Also impressive was the amount of support from the never ending traffic flowing by. Lots and lots of honks!

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

We’re facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations—and it doesn’t have to be this way.

On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are coming together to make sure #GoodTroubleLivesOn

Trump is sunsetting FEMA and plans to distribute all disaster relief funds not out of the Dept of Homeland Security, but directly from the WHITE HOUSE.

Disaster relief will be GROSSLY politicized. Governors will have to kiss the ring to get access to resources to help their states.

One can only wonder if these stock market swings are planned by Trump so that he and his buddies can make big $s...

I have few ideas on how to fight Donald Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP and the MAGA cult. Reality won't work. For Donald Trump, facts don't matter.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I am calling my Congress people every day and lay into them about this coup of our money and data. Elon and his kids are illegally accessing our data. Has anyone scrubbed their computers, phones and watches for worms, viruses, trojan horses, etc? This will come back to bite each and every one of us.

This has been my favorite line "You get what you vote for AND you get what you don't vote for" We must include all those people who did not make the effort to vote and sat out this election. There will be chaos, pain, suffering and we need to organize to fight back for the next election.

Already done. We need to keep letting our congresspeople know that we are watching them. So far, our vote still counts

My Senator is Rick Scott and I called anyway. Took 3 minutes. He will bow to the Maga King no matter what but it seems worth it to do something and it made me feel better

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.

Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

For better or worse, people get what they vote for or what they don't vote for. This Executive Order is not a surprise to anyone who gave some thought to Trump and his priorities.

Just like there is no voter fraud. That story line evaporated overnight as well.
