Flacks rejoice!

This oughta be good — a piece I wrote for New York Magazine about Risa Heller, New York's queen of crisis comms, has been optioned by A24, sparking a bidding war in Hollywood. Lizzy Caplan is set to play a Risa-like character.

The Department of Education plays a key role in our children's success, providing funding for over 2.6 million students in NY alone.

I was proud to stand with @GovKathyHochul & teachers in NYC to fight for our children's futures. The White House cannot shut down the department.

NYJP welcomed 150+ politicos on Tuesday evening. Thank you everyone for coming!

[Virginia Maloney @vmmaloney]

Had a great time and really interesting conversations at the packed New York Jews in Politics meetup earlier this week.
Thank you @_moshedavis @evawyner @aglesser_ & @PesachOsina for inviting me to join. Congrats on such an amazing event!

I'm standing with members of the New York delegation in NYC today to demand Republicans end their cap on the state & local tax (SALT) deduction.

This unfair policy created a system of double taxation, & it's well past time Republicans fix their mistake.

After working for ERA champions @CarolynBMaloney and @SenGillibrand, I never thought this day would come.

Being free and equal under the law are the guiding principals our nation was founded on, and now it’s actually true.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified:

The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.

“You will have to change how you see women to do this job well and I don’t know if you are capable of that.”

Kirsten Gillibrand/(D New York) in the opening of her questioning to Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth:

"You will have to change how you see women to this job well, and I don't know if you're capable of that."

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

I am incredibly honored to serve as DSCC chair for the 2026 cycle. From now until Election Day, I will work my hardest to support our Democratic incumbents, recruit the strongest possible candidates, and ensure they have every resource needed to win.

[Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny]

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! I'm wishing everyone in New York and across the country a day filled with peace, joy, and quality time with family.

[Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny]

I'm deeply disappointed the spending bill passed last night didn't include permanent funding for the World Trade Center Health Program.

I'll never stop fighting to make sure survivors & responders get the care they need, & I'll continue to make this a top priority next Congress.

Earlier today, the national archivist preemptively stated that she would not legally certify the Equal Rights Amendment as part of the Constitution.

By taking this unprecedented step, she is wrongfully inserting herself into a clear constitutional process, though her role is purely ministerial.

Our argument has the support of legal experts, twenty-three attorneys general, the League of Women Voters, and the American Bar Association. I remain undaunted, and will continue to urge President Biden to direct the archivist to certify and publish the ERA and codify equality in the Constitution.

🌟 It’s an all star cast for @CarolynBMaloney’s official portrait ⭐️

Just got great news from our partners in D.C.!

Congress is taking major steps towards regulating lithium-ion batteries with new national safety standards.

Thank you, @SenSchumer, and all who worked tirelessly to get this done! This will prevent devastating fires and save lives.
