    A better world is not only possible, it is within our reach. From mutual aid in our communities to solidarity in the streets, the people of New York have already started to reshape our future. It’s time to bring the movement to the voting booth. VOTE this Tuesday, June 23rd.

    The HEROES Act the House passed months ago covers several (but not all) of these points. GOP Senators, pledging allegiance to Mitch McConnell, have intentionally sat on this bill & did nothing. People are starving. Babies are sleeping on car floors. Where is the needed urgency?

    Mass evictions could be prevented if Congress prioritized struggling people 1/2 as much as it prioritizes Wall St bailouts. It’s never too late to help people w/: - rent + mortgage relief - 2nd stim check - UI extension - Emergency state & local funding - Expand Medicare & more

    One of the most important pieces of journalism all year -- with the stories of those being evicted and losing their livelihood every day due to the economic stresses of Covid-19. America is in crisis. Don't look away.

    Ever notice how primary challenges from progressives are derided as “divisive” and “bad for the party,” yet folks are oddly silent about how the center/conservative wing of the party just spent millions trying to unseat me, Ilhan, Rashida, & Ed Markey? Funny how that works.

    Here's suggesting lawmakers subpoena Postmaster General Louis DeJoy over possible conflicts of interest. A subpoena was just issued by the House Oversight Committee.

    If the USPS is surprised we are issuing a subpoena, it’s because they weren’t listening. I said directly in the hearing that if DeJoy didn’t quickly hand over documents, we should issue a subpoena. They knew the consequences of stalling. Now, where‘s his unaltered calendar?

    New from on subpoena for docs: "We remain surprised and confused by Chairwoman Maloney’s insistence on issuing a subpoena to the Postal Service in the midst of ongoing dialogue with her staff ... We fully intend to comply with our obligations under the law."

    Growing up, my father told me, don’t beg for your rights, you organize, and you take them. So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win.

    On a personal note, when I first got to Congress the reception I got in many spaces was v chilly. Ed Markey wasn’t afraid. He offered his expertise & partnership. He wasn’t scared of big policy & didn’t use kid gloves. It‘s great to watch him overcome the odds and win tonight.

    Is it strange to anyone else that virtually none of the reporting on rising violence in US cities is making links to the economic catastrophe — job losses, evictions — that poor Black communities are enduring because of Covid? 1 of biggest rises is in DV. Yet citing gangs/guns.
