As parents, we deeply feel the pain of Michael and Susan Pretti. They lost their son Alex—a dedicated nurse, a kindhearted man who spent his last moments trying to protect another person.
The lies this administration is telling about Alex are disgusting and reprehensible. The truth is clear: Alex Pretti was not holding any gun. He had his phone in one hand and the other raised while defending an innocent woman—and ICE agents killed him.
This cowardly violence cannot remain silent. We share his parents' words en español because they deserve to be understood by everyone. Alex was a hero. And we demand justice.
Share this message. Say his name. Alex Pretti.
It seems that Noem graduated from killing a dog and a goat in rural America to killing people, in urban America, with a squad of “matones” that we are funding!
Nothing stops Spanish class! ❄️ Today's lesson brought to you by Mother Nature.

My wife @ltmphd and I wrote this op-ed for @CityAndStateNY about a deeply personal issue: the right to make our own end-of-life decisions. After 47 years of marriage and a lifetime in New York, we want the choice to die with dignity in the place we call home.
We're urging @GovKathyHochul to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act—legislation supported by 70% of New Yorkers and leading medical organizations across the state.

BREAKING: The U.S. Secret Service has shut down access to the park where journalists are filming the White House East Wing demolition.
Trump doesn’t want you to see this.
Keep sharing.
What a night at the Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere with @ltmphd by my side!
Tonatiuh’s breakout performance is absolutely stunning—a star is born. And huge congratulations to my dear friend @WhitneyinMT for producing this incredible project.
This film means so much, especially seeing our community so powerfully represented on screen. With Tonatiuh's brilliant breakthrough alongside @diegoluna_ , @JLo , and this amazing cast bringing these stories to life, it's a reminder of how far we've come and how much our voices matter in cinema. Go see it in theaters this weekend! 🎬
What an honor to join my son @Lin_Manuel on @TODAYshow with @jennabhager and Justin to talk about @buenavistashow ! 🎶 This show celebrates the incredible legacy of Cuban music and the brilliant musicians who created it. So proud to be part of bringing this story to Broadway.

Yesterday Democrats in my neighborhood came together behind our nominee @ZohranKMamdani for Mayor of NYC.
As @RepEspaillat said: "New York City is at a tipping point." We need a mayor who will tackle the cost of living crisis and won't flinch when Trump's allies attack our city.
Zohran has shown he's willing to challenge systems that serve special interests instead of the people. His agenda is clear: affordability, universal childcare, and a city that works for ALL New Yorkers.
I’ll spend time during the next several months making sure my neighbors elect him.
Representation matters. Opportunities matter. Opening doors that are usually closed to so many matters. How is it that we Latinos subsidized movies but we don’t make them? An opening!

Our family has always fought for @PPFA , and we're fighting even harder now when @GOP politicians want to cater to MAGA fanatics to block essential care. When Luz joined @PPact's board after the 2016 election, our son @Lin_Manuel headlined a fundraiser because this cause matters deeply to all of us.
Your freedom to access sexual and reproductive healthcare — from birth control to STI testing, cancer screenings to wellness exams — is under real threat. That’s why we’re asking you to call your member of Congress and tell them to protect Planned Parenthood. Our communities deserve these vital services.

Convicted Trump continues to lose Latino support according to a new #equispoll with 60% disapproving of his job as president. Important to note that @TheDemocrats are now trusted more on cost of living and the economy. Getting ready for mid-terms!
What an honor to receive an honorary doctorate from @MountStVincent and deliver the commencement address to their inspiring graduates yesterday!
To the Class of 2025: The education you've achieved is transformative—it creates new possibilities for you and your families. I encourage you to embrace this new chapter with passion and purpose. Your success makes your communities proud, and your contributions will ripple outward in ways you can't yet imagine.
Congratulations!
Let's celebrate in politics and in the arts! My friend @jasonesteves is now a candidate for Georgia’s governor. We’ll be there for him during the primary and then the election! On the film front, @tribeca is showing in this year's festival, "Watch Over Us," which I executive produced & on Broadway, @buenavistashow got three The Drama League nominations!
How cool is this?! The @HamiltonMusical original Broadway recording has been inducted into the @librarycongress's National Recording Registry! No other cast album has been inducted since 1979.
As Hamilton’s celebrate its 10th anniversary, this prestigious recognition highlights the impact @Lin_Manuel's groundbreaking work has had on musical theater and American culture.
Special thanks to @JoaquinCastrotx for championing this nomination and consistently advocating for Latino artists to be properly represented in our national cultural institutions.
