Don’t just restore agencies Trump has weakened or tried to dismantle. Congress shld codify their statutory missions, protect essential functions, & establish funding requirements that a president cannot unilaterally erase. An EO can be reversed by the next president. Strong laws are harder to undo.

Here's a plan for the future: If Dems regain power, they shouldn’t just undo Trump’s EOs. They shld fix the structural weaknesses that let presidents dismantle federal programs, withhold approved funds, politicize the civil service, weaken watchdogs, & expand exec. power w/few immediate consequences

US inflation is "entirely" due to Trump's tariffs. I am hard pressed to think of a worse decision by any President. The consequences were predicted, he did them anyway and here we are. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/08/i...

Inflation on many everyday items was entirely due to tariffs, NY Fed says
Tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to inflation in 67 categories of goods by February 2026, researchers at the New York Federal Reserve found.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
