With everywhere I’ve been on this planet and above it, nothing compares to being by your side. Happy birthday, @GabbyGiffords. You make every day a beautiful day.
BREAKING: The boos aren’t just inside MSG, they are OUTSIDE too.
We’re getting reports that every-time Trump’s face is shown on screen New Yorkers can hear booing from residents all over the city. This is historic.
This morning when I was conducting oversight at 290 Broadway I saw two disturbing developments and ended my visit in a heated exchange with ICE.
It’s time to get Trump’s ICE thugs out of NYC and to #abolishICE.
I want to be calm and clear:
This will impact every American who is not a multimillionaire.
One accident.
One bad day.
One diagnosis.
That’s all that separates most people from needing the social safety net they spent their entire lives paying into.
I met with the Marine Security Guard detachment at @USembMoldova. These Marines are stationed far from home, keeping our people safe in a region living in the shadow of Russia's illegal war with Ukraine. Thankful for their service to our country.
BREAKING: Blue states TRIUMPH over Trump as a federal judge deals him a crushing defeat and blocks his jaw-dropping $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications.
The courts have become MAGA's greatest enemy...
“Here, the substance and application of the $100,000 payment reveal that it is a tax, regardless of what the payment is called,” wrote U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin, siding with a coalition of blue states in their argument that Trump exceeded his authority.
Since the $100,000 fee is essentially a tax, it violates the Constitution by usurping powers that are reserved for Congress. Once again, we see Trump attempting to shred our founding document, only to be backed into humiliating defeat. As it turns out, the Constitution is far more resilient than these Republican fascists had guessed.
The visas in question allow companies to hire foreign workers for specific jobs and are widely used in the tech sector. Regardless of one's thoughts about the program, Trump can't be allowed to unilaterally exert control over it like he was attempting to do. The $100,000 would have been paid in most instances by the sponsoring employers — giving the administration yet another financial cudgel to extract concessions from companies.
It may sound reductive, but incident after incident after incident has borne it out to be true: If Trump wants something done, it's safe to assume that it's bad for America. Every time he loses in court, it's a victory for our democracy.
The suit was brought by 20 Democratically-led states and spearheaded by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell.
Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!
I hope you’ll join me in wishing Ashley Biden a very happy birthday today!
Her work lifting up others, especially those too often overlooked, reflects the very best of the Biden family: empathy, resilience, and a deep belief in people.
Wishing her a wonderful birthday and year ahead. 💙

Just left the DOJ where I was looking at unredacted Epstein Files. As always, it’s sickening to read testimony from women who detail years of abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and other billionaires who’ve yet to be prosecuted.
We must end this White House cover up.
