Together, we fought for a city for all of us. Now, we’ll build a City Hall for all of us.

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love.

New Yorkers deserve to be able to afford to raise families here.

Having served with Raul Grijalva and worked with him on environmental matters, it is a particularly joyful to see his daughter Adelita take up his mantle in Congress. I am happy for Raul and the nation. Finally.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva gonna be a thorn in Speaker Johnson's (and Trump) ass and America need more strong leadership like hers. Not taking the high road, she called out John's actions for what it was, "an abuse of power". 💪🏽

NYPD's annual budget is $5 billion. I'd immediately slash $250 million to fund mandatory after school programs for children.

Pkus, 1-2% tax increase on millionaires to fund jobs training and apprenticeship program for 16-27 year Olds.

The world has focused on Zohran Mamdani, for VERY good reason. 🙌🏼
But don’t forget- he’s not the only one.👊🏼
Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is on 🔥….
Much like Mamdani, he is focused on the right thing- affordability.
And fighting ICE.

The rich & powerful showing how money corrupts. Whining on national tv because they can't get access to Mamdani.

When Obama and Clinton tells you they can take money from lobbyist and PACs without being influenced, I hope you laughed.

The wealthy has most politicians in their pockets.
 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."
