I’m on my apartment balcony to illustrate how Donald Trump’s corruption and contempt for the rule both threatens our democracy *and* affects our everyday lives.
Behind me is the Gateway project, a $16 billion effort to build a new rail tunnel across the Hudson. It's the most important infrastructure project in the country, vital to the economy of New York and the rest of the northeastern U.S..
The work will stop today—with thousands of jobs lost—because Donald Trump *illegally* cut off the funding.
Why? Because he wants *Penn Station* (and Dulles Airport) to be named after *him*.
So the fight against Trumpism is both about democracy and our economic well-being. It’s *one* fight.
It’s either Trump or us. We can’t go on with him another three years.
And that’s why I’m running for Congress.

Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world.
Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting.
Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”
BREAKING: A furious Mayor Frey explodes at the irony that we'd have to question whether Trump's admin would abide by a lawful court order. "The answer BETTER be yes... the answer has to be yes if you are a patriot!"
This hits hard.
How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.
President Trump is being booed like this because Americans hate ICE and their unnecessary violence.
Trump can get a standing ovation if year two is peaceful and productive.
DJT needs to focus on the working class who elected him over the “equity elites” who gave huge donations
… and for the love of God, just recall these masked agents beating non-violent/non-criminal immigrants.
Time to get focused 47

Trump’s greatest legacy: The destruction of truth.
Trump’s 2nd greatest legacy: The destruction of shame.
Trump’s 3rd greatest legacy: Convincing millions & millions of Americans that their fellow Americans at the DOJ, the FBI, in military leadership, & in the intelligence community - who work every day to defend us & help keep us safe - are our enemy.
