We have the power to send a message through our holiday spending! Women in the U.S. account for 85% of consumer spending and we’re ready to show corporations that we DON’T support racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-worker policies. If it’s from Amazon, Home Depot, or Target, #WeAintBuyingIt!!

If GOP members of Congress had made a video last year under the Biden administration, saying to the military that they didn’t have to obey illegal orders, everyone would have said “Huh?”

Because there was nothing close to that even happening.

It would have produced a collective shrug.

💥INVESTIGATION: For over a decade, ‘Pravfond’ has been providing legal aid to Russians abroad. Internal emails obtained by journalists show how it collaborated with Russian spies, funded propaganda efforts, and built points of influence along the way.

As holiday travel picks up, we have heard reports of travelers being detained by DHS.

If you are a NY-14 constituent worried about detention, consider filling out an ICE privacy release form. This form allows my office to contact ICE on your behalf ⬇️

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Yes! A broad majority of the Parliament agrees: the EU must take more action against Orbán!

My report on the rule of law in Hungary was adopted with a majority of 415 votes, urging to take away Orbán's voting rights and to freeze EU funds.

We must stop his breakdown of democracy and human rights.
