Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

On Tuesday night, we won our election by 57 points. On Wednesday morning, I traveled to the New York State Capitol to be sworn into office and seated as the Assemblymember for the 36th District.
I'll be back in Albany tomorrow to continue fighting for the people of Astoria and Long Island City.
“I am not running as an individual. I am running as part of a movement, and it is that kind of organized coalition of a multiracial working-class base that brought Mayor Mamdani into City Hall.”
Enjoyed speaking with QNS.com about our campaign!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses Diana Moreno for State Assembly District 36
I'm beyond proud to receive the endorsement of my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social, a role model and trailblazer who has worked tirelessly for working New Yorkers and is leading the fight against Trump's authoritarianism.
I can't wait to work together to deliver for the people of Queens!
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
Read this. Then read it again.
"A Democrat is running in every state and federal race on the Texas ballot next year, the first time in modern state history that either party has fielded a full slate of candidates, according to the Texas Democratic Party."

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.
A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.
BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.
Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.
This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.
We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.
Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies
CICERO, IL — Trump’s ICE goons pepper spray into a family’s car and hits a 1 year old baby girl.
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
After tonight, I've seen enough; he won't change. @justicedemocrats.com is right: it's time to primary Chuck.
The right and obvious choice is AOC.
@aoc.bsky.social, the people are ready to rally around you. The time to run for US Senate has now arrived.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.
Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.
Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."
A screenshot of a social media post by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responding to Riley Gaines. Ocasio-Cortez’s caption says, “Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth.” Below it is Riley Gaines’s original post saying, “We’re being destroyed from within,” accompanied by a photo from a large political rally. In the photo, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and a man in a suit stand on a stage facing a large cheering crowd. They are smiling and waving toward the audience under bright stage lights. The platform shows engagement numbers including comments, reposts, likes, and views.

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.
Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.
