Immigrant New Yorkers belong here. ICE does not. If you need help, call our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365 or dial 311 and say “Immigration Legal.” Help is here in your native language, no matter your immigration status. More info: nyc.gov/knowyourrights

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

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.

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

There was a moment when the US was taken over by enemies and criminals, the incompetent, the corrupt, and the malevolent. They control our government now and will use every means at their disposal, legal and illegal, to try to stop the rest of us from restoring law, order, and decency to US society.

Monopoly Round-Up: Paramount-WB Isn't Just a Loss, It's a Prelude
The unorthodox development isn’t that politicians caved; it’s that people noticed it. Plus, bond yields go nuts, and Trump and Xi meet to hash out China-U.S. relations.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Nearly 3 billion opioid pills entered MI within 7 years. Big Pharma made billions and bought off politicians like Mike Rogers, who took $1M. I put free Narcan in 100 places in Wayne County to fix what he broke. Today, on National Save a Life Day, take a moment to learn how Narcan can save a life.

I'm a little surprised a television station in the east somewhere hasn't rebranded their FCC call letters to "WOKE". Seems like super easy branding: "WOKE News at 11".

Healthcare costs are out of control. While Tom Kean Jr. voted to kick over 300,000 New Jerseyans off of their health insurance, I’ll fight for a public healthcare option so everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare, regardless of their employment status.

Hey NJ 7th Congressional District, have you noticed a great many Tom Kean, Jr., adverts on YouTube lately? He talks about “fighting” to restore the SALT deduction and fighting for the health care NJ residents “deserve”. But he hasn’t accomplished anything except voting for Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.
