In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

The executive committee of North Carolina’s Democratic Party passed a resolution on June 28 calling for an end to military aid, weapons shipments and logistical support to Israel. 

The resolution is similar to those passed in Wisconsin and Washington State Democratic Parties. The resolution passed by a slim margin, 161-151. 

The State executive committee consists of hundreds of members from across North Carolina. 

“The billions in annual tax payer funds provided to Israel as military aid would be better used to address the needs of Americans in the United States,” the resolution read. 

This comes as Lara Trump is considering a run for Senate in the State after Sen.Tillis announced he would retire. Lara Trump would definitely be an ally for Israel and send our tax dollars to an apartheid State.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate. 

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

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