Tonight @JamaalBowmanNY lost the Democratic primary race in New York’s 16th District to AIPAC-backed challenger George Latimer. I spoke with Bowman earlier this year about AIPAC’s mission to unseat him.

I asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) what are House Dems going to do to about Pres. Donald Trump’s executive order to eliminate DEI programs?

I spoke with U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost about the executive orders Trump issued Monday night.

“You know a lot of people online were like ‘wow there was some sort of coordinated effort. All this stuff happened yesterday.’ Well yeah it’s called Project 2025.”

I spoke with U.S. Rep. Cori Bush to discuss the case of Marcellus Williams. Here’s her message to Missouri Gov. Mike Parson if he fails to stop Williams’ execution.

[Innocence Project @innocence]

With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. https://t.co/2wq41v09Hj

Marcellus Williams is slated to be put to death next month, however today’s hearing could set him free.
