Deeply disappointing that my Congressman opposes the recognition of Palestine.

30 House Democrats sign a letter led by Rep Jake Auchincloss criticizing countries for recognizing Palestine
They praise the Arab League’s recent statement condemning Hamas, while not realizing the statement was part of the French-Saudi push for recognizing Palestinian statehood

As an eyewitness, wearing my 2004 American League Championship sweatshirt, watching that hard-hit ball defy that rare strong incoming northeast wind was rather gratifying, given the venue, and that shaky one-run lead. @MediasRojas !

Perhaps refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for Mayor who has inspired new people to get into politics in the country's biggest city where you also live is a clue to the broader problem? Just one idea....

This bill will be a disaster for health in NYC
900k kicked off medicaid
17k jobs lost in hospitals
$500M blow to H H
Safety net hospitals in Bronx and Brooklyn at risk of closure
For what? All to fund tax cuts for millionaires
This is a disgrace of historic proportions

My soulless DC rep @NMalliotakis says “nobody loses benefits” and then goes on to say seniors on Medicaid should get up off their couch and go work 20 hours a week to keep their insurance. Then she runs away.
NY's 11th Congressional District has 300,000 people on Medicaid.

Not just the ever-prevaricating Democratic governor, but the Democratic leaders in both houses of Congress stubbornly refuse to make what should be automatic endorsements of the resoundingly elected Democratic nominee for NYC mayor -the wrong leaders, on the wrong side of history

Meeting the NYC Democratic mayoral candidate seems like a basic next step for the House Democratic leader

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on a decisive primary victory.
Assemblyman Mamdani ran a strong campaign that relentlessly focused on the economy and bringing down the high cost of living in New York City.
We spoke this morning and plan to meet in Central Brooklyn shortly.
