The cynics will tell you that one vote won’t change anything. But what they don’t tell you is that nothing can change without a vote. The truth is, the world doesn’t belong to the cynics. It’s up to us. New York: It’s time to vote.🗳️ Tuesday, June 25th. Spread the word.

AOC to @PabloReports: A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI. So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion. Forty percent of economic growth is

This is how I feel about it. I loathe machine politics and got to office defeating an incumbent who got in that way. However there are quite a few problems with choosing to grind the entire House to a halt to force all 435 members across the country to do a rushed vote on this

"Pointing it out" is fine, that's why the good Lord in her infinite wisdom invented Twitter. What I'd ask Members of Congress contemplating this course of action is- does your colleague's behavior rise to the level that you must personally force the whole House to vote on it?

AOC just detonated the House floor: 🔥🔥 “Eight senators are giving themselves over $1 million each while robbing Americans of food assistance and healthcare. How is this even on the floor? How can Congress enrich itself by stealing from the American people?” This is the truth

The average monthly SNAP benefit is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit is up to $550 a person/mo. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. Working people want leaders whose word means something.

It was an honor to break bread with our Mayor-elect @ZohranKMamdani over some of the best momos Jackson Heights has to offer. 🥟 From childcare to rent, New York should be affordable and safe for working families. Let’s get to work! 💪🏽

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @AOC at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Over 100 languages are spoken in our great city and it’s actually a pretty amazing part of being an American. If you are humiliated by America and the diversity that powers our nation’s Nobel Prizes, Olympic Gold Medals, and breakthrough innovations and culture, that’s on you.

Just a couple decades after 9/11, the leading candidate for NYC mayor is campaigning in Arabic. The humiliation is the point.

Wow. What an event. Thank you to the thousands who packed a stadium in Queens, NY to say: New York is not for sale. Together we are going to take on the oligarchs and the political establishment and elect Zohran as the next mayor of New York City.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… They're really aptitude tests, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. The first couple of
