May we all be reminded of what true fearlessness is and stand strong against the abuse of our justice system. We have your back! #nyag #resist #nokings

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Swear-her-in! She won fair and square and her district and resident deserve to have their vote restored to the United States Congress. #respectdemocracy #votersmatter

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

A little joy for my timeline…

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Vaccines save lives. The Feds have abandoned proven science putting our communities at risk. Please get your flu shot to
protect yourself and the vulnerable. They only work if enough of us get our shot and stay safe together. #vaccinessavelives #healthmatters #science

Flu and COVID-19 vaccination rates are down - 36% fewer COVID-19 doses and 18% fewer flu doses have been given so far this season compared to last year.

To make it easier to track these trends, we have launched a new Respiratory Immunization Dashboard.
Respiratory Immunization Data
Dashboard updates will occur on Wednesdays by 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

The illegal invasion by the Feds of Illinois and other states must stop. Local law enforcement does not need militarized help to serve their community. #nokings #followthelaw #resist

As the federal judge in Oregon recognized, “this is a nation of Constitutional law not martial law”. Within 24 hours we will be filing a legal challenge to the President’s unlawful deployment of the National Guard.

👇🏾If you want Americans to die sooner- raise their health insurance premiums and force them to pick rent, food or healthcare! #trumpshutdown #governmentshutdown #nokings

This is a Republican shutdown. By refusing to do their jobs, MAGA Republicans are causing health insurance premiums for Indianapolis families to increase. This is not the time for political games when lives are on the line.

The pain is knowing that too many people have enabled the President to grab power and break systems. We must fight back, speak up and not given in. Thank you for shutting down the harmful budget proposal and standing up for the American people. #governmentshutdown #nokings

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

They rant, rave, slur and threaten. The so-called President does everything but actually govern. Now the government is shutdown- the “deal maker” can’t seal the deal. #nokigs #wethepeople

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Isn’t that the ultimate election denialism? Not swearing -in the clear winner- if that’s not moving the goal line then I don’t know what is. #wethepeople #givetheoath #stopthedistractions

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Freedom of speech is a right is enshrined in our Constitution. It is now being trampled. We cannot live in free speech segregation based on who says what. I’m shining light on the silencing of #jimmykimmel and standing for #freespeech even when it challenges us.

Let’s hope the the first amendment continues to stand. Powered by the People is elevating the power of the people! #speakup #speakout

We beat Paxton again in the 15th Court of Appeals.

Turns out you can’t cancel the First Amendment just because you don’t like what your political opponent is saying.

Rampant gun violence is unique to the US and costs too many lives. There is no place for it in our democracy. I pray for the loved ones of #CharlesKirk. May we find more commonality than division.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

The stack of laws broken by Trump and his minions is higher than the Empire State Building. Impeachment is the least we can do to rid our nation of this Facism. #ImpeachTrump #resist #nokings #illegalactions #protectourcities

Trump tried hard to justify his unlawful deployment of troops to police protests in Los Angeles. But a federal judge ruled that his use of the National Guard for local policing violated federal law.

Our Framers strongly opposed rulers who turn armies against citizens.

Breaking news: The Trump administration violated federal law with its use of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs.

RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat?

Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.

I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.

I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

Very privileged. I think it says something strange when I can pay taxes online or register a vehicle but in Texas I cannot register to vote online even if I have a state license. Not designed to be accessible.

On #LaborDay we celebrate the fight of workers throughout history who've laid it all on the line for the pay and conditions we deserve.

We also fully recognize that we're living through a historic moment for workers right now!

Signed before flood relief. Before flood warning sirens. Before any other bill on his desk.

The governor's no. 1 priority was always the racist, rigged maps.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday signed into law a new congressional map President Donald Trump requested to give Texas Republicans five new seats in Congress and help the GOP hold the House during the midterms.
