Donald Trump ran for President promising to end wars, not start new ones. Today’s unconstitutional military action represents a new, dark chapter in his endless series of betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos. In a city as global as ours, the impacts of war are felt deeply here at home. I am thinking of the New Yorkers with loved ones in harm’s way. While Donald Trump bears immediate responsibility for this illegal escalation, these actions are the result of a political establishment that would rather spend trillions of dollars on weapons than lift millions out of poverty, launch endless wars while silencing calls for peace, and fearmonger about outsiders while billionaires hollow out our democracy from within. For Americans middle aged and younger, this is all we have known. We cannot accept it any longer.

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.

Oh, Matt. I’m so so sorry. The love you share with your dad has always been a wonderful thing to witness here. Sending you all my love.

As a New Yorker, I just called Senator Gillibrand's office to demand she defend all of our civil rights by fighting for Mahmoud Khalil. I called Schumer's office, too, but they're not taking messages over the weekend. Will call in the morning. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

Happy birthday to YOU. Congratulations and lfg xx

Happy birthday AND I’m so excited to be reunited on socials! 🩵

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Cannot WAIT

Some of us, to be honest, were afraid to get out of the car

Wait, Maggie, this is the exact biscuit that I bought almost every day one summer in London, from the little chip shop down the street, and that I'd never found again despite searching and googling and wandering and salivating.

Got lost on the quad

Just got here, be with you in a sec—gotta make up the extra-long twin & Fun-Tak this Starry Night poster.
