As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life.
As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

And that wasn’t the only sellout. The establishment also:
👉🏽 Sent $1B to private school vouchers (SB 2)
👉🏽 Gave our beaches to Elon Musk (HB 5246)
👉🏽 Banned THC to protect their donors (SB 3)
Texans deserve leaders who fight for us, not to protect billionaires and the status quo. #txlege

The 2025 #txlege session screwed over working Texans.
While 40% of Texas families can’t afford basics, the establishment used the first major vote on the House floor to advance HJR 4, handing Wall Street a forever tax break, written into our Constitution.
We’ve got work to do.

Our government only works when elected officials can serve the people without fear. My heart is with the families of Rep. Hortman and Sen. Hoffman. I stand with our Minnesota colleagues — choosing courage over hate, and doing the work to protect our democracy from extremism.
A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

This year the American Society of Civil Engineers put out a report card and for the first time since 1998, America had no D- categories in infrastructure. We finally spent four years investing in local communities, building new manufacturing, making our lives easier. No more, we have lost momentum.

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it.
It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.
