Who doesn’t love a good heist? On Sunday Commodity thieves took less than 10 minutes to mount a ladder, cut the Louvre’s Apollo wing window, snatch 9 jewel-laiden baubles (dropping Princesses Eugénie’s crown) & exit… 👑

I'm signing two landmark bills to strengthen California’s fight against hate and antisemitism in schools — creating new accountability systems and requiring stronger responses.

As antisemitism and bigotry rise nationwide, we’re taking action to confront hate in all its forms.

In the country's richest city, more than 140,000 kids don't have stable or permanent housing.

"Every Child and Family Is Known" — a small pilot program that pairs school staff with students and families in shelters — has shown real promise. I will double its funding and scope.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

BREAKING: The ICE officers at 26 Federal Plaza hate it when I show up for court observation.

Here’s my good-faith offer: if they’ll stop abducting people, I’ll never come again.

@bradlander.bsky.social has. My utmost respect, especially for going to jail for illegal arrests of immigrants in courthouses, but equally for his humility. Let him and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social win thé 4 Nov NY Mayoral race together
In response to a suit by @maketheroadny.bsky.social a federal judge has blocked Trump’s expanded use of “expedited removal.”

The courthouse abductions w/o due process that we’ve been protesting are illegal—and must stop.

We’ll be back next week to make sure they do.

If MAGA wants to return to the scene of the crime, we’ll just tell the truth. Trump incited a violent mob on January 6, 2021 to block the peaceful transfer of power after he lost the election 306-232 and failed in 60 federal and state court lawsuits.

MAGA and their rag-outlets not only pretend January 6, 2021 was a “beautiful day,” as Trump says, but defame police—many of whom were beaten, hospitalized and disabled by Trump’s rampaging mob—who bravely defended our democracy.

Back the Blue or Back the Coup? It’s up to you.

The times that we are in force us to think not just like legislators, but like litigators (not to mention demonstrators).

House Democrats are using every means available to defend the Constitution and the rights of the people against tyrants and ripoff artists.

With ICE deploying from the US Naval base in Chicago, Trump’s Truth Social caption is all the more poignant “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning...' Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR”

There was no greater champion for the poor, the bullied, the disabled, and forgotten Californians than John Burton.

His legacy is not only written in the policies he helped enact, but in the countless lives he touched and uplifted, including my own.

Last night, yet another person died on Rikers Island — the fifth New Yorker to lose their life in City custody within the last two weeks and the 13th this year.

These deaths are a result of Eric Adams' failure to reckon with the crisis of violence and neglect in our jails.

In this I so agree with Sanders that Democrats should be ashamed of themselves not rallying behind @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social (especially while Trump talks about deporting #Mamdani)
An incredible night at Brooklyn College with Bernie Sanders. Thank you to everyone who packed the house and watched from home.

The fight against oligarchy is on the ballot this November - and together, we will win.

Banger after banger after banger. The Mamdani campaign is so good that I'm excited for its impact on the upcoming primary season in congression races. Good candidates are going to learn from this.
I am once again asking you to stop sending us money.
