First-in-class politician, For the People.
Courageous, class act, who actually passed the torch.
Punch-thrower and in stilettos.
Hot dog consumer, as if she wasn’t cool enough.
Savior of paid leave.
Historymaker, trailblazer.
I want to be like Nancy Pelosi when I grow up.

The @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social has fought slumlords and polluters—and when Bondi tried to take over the MPD he sued the next day. He won. He sued again to halt the National Guard.
He spends his free time reading to little kids in DC schools.
Let’s be like Brian. Let’s re-elect Brian. #FreeDC

The “richest men in the world are all media owners or executives”—and capitulated to Trump. Anyone running to change this country has to change the game. They have to understand media and how to reach people in ways a lot of folks saying they’ll stay in office or run again seem to fundamentally not.

This month we are asking who you do the work for, who you fight for—billionaire backers and wealthy corporations, or working families and our future?
In difficult times, this movement gives me hope. #PaidLeaveForAll is about all we share and what matters most, and I believe it is the path forward.

Four years ago on this day I was in New York with @governor.ny.gov and Paid Leave for All—we were supposed to be joined by Tish James but she had business to attend to by mid morning. Let’s affirm who this man is, now coordinating with Donald Trump on an election he already lost.

My son spoke on a stage for the first time to defend Medicaid. When I asked if he was nervous, he said, no, what’s more important than sharing someone’s story. #FamiliesFirst #CareNotCuts

I’ve always said the strongest candidates start talking paid leave (even better alongside freedom)—because it’s the right thing to do, and it’s also the politically smart thing. From NY-17 dad and candidate @mikesacks.bsky.social’s email this weekend —
