Only hours after today’s tragedy, ICE is already brutalizing protestors for daring to be horrified by the murder of their neighbor. It’s as unsettling as it is unsurprising.
These men were sent to Minnesota for one purpose; to cause chaos. Do not let them.
Remain peaceful,
ICE’s actions today were unconscionable and reprehensible. I am beyond outraged that their reckless, callous actions led to the killing of a legal observer in Minneapolis. My heart breaks for the victim’s family, who will have to forever live with the pain caused by the Trump
We’ve all seen the disturbing video. DHS’s lies change nothing. This poor woman posed absolutely no threat to ICE, and they still murdered her in cold blood on the streets of her city.
Every last one of these vigilantes, kidnappers, and criminals needs to get out of our
It was five years ago today that President Trump incited his insurrection against the United States Capitol in a violent effort to overturn a free and fair election. His goal was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power that has sustained this country since its founding and
In the fifteen years since Gabby Giffords was shot and 6 others lost their lives in a devastating act of political violence in Tucson, she has worked day and night to turn her tragedy into change.
The gun violence crisis is a policy choice – leaders like Gabby are who will inspire this country to make a different one. It’s a privilege and blessing to call her my friend.
The work continues!

For many working families across New York City, out of control childcare costs have remained a burden they cannot hope to overcome on their own. And that is why I applaud Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul for beginning the bold work of universal childcare with the new 2-care program that will take financial pressure off parents and pave the way towards the affordable city that every New Yorker deserves.
Whatever support they need from me on the road ahead, they've got it!
Gov. Hochul, Mayor Mamdani announce push for free child care for NYC 2-year-olds

The announcement represents a step towards the mayor’s campaign pledge of free universal child care.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
