He's not running for Governor. He won't endorse the Dem Nominee for Mayor. He attacks most Women in Politics (Hochul, Tish, Shola) but silent about Cuomo. Take a guess who I'm talking about.

Ritchie Torres doesn't care about Zohran. Only cares about media. He attacked Zohran for weeks. Said that he would leave NYC if Z won & would run 4 Gov if Zohran lost. Zohran wins; still won't endorse. Now, Ritchie putting out a resolution in defense of Zohran?. GTFOH. Boy Bye.

A good moment to ask what have been changed in these districts to make constituents' lives better.
My district—New York’s 15th—has the second-highest Medicaid enrollment rate in the nation at 67%. The highest? California’s 22nd District, where 68% of residents rely on Medicaid. For Representative David Valadao to vote for a trillion-dollar cut to a program that serves more

Lemme make sure I get this right @nytimes. Your big scoop is that a man born in UGANDA, AFRICA identified himself as Black and Asian. Sweet Mother of Mercy 🤦🏾. Glad that you all waited until after Juneteenth & Black History Month for this revelation.
SCOOP: Mamdani Identified as Asian and African American on College Application. 🧵⬇️I report with @DanaRubinstein and @NPFandos for @NYTimes: Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat running for mayor of New York City, was born in Uganda. He doesn’t consider himself Black but said the

As a Reverend, a Son of Immigrants, a child of a two time Cancer survivor, an overcomer of a Heart Murmur, someone who endured Police Brutality twice, has eulogized my Father and a Brother & a DEMOCRAT. Don't fucking tell us that our parties are the same. Matthew 25. Hugs!.

.@JustinBrannan, pls get that ActBlue ready.
My soulless DC rep @NMalliotakis says “nobody loses benefits” and then goes on to say seniors on Medicaid should get up off their couch and go work 20 hours a week to keep their insurance. Then she runs away. NY's 11th Congressional District has 300,000+ people on Medicaid.

What station are you on again?.
Dont forget we are in this situation because you took your party so far left that a majority in this country found your party unelectable.

Let this sink in. They are going to spend more $ on ICE than many other Law Enforcement agencies COMBINED. Happy Pre Independence Day.
With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

Republicans are about to cut Medicaid, Medicare & Education. Anti DEI Bill Ackman wants to help Eric Adams over our Democratic Nominee Zohran Mamdani. Yankees lost again. This is not how I envisioned going into the 4th of July.

Paging @MrDavidJohns.
Holy shit. The new Trump bill will ensure only RICH kids even have a chance at going to GRAD SCHOOL. It eliminates Grad Plus entirely (which allows full cost of graduate school to be covered.) It caps coverage at $100,000 for grad students, $200,000 for medical and law students.

The NYC CLC today with broad and overwhelming support proudly endorsed Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York City following his victory in last week’s Democratic primary.
