As a New Yorker, Giuliani offends me. He should crawl back under the rock he scurried out from underneath. I lived through 9/11, and it should not be politicized by our politicians. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/n...

Then why did you keep it a secret @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? This doesn't pass the smell text.
Here’s AIPAC-backed @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social expecting us to believe Trump’s son-in-law/Israel envoy Jared Kushner asked him for a private meeting to discuss… the affordability crisis 🤔
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov NYC resident. In no world is this acceptable.
This alone is the reason to vote out @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I’m beyond disgusted. @schumer.senate.gov don’t think we haven’t forgotten about you.

I started making jam as a way to deal with stress when I lost my job. I’m now employed but today rhubarb is $9.99/pound. Last May it was $4.99/pound. I am employed but can’t afford to make jam. So much winning. /s

Schumer: “I have many jobs as leader.. and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs. I will continue to fight for it. “We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, under my leadership than ever, ever before. We will keep doing that.” Video by Jacob Kornbluh
@schumer.senate.gov Your obligation is to the people of New York and the United States — full stop. You don’t work for Israel, you work for us. You swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution. Fighting for Israel is not your job, fighting for Minnesota is. Do it.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov it is past the time to defund ICE
SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.
@schumer.senate.gov An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, a civilian woman, and federal authorities are investigating her and her wife. ICE agents in Minneapolis are racially profiling and making stops without proper probable cause, terrorizing the community. Do your job.

@schumer.senate.gov it’s time.
Nancy stepped aside when her time came. Joe stepped aside but made the decision too late in the game. But it seems that Schumer is stubbornly going to hang on no matter what, and what the base wants doesn’t seem to matter a whole lot.
@schumer.senate.gov this one’s for you. Signed a constituent and former supporter.

How about if blue states keep their Federal tax dollars to fund what’s being cut by Doge? Thinking research, air safety, CDC. Any surplus then goes to blue states who dont have enough money to cover what’s been cut. Red states benefit from the investments in safety and research.
