It's June 6th, so I have the number 6 on my mind today. Six happens to be the number of House seats we need to flip to destroy the supermajority that is holding our state back. Let's work together to make this happen. Get out there and vote on Tuesday & November 3! #scpol #jennafor112

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
