Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate.
Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again.
Well, make my day, pal.

Still paying off debts from the campaign but I’m very privileged to now have a salary. The fact is, most Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. We have to pass transformational legislation to help the largest group in our country: the working poor.
If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.
70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.
This country is no stranger to racism and discrimination, and today the SCOTUS is helping to continue this tradition.
By ending affirmative action, this Court has enshrined racial inequality in our education system.
Together we will fight this.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) slammed the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action as a “giant roadblock” in the “march toward racial justice.” https://t.co/hVyxtLfKTG
Extremely disappointed to see #SCOTUS upend years of legal precedent that have served to ensure access to higher education for the most marginalized among us
The successful Promise NYC program has provided hundreds of families with child care in its first few months -- essential support for working families.
The FY 2024 budget MUST include $20 million to continue Promise NYC’s expansion.

Guns are the #1 killer of our generation, so our lawmakers shouldn’t put gun industry profits before our lives. We rallied to reinstate the bipartisan assault weapons ban yesterday, but we’re not stopping there.
We’ll continue to fight for a future free from gun violence.
.@CIRSEIU says Dr’s strike at Flushing + Jamaica hosps averted at the stroke of midnight: “The deal includes 18% salary increases over 3 years—the wage pattern recently set by NYSNA nurses who went on strike earlier this year” plus wins “on patient loads and out-of-title work.”
I’m happy to hear that physicians at Flushing and Jamaica hospitals have reached a tentative contract agreement to prevent what would have been a devastating strike, both for our healthcare professionals and the health of our community. https://t.co/QCzX3HSsx9
