US Congresswoman, NY-14. In a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no American should be too poor to live. People-Funded, takes no lobbyist💰. Personal account.
We’re back-back-back again 🥳
From announcing the American Climate Corps and supporting historic labor strikes, to responding to 1000s of neighborhood requests and getting school supplies to kids, it’s been a packed year.
Time for a recap! 🔁
Check out our 23 wins from 2023:
I asked
@JosephEStiglitz
, longtime
@Columbia
scholar and Nobel-winning economist, what the establishment doesn’t understand about what campus protesters are trying to say.
The status quo cannot continue in Gaza. Famine is imminent. I joined 50 NGO leaders to call on President Biden to use all leverage, including security assistance, to secure a series of steps that would help address this humanitarian catastrophe:
WATCH: I just spoke to UT students protesting for peace in Gaza.
"We must continue raising our voices, because no matter what Greg Abbott says, our movement is rooted in love."
“Laws of the school?”
That’s not a thing.
The inaccuracy of what constitutes a law in your statement is highly concerning, considering it is law enforcement putting their hands on kids.
NYPD promised to not call counterterror SRG units on protests.
It’s time to keep your word.
Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would…
The assassination of political rivals as an official act.
Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value.
This is not a game.
Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?
"That could well be an official act," Trump lawyer John Sauer says
No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.
You will not distract us from this immoral war.
Several here, like Reps. Lawler and D’Esposito, are vulnerable NY Republicans in tight seats.
They have played a key role drumming up pressure to crack down on students and asymmetrically police Palestinian human rights speech.
Those campus hearings? GOP-led. They need to lose.
Republican Reps. Mike Johnson, Virginia Foxx, Nicole Malliotakis, Anthony D'Esposito, and Mike Lawler met with loud boos at Columbia.
The Republicans have mostly stood by Donald Trump, who hosted a Nazi for dinner & recently said Jews who don't support him "should be spoken to."
Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force.
NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests.
So why are these counterterror units here?
Sen. Sanders’ family was killed in the Holocaust. He dedicates his every moment to realizing tikkun olam.
His commitment to protecting innocents in Gaza stems FROM his Jewish values.
He and many other Jewish leaders deserve better than to be treated this way. This is shameful.
The newly-established
@ClimateCorpsUS
is an amazing way to serve your country and join the fight against climate change all at once.
Thanks to
@POTUS
and
@RepAOC
, our country is creating even more opportunities to invest in the advocacy and leadership of young people.
🎉 Big change from
@USDOT
:
If your flight gets delayed or canceled, airlines now have to refund you automatically in CASH.
Refunds cover:
- Delayed flights (3+hrs domestic, 6+ hrs int’l)
- Airport changes
- Added connections
- Service class downgrade
- Accessibility changes
Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.
Summer Lee's overwhelming victory in this primary shows you can be a principled critic of the war in Gaza and US policy without paying a political price
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements.
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes.
This is a game changer for American workers.
Calling in police enforcement on nonviolent demonstrations of young students on campus is an escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act.
It represents a heinous failure of leadership that puts people’s lives at risk. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
