AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

On Monday, I joined community leaders in the South Bronx for a listening session to identify shared priorities for 2026.
Working with our local service providers, organizers, and small businesses is incredibly meaningful. I’m honored to keep doing this work together.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a deal with the devil.
It hikes up taxes on people making less than $50,000 while cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give Elon Musk and greedy billionaires a huge tax break.
You do the math. Is that worth it to you?

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.

In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.
