I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

‘Cleave’ can refer to splitting something apart.

‘Cleave’ can also refer to the uniting of two things.

…what?

A word that is also its own opposite is called a ‘contronym.’

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The curatorial process for “An Incomplete Haunting” began two years ago, before Trump’s reelection. Indeed, its themes suggest ideas that have long been percolating in the ether as the country barrels toward fascism.

Trump has undertaken an act of war in Venezuela without seeking congressional approval, or even informing Congress. This is illegal, reckless, and comes with serious repercussions. Oversight from Congress is how we reign in a president hellbent on endless war over defense.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.
