For 14 years, Dreamers have made America better in every way, throughout every day.
They are our neighbors, our friends, and our loved ones, and they deserve to continue calling this nation home – because it’s the only one they have ever known.
It’s past time for Congress to
Is anyone surprised that a celebration of the worst of America ended with a bigoted attack on a woman who embodies the best of it?
I’m not.
This classless fool fits right at home with the whole tacky spectacle and the trashy president who threw it.

Happy Black Music Month!
Black musicians have helped shape the cultural fabric of our nation through the power of song, rhythm, and storytelling. The history and experiences of the African diaspora in America have influenced and transformed nearly every genre of music, including jazz, country, gospel, blues, rock and roll, R&B, and hip-hop.
Brooklyn has long served as a cultural crossroads, bringing together traditions and influences from around the world. Our borough’s musicians and artists have made lasting contributions to genres like hip-hop and R&B, and I am proud to represent a community whose creative talents have earned global recognition and inspired generations.
As we celebrate Black Music Month, let's honor the artists whose voices, innovation, and artistry continue to move our culture forward.

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!
