Senate Republicans just introduced a plan in their Big Ugly Bill to sell off 250 MILLION acres of OUR public lands.

We must stop it.

If this bill passes, our public lands will fall into the hands of fossil fuel interests.

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.

See what public lands would be available for sale:

Gov. Kathy Hochul (@governor.ny.gov‬) arrived at the federal immigration building later, hugging Lander’s wife before going inside.

“I’m here to show support for Brad Lander and everyone else who’s in this situation,” she told reporters outside the building.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.
Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Sen. Padilla speaks on the Senate floor for the first time since being forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Los Angeles press conference. Padilla emotionally recounts his experience, asking, “what will a city already on edge… think when they see their U.S. senator being handcuffed?”

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was forcibly detained inside an immigration court building Tuesday morning by masked federal agents as he attempted to escort a man from his court appearance there.

In the chaotic scene at around noon, Lander asked the agents repeatedly to show a judicial warrant.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.
