The Democratic Party needs to be the party of builders. That starts by building more housing. Big thanks to @ebottcher and @keithpowers for delivering on the Midtown South mixed-use plan.
Great news: The @NYCCouncil Zoning & Land Use Committees just voted in favor of the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan!. MSMX re-legalizes housing in the heart of Manhattan, delivering nearly 10,000 homes & helping create a more vibrant neighborhood. Final step: full @NYCCouncil vote!

We can’t wait to build housing, fund transit, and defeat MAGA. That’s why I’m running for Congress. Thanks to @majorgarrett for having me on @takeoutpodcast to talk about our campaign for the future in NY-12.

NYC accounts for 43% of national ridership and only receives 17% of federal funding for transit projects. Meanwhile, the transportation secretary wants to build a nuclear reactor on the moon 🤦.
EXCLUSIVE: Sean Duffy will announce expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, his first major action as interim NASA administrator.

For those of us who want to see peace for all Palestinians and Israelis, the notion of Israel occupying Gaza is completely unacceptable. This further threatens Palestinian civilians and needlessly risks the lives of the remaining hostages. The US should forcefully reject this.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, according to multiple reports .

In Congress, I’ll bring a bill to the floor to end partisan gerrymandering, once and for all. Until then, disarmament is not an option.

This is a true test for the Democratic Party. While Republicans work to ratf**k Texas’ congressional maps, we can either lie down or fight back. I say we fight back.

If the last 24 hours made one thing clear, it’s that New Yorkers are ready for new leaders. Thank you, NY-12. We’re just getting started.

Trump is trying to turn the clock back 50 years. On our rights, on our freedoms, and on our democracy. The answer is not leadership that was in office back then. It’s leaders who will work to ban corporate PAC money, impose term limits, build new housing, and make life

We can’t afford to wait for better leadership. We can’t wait to take on Trump. Or to fight for a more affordable city. The fight is now. Thanks to @mkraju for having me on to talk about our campaign.
26-year-old @liamelkind joins @mkraju hours after he launched his campaign to represent NY in Congress, asking longtime Rep. Jerry Nadler to consider retirement. "We need leaders who have the energy, and the urgency, and the vision, frankly," Elkind says.

The Democratic Party is dying. Losing votes. Losing elections. And losing our democracy. Today I'm announcing my campaign for Congress in NY-12. Because we can’t wait for new leadership.

Last night’s shooting in midtown serves as a clear reminder of the desperate need for federal gun safety legislation. AR style weapons don’t belong on our streets, full stop. To the victims, may your memory be a blessing. New York City mourns for you.

I’m proud to be a Democrat. Unfortunately, not enough Americans feel the same. Clearly, the same old playbook isn’t working.
