until the minute polls close tomorrow. (1/3)

ICE activity in NYC has increased significantly in recent weeks – and with Trump’s TPS cancellations, we fear they may ramp up detentions of Haitian New Yorkers in the coming days. (1/3)

A real honor to earn the support of @giffords.org. If there's anyone who embodies the spirit of courage and resilience, it's @gabbygiffords.bsky.social. I'll go to Congress striving to follow her example as a tenacious gun safety champion. (1/2)

Props to the brave students in India who forced the resignation of the Modi government’s education minister. These brave students staged a peaceful sit-in protest that lasted a month, went on hunger strike, and endured violence from the Delhi police. (1/2)

The Army Corps of Engineers was created in 1775, so it’s been building infrastructure to protect us for longer than we’ve been a nation. And they’ve got a long & deep history in NYC, including critical work after 9/11. (1/4)

This story is both shocking and not the least bit surprising: an OpenAI model that was being tested for its abilities hacked the infrastructure surrounding the test, worked over the weekend while no one was looking, and cyber-attacked a real company, well before OpenAI noticed. (1/3)

EXCLUSIVE: Its AI agent spent days hacking a company, but sources say OpenAI did not notice for a week

OpenAI noticed after the threat was contained and the FBI was alerted, people familiar with the investigation say.

Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers & neighbors who planted & painted the grounds of NYCHA LES II yesterday, as part of the “She Builds” 10th Annual event with Rebuilding Together NYC. Great to be a part of the deep history of tending community gardens on the Lower East Side.

One month ago, the voters of NY-10 made me the Democratic nominee for Congress. I remain profoundly grateful to our incredible team and supporters, humbled by the faith New Yorkers have placed in me, and – most of all – energized for the urgent fights ahead. (1/3)

They just so desperately want to control women’s bodies & life choices.

We’ve seen so much cruelty from ICE over the past year. But using kids as “bait” to arrest & detain their relatives is a new level of evil. I witnessed it last week at 201 Varick Street. Per this article in the Texas Tribune, it’s happened over 100X. (1/3)

ICE arresting relatives trying to take custody of migrant kids

Attorneys say the federal agencies are using children as “bait” to detain sponsors, leaving kids waiting in shelters for months.

If you were worried that New Yorkers wouldn’t know what to do with themselves after the end of the remarkable Knicks/World Cup run … you needn’t have worried! Thanks @brooklynbotanic.bsky.social for last night’s ethereal soundbath in the Cherry Esplanade (1/2)

Thanks you @newyorkstateag.bsky.social! This is the kind of fight we love to see.

We just won a court order stopping the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. while our lawsuit continues.     We’re going to keep fighting to keep costs down for consumers, protect jobs, and stop this illegal merger.

Democratic voters (and the American public writ large) are making themselves heard loud and clear: We must not keep funding Netanyahu’s wars. Props to the 100+ Democrats who voted that way last week. Democratic leadership is going to have to catch up. (1/3)

House vote exposes Democrats’ widening divide over Israel

The symbolic vote showed how far Democratic politics on Israel have shifted, as progressive candidates turn anger over Gaza and U.S. military aid into a campaign issue.

I’m very grateful that no one was seriously injured this morning at 26 Federal Plaza. Let’s be clear: we want ICE off our streets, but there is absolutely no room for violence in the movement to protect our neighbors. None. (1/2)

One of the best things Democrats did last year was turn the government shutdown into a fight over healthcare subsidies. Let’s do that again – but this time, hold strong to the end. We must be clear that we will only vote for a budget that restores the healthcare subsidies Republicans cut last year.

The line right now isn't between progressives and moderates. It's been fighters and folders. And I'm going to be doing all I can to help fighters like @pkryan.bsky.social win a Democratic majority that'll deliver for working people. You can help too by going to patryanforcongress.com.

Resident physicians & fellows are healthcare heroes – and so often badly overworked & underpaid. One-third are international medical grads facing the added stress of Trump’s crackdown. (1/4)

I’m excited to support @juliopenabk.com to be Brooklyn’s next Democratic Party Chair! It’s time to usher in a new era of county leadership – accountable, committed to reform, and ready to bring the “Fight Don’t Fold!” energy Brooklyn’s Democratic voters are demanding.

In a less deranged version of our country, skies full of smoke would inspire us to bold climate action. There’s an American majority that loves blue skies & air we can breathe more than fossil fuel profits.

Glad to see @governor.ny.gov’s strong move to rein in data centers, until we can put guardrails in place. I'll support a similar moratorium at the federal level. We need smart protections to address the risks AI poses to the environment, jobs, privacy, attention, and humanity. (1/2)
