Great news!
The NY State Democratic party has woken from their slumber and passed two resolutions regarding our district:
1) Senator Felder should be kicked out of the party for caucusing with Republicans for six years
2) They will support Senator Felder's challenger - me!
If you had voted to make Andrea Stewart-Cousins the Senate Leader in 2013, instead of a Republican, the #RHA would have passed years ago—and women’s reproductive rights, in New York State at least, wouldn’t be in jeopardy today. Just sayin. https://t.co/BNuRISKziR
So, we just did it. Thousands of petition signatures now filed with the Board of Elections. Signatures for affordable housing, public school funding, immigrant rights. Signatures to give Central Brooklyn a choice on September 13.
Today's a good day. 📋 📋 📋
Andrew Cuomo refuses to return the $64,000 Donald Trump has donated to his campaign. Why? Because they both want to preserve the status quo for real estate developers and Wall Street. We're raising $64,000 by midnight tonight to counter Trump’s donations: https://t.co/8MO8CTa1Fm
Bold. Upon her release, while wearing a "White supremacy is terrorism" shirt, #TheresaPatriciaOkoumou says, "Michelle Obama, our beloved first lady that I care so much about, said that 'when they go low, we go high.' And I went as high as I could." https://t.co/kbjshQPTw7

My dearest Ben,
I came across a wounded red hat today along the road. He begged for me to help him. I must admit, he was in such a piteous state I couldn't help myself. I gave him my remaining thoughts and prayers.
He died anyway.
Love forever,
A.J.

How to fix corruption in Albany:
1. Reform voting laws to make it easier for citizens to participate.
2. Forbid legislators from earning most kinds of outside income so they have no financial stake in any legislation.
3. Close the LLC loophole.
4. Publicly finance elections.
Live in New York State? Call @SenSchumer and let him know he needs to pull out all the stops to end a SCOTUS nominee! Do some wheeling and dealing, Chuck! Also, #ReuniteTheFamilies asap!!
