Seventeen-year-old soccer fanatic Solomon Dubner tries to educate his father Stephen (host of @Freakonomics Radio) — and the rest of the world — about futbol.
You might be seeing a lot of hot takes about how we won. Here’s the truth - it wasn’t that complicated:
✅ Knock on every door.
✅ Say what you believe in.
✅ Earn someone’s trust then their vote.
✅ Tell the special interests they can keep their damn money
#NY11
The story of this country has always been that no matter our differences, no matter the challenges in our way -- we do what others say is impossible. It has never been about what party you are -- we put country first.
Thank you #NY11. Now, it’s time to get to work.
8 years ago I signed that dotted line to join the Army, it's been the greatest honor of my life.
If I'm lucky enough to become your next Congressman tomorrow night, know that I'll never stop fighting to make Staten Island and South Brooklyn proud. This is it. Let’s do this.
This isn't the first time @dandonovan_ny has ignored our children. After Parkland, he refused to hold a town hall to talk gun violence & school safety. Every chance he's had to lead on this issue, he has failed. We don't just need thoughts and prayers. We need a new congressman.
When we started 15 months ago, this race wasn't even on the map. Now, because of all of your hard work, we're heading into GOTV in a dead heat. Thank you all so much for building this movement, now let's knock that extra door, make that extra call to get over the finish line.
🚨 🚨 🚨
The momentum in #NY11 is real. The pundits are catching up to what we’ve always known: Staten Islanders and South Brooklynites are done with politics as usual and we’re going to send that message loud and clear on November 6th.
"I would have moved here sooner, but I was too busy serving my country in Afghanistan. When I voted in Westchester, that's because I was still serving in active duty and I can't control where my parents live. So let's talk about the issues and stop with this nonsense."
Last week I asked @dandonovan_ny to apologize for saying vets aren't "one of us" if they weren't born on SI.
His answer? Refusing & calling me a liar.
That's the kind of person Dan Donovan is.
Thanks @siadvance for pointing out how false his ads are.

We've only got 5 Saturdays until Election Day, and we can't let a single one go to waste. I'll be holding another day of action at our Staten Island HQ this Saturday at 12:15. Stop by and say hi, and then we'll head out and knock some doors!

.@DanDonovan_ny thinks he has a right to say I’m not a real Staten Islander because I moved to this district after I got out of active duty, after I bled for my country? That’s offensive not just to me, but to every veteran who calls Staten Island home. Dan owes them an apology.
.@BarackObama's support is a reflection of the grassroots campaign we're running. Every day, we’re fighting to change our politics, just like he called for years ago. With every door we knock, and every call we make, we are 1 step closer to making our politics what it should be.
Our volunteers are the best in the world, & they’re not stopping from now until Election Day. Each weekend, we've had hundreds going out & knocking doors, but winning an election is a 7 day a week job. Stop by our office any day of the week, grab a turf packet & join them!
Sunday’s kickoff was a huge success! As I said to our 150+ volunteers, behind each of the 5,000+ doors they knocked, there’s a story of struggles, hopes, and dreams for making #NY11 a better place.

.@DanDonovan_ny betrayed us by taking thousands of dollars from Purdue Execs. If you took money from the people who profited off of the opioid epidemic, you don’t deserve to represent Staten Island and South Brooklyn.
