$1 is too much AIPAC money.
NEW: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said on WNYC that he receives only $10,000 from AIPAC's PAC, but FEC records show the group has flooded his campaign with more than $1 million in earmarked donations. A conduit used by AIPAC, Democracy Engine, may funnel more. https://t.co/FjEBt2mp1L

Some personal news: I'm running for Congress! I've never been afraid to fight tough fights, and I've never been afraid to take on bosses and bullies in either party to get things done. This is a people-powered campaign. I hope you'll join us.
I’m running for Congress in NJ-11 to save our democracy, because ‘blue no matter who’ just won’t cut it. We need real, unbought leadership to fight the oligarchy, stand up to Trump, and make our economy work for working people. 1/

Reparations are a step towards equality. People love to quote the man, but too often they don’t know what the man stood for. This is the inconvenient Dr. King.

I praised Mayor-Elect Mamdani for his meeting with President Trump to deliver for his constituents. I want to praise Mayor Wu, too. This is what coalition politics looks like, difference of opinion and public discussion. This isn’t ‘messy’ and she’s not being a hater, this

The DOJ under Obama: * Did NOT file a federal statement of interest in the Tulsa survivors’ lawsuits * Did NOT launch an investigation * Did NOT examine government complicity * Did NOT pursue wrongful-death models like used for Japanese internment * Did NOT use the Civil
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

I remember being asked over and over again: "You seriously believe Israelis would kill Palestinian civilians on purpose!?"

David Huerta is back in court TOMORROW because this administration thinks attacking one labor leader will silence millions. They’re wrong. We don’t bend, we don’t bow, and we stand with David today and always. Justice for David. ✊🏿

Healthy criticism and dissent does not equal hate. It’s important that we maintain our principles because the movement for justice is bigger than any one person. There must be robust discussion and honest accountability.

Whenever Black Americans advocate for reparations, white supremacists say “you weren’t alive then.” Mother Viola Fletcher was alive for the Tulsa Race Massacre and y’all denied her, too. We’re coming for our check.

Mayor-elect Mamdani is an incredible campaigner and I hope his vision to provide provision for New Yorkers passes city council and gets support in Albany. That said, endorsing Representative Jeffries to be the next Speaker of the House does nothing to help that. This is not
Welker: If Democrats win the midterms, do you want to see Leader Jeffries become the Speaker of the House? Mamdani: Yes Welker: OK, that was a firm quick answer.
