    Last January I was sworn in for my first term in Congress. So, what have we accomplished since then? Let’s take 2(ish) minutes to review.

    This continues to be one of the most bizarre campaigns / uses of energy in Washington. Once again, Senate should vote NO on confirming Rahm Emanuel.

    Officially sent to the senate.

    And before haters get wild flying off the handle, New York elected officials are routinely invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing and supporting the city’s cultural institutions for the public. I was one of several in attendance in this evening.🤗

    New from on pathway to citizenship for TPS holders: "Congress has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish pathways to citizenship and finally provide these individuals — along with Dreamers, farm workers, and essential workers — the stability they deserve."

    This is huge. Faircloth repeal is a big initiative and she's on the committee.

    Replying to @ddayen
    Interestingly, the so-called Faircloth Amendment is temporarily repealed for these dollars, though I don’t believe many (if any) PHAs are anywhere close enough to their 1999 limit where this would actually be a radical departure. But it is a signal shift at the very least.

    Imagine if every time someone referred to someone as “young lady” they were ask responded to by being addressed with their age and gender? They’d be pretty upset if one responded with “the old man,” right? Why this kind of weird, patronizing behavior is so accepted is beyond me!

    In Washington, I usually know my questions of power are getting somewhere when the powerful stop referring to me as “Congresswoman” and start referring to me as “young lady” instead 😉

    When lobbyists, special interests, and tax-cheating corporations are all lined up against you, you're probably doing something right. I'm ready to do what it takes to pass a Build Back Better bill that meets this moment, whether they like it or not.

    Wild how many people - including the Supreme Court in gutting voting rights - have insisted that widespread racism was largely a societal problem of generations past when a majority of people in the US opposed interracial marriage up until around the time of Blue’s Clues & N*SYNC

    Gallup: Support for interracial marriage hits an all time high of 94% On one hand it's great that people have come so far, but it's really sad that it took so long to get there. The other lesson is that every generation is more accepting of others than the previous one.

    Ah yes, because nothing says “there’s definitely no need to collectively organize for better working conditions here” than “mandatory anti-union meetings to keep your job”

    Starbucks began holding mandatory anti-union meetings for unionizing Starbucks workers in Buffalo today. I just spoke to a worker who attended one at a Marriott. "They said 'We’re holding meetings because we want you all to vote no and we’re giving you all the info you need.'

    This week alone I worked w/ FEMA, Gov & to make this one of the fastest FEMA responses in history, organized to connect 173k of my constituents to disaster grants, toured small businesses to assess damage, AND fought for LGBT+ justice. Don’t be mad if you can’t keep up 🥰

    .'s district is one of the most affected by Hurricane Ida and rather than focusing on relief money she's spent the week musing about men menstruating and calling people who are pro-life proponents of "rape culture". This is the lady Nancy Pelosi takes orders from.
