Humbled to serve New York's 16th Congressional District from 2021-2025. Former Member of @edworkforcedems and @sciencedems ✌🏿🫶🏿

Washington, DC
Scott Galloway, if socialism doesn’t work, what does? Because what we have right now is plantation capitalism rooted in oligarchy and white supremacy. THIS IS AMERICA. Not Korea or Germany or the USSR. We’re supposed to benefit from the diversity of our cultures and ideas, where political and economic power is shared. But it isn’t, because of a legacy we have been too dishonest to reconcile. We need a system where everyone can thrive. Please tell us, professor Galloway, what system do you propose?

politico.com/newsletters/new… “The hip-hop version of David Axelrod, where, like, I’m a political operative and insider, but from the streets and the culture perspective, where I have a real pulse of what’s happening on the ground...” “There needs to be a continued critique on the current political and economic system, and where it has gotten us. ... It’s just super lazy coming from very important and powerful people, and we just don’t have the luxury to engage in that anymore, as a country or as a world.”

Some people are working to win a Dem majority. Others are working to find another round of CEO funding to summon a 1,000 page policy alternative to Medicare for All. Not going to win the future listening to the worst strategists of the past.

⚡️ New: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced an amendment that could effectively halt all offensive and defensive U.S. military aid to Israel under current conditions, as part of a package of 11 amendments to the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act. 🔸The proposal would require all U.S. defense articles and services to be used in accordance with international law and, consistent with Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, prohibit transfers to countries that restrict U.S.-supported humanitarian aid — unless the president certifies the recipient is complying with those requirements and Congress separately authorizes the transfer. 🔸Its practical force lies in stripping the president’s discretion to look past existing law. Section 620I already bars aid to governments that block U.S. humanitarian assistance, but administrations have repeatedly declined to determine that Israel is in violation despite restrictions on aid entering Gaza. 🔸 Under the amendment, the president would have to affirmatively make that determination, and Congress would have to specifically authorize the transfer through legislation before covered military aid could proceed. 📸 Reuters

This man is just too good at this
Karl: Josh Gottheimer, a Democratic member of Congress, who says, “Many of us believe, as do I, if you’re a socialist, you are not a Democrat.” And in fact, they put out a manifesto today. Mamdani: Sounds pretty socialist to me…. I'm not interested in writing a manifesto or frankly, in reading one. I'm interested in delivering. And that's exactly what we've been showing.

All out for @MelatKirosCO! The primary is Tuesday and there's plenty you can do to help, no matter where you are in the country. Link below.
I’m so grateful to earn the endorsements of my dear friends @DarializaforNY and @claireforny ! We believe in a future where no one goes bankrupt when they get sick, where parents don’t have to take out a loan to send their kids to college, and where the people have the power.

Melat Kiros is right. Thank you for spreading the good word, GOP.
Colorado Democrat Congressional candidate Melat Kiros calls to pass Medicare for all and to get rid of any Democrats who oppose it: “The only way we get Medicare for all passed is by getting rid of the Democrats that are actively standing in that way."

Melat Kiros has shown she is not afraid to stand up to corrupt special interests like AIPAC and Big Pharma. She's exactly the kind of bold leader we need in Congress. If you haven’t already, get out and vote for @MelatKirosCO for Colorado's First District.

NEW: The morning after the socialists swept, the establishment had its excuse ready: Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier only won because of gentrification. It was a convenient narrative. It is also false. And we can prove it: open.substack.com/pub/michae…

Van Jones you are completely wrong and completely disconnected from working class people. DSA’s power comes from the people. We listen and we learn and we act on behalf of the people. Your moderate friends don’t know how to do that because they only care about themselves and their own wealth and power. They don’t care about the people. Our next BIG victory, Melat Kiros in CO-01 on Tuesday June 30th! Let’s go people!

Shame on you Governor Shapiro for referring to progressives as performiative. So sick of the arrogance and hubris that come from establishment politicians like you. We are not performing. We are fighting for the working class and for our children that the establishment have left behind in favor of their oligarchy friends the Epstein class and special interest. The American people are demanding something different and we as progressives are a much needed breath of fresh air away from white supremacy American hegemony and patriarchy. We demand dignity respect safety and opportunity for all.

Congressman @RoKhanna is a national leader in the fight for an economy that works for everyone, a sensible foreign policy that puts diplomacy first, and getting the corrupt influence of big money out of our politics. I am proud to have his endorsement for U.S. Senate, and look forward to working with him to build a better future for all of us.

I... Wow... Hunter Biden with a really good analysis of what happened last night.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

The fear mongering isn’t gonna work anymore. Shame on Democrats using hate and racism and divide and conquer bullying tactics. The people see through you. It will not work anymore! Next up is @melatkirosco on June 30th! Go to her website and sign up for a phone bank! She has run an extraordinary campaign. Let’s help push her across the finish line! Let’s win baby! We are unlocking the political imagination of the American people!
