What a night in NYC!

First, I want to deeply thank the people of NY14, who supported my re-election with 87% of the vote - the highest in my history of public service.

It is a tremendous honor and responsibility to be your Congresswoman, and I never take it for granted.

🚨 Former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert has admitted to molesting at least four children while working as a wrestling coach.

A judge called him a "serial child molester."

That “man“ answering questions… It’s not a man. Men have spines.

Sir, I hope you have a son and I hope he saw that. He’ll know to never listen to his father again.

Ho-lee-shit!!!

Thanks to journalist Katie Phang and Trump's corrupt and incompetent acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Epstein files are about to explode into one of the biggest scandals in American history.

A federal judge dropped a bombshell ruling Thursday, ordering the Justice Department to stop protecting explosive documents that the Trump administration has desperately fought to keep hidden from the public.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan slammed the DOJ, siding with Katie Phang in the first-ever lawsuit enforcing the Epstein Files Transparency Act — a bill that passed Congress with near-unanimous support in 2025.

Now Acting AG Todd Blanche is forced to explain why he's been illegally blocking the release of shocking material, including:

ㆍ Names redacted from emails referencing a "torture video" and sexual activity with minors

ㆍ Identities of co-conspirators listed in a draft federal indictment

ㆍ FBI interview notes from a victim who says Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump when she was just 13 years old — and that Trump assaulted her

Instead of doing his job, Blanche arrogantly claimed the court had zero authority to even hear the case. That gamble just blew up in his face.

When you refuse to contest the allegations in federal court, those allegations are legally admitted. Judge Sullivan called it straight:

"The Attorney General has conceded that he is in violation of the Act."

Blanche also never reviewed foreign-language documents in the files and has blown past the legal deadline (December 19, 2025) to explain his shady redactions — by more than six months.

This ruling is massive because the original transparency law had no real teeth. Katie Phang's legal team cleverly used the Administrative Procedure Act to crack the door wide open. Now any journalist, researcher, or watchdog can walk through it.

The judge flat-out rejected the DOJ's excuses. "There is no competing harm to the government” from simply following the law," he wrote.

Mamdani: We want to make it clear that our city does not simply oppose the actions of ICE, but that we are not going to be complicit with those actions either. And that means making sure that every single city agency is in compliance with our sanctuary city policies.

Now, if you don’t know what a sanctuary city policy is, I’ll describe it this way: it means that we do not allow ICE agents into our schools, our hospitals, our city property unless they can provide a judicial warrant signed by a judge. It means that we don’t assist ICE with their civil immigration enforcement. It means that we make clear that we are proud of our heritage as an immigrant city.

Out of 20,000 sex offenders incarcerated in our federal prisons, Ghislaine Maxwell was the ONLY one who the Trump administration moved to a low security prison camp.

Why isn’t this a bigger scandal?
Where is the press??

Trump:
“The prices are tumbling down. We inherited a mess.”

You inherited a 2.9% inflation.
You have ballooned it to 4.2%.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

America hates Donald Trump.

He is an abject failure in every conceivable dimension.

He is the worst President in our history.

Soon, the Trump name and the Trump family will be in the dustbin of history, reviled and ridiculed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

President Obama just COOKED Trump for his obsession with him “I obviously, you know, have a room in his head. Rent-free.”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Today I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

This woman tried to run over four black children on a sidewalk & called it target practice while calling them racial slurs & flipping them off.She then told cops a special present would be coming their way. She only has a $250,000 bond for 10 charges even after admitting to it.
